John Deacon
Top British motorcyclist John Deacon was killed in the rally Masters in Syria. Deacon fell off his BMW bike and hit some rocks he died from severe head injuries, Deacon from Plymouth has competed in many bike endurance races including the Paris-Dakar rally.
It's such a shame when someone dies especially when there young I mean this year it has sadly been a tragic year of motorsport and this is just another sad story among many this year my condolences go out to John's wife and his two children. |

Terrible, terrible news
 This year truly has been horrible. We saw John demonstrating 1999 BMW Paris-Dakar bike recently (the bike took 1-2-3-4 on the Dakar that year) and my lasting memory of him will be him totally straightlining the Goodwood drive - across the grass and all...! RIP John - and say hello to our other fallen heroes for us. |
