Terrible loss. I will miss his presence in the Isle of Man TT and in my personal memory, will remember him always in the same company as Dunlop and Hailwood.

Godspeed.

Sorry to hear of his passing, RIP

I'm still surprised they race bikes there, I know there would be uproar if they stopped, but the place just seems so dangerous.

Re: David Jeffries Killed in Isle of Man TT Practice

Same reason why Shumacher from Formula 1 won't touch Daytona - he believes it is absolute madness. But I think NASCAR fans would be in an uproar if it was cancelled - even after EarnhardT Sr. (RIP). MC fans would be as well if TT was. I freakin love it! Sad to see him go. We'll miss you 'BIG DAVE'

Running the Isle of Man TT the way those guys do is as close to a death wish as it gets. There is just too much stuff to hit.
