Paul was local to me in the UK and I used to follow him in my youth, I last saw him at a bike meet near me a couple of years back and knew that he was in poor health but was coping, however I didn't expect this to happen and we can only send our condolences to his family especially his wife (Barry Sheene's sister).
The accident was at a notorious black spot in our area |

Sad news. I only really know him as Bazza's sister in law and Scott Smart's father, but he no doubt was a very good rider in his own right. RIP
