I am saddened at Robins passing I was thinking of him only recently and wondering how he was.
I knew Robin from when I had my first Vincent and would ride down from Maidstone to a pub somewhere on the Canterbury road out of Charing where a Kent chapter of the club used to meet. I also well recall again in the 60s just before I had broken down on the M1 somewhere around Leicester on the way home from the national at Rugby the Belfry a fast machine went by on the near empty road easily doing a `ton` it was Robin. Many years later I re-joined the club with another Comet and he was one of the first who said welcome.
Robin was a committed racer as the cutting shows I have had the cutting since the 1960s. He was well known for his shiny mostly Stainless Steel Rapide even down to the carbs.
Another biker down.
