Haha! I just shared this link on with the BCF Facebook group.
Very sad indeed.

You wouldn't unless you had an interest in that element of motorcycling. We've been lucky here in the UK that no-one has died pursuing landspeed records in recent years or even just chasing personal top-speed goals. There have been a few very high-speed accidents that were all survived.
Running at the ragged edge has always been risky. Dave Owens paid the ultimate price a few years ago and now Bill Warner - both very popular guys and great ambassadors to Landspeed Racing.
