Les Harris RIP

[Rocky]

Les Harris passed away peacefully in hospital at age 69 on 17 Feb. 2009.
As most of you know, after John Bloor bought the rights to the Triumph name in 1983, he contracted Les Harris to continue building Triumphs to keep the name alive while Bloor designed and developed the new range of Triumph motorcycles.
Since I'm 71, 69 seems much too young to be leaving us.
Les Harris will be forever an icon in British motorcycling history.

This sad news and, yes, that is young.

Les, I thank you for your big contribution to Triumph motorcycles. Rest in peace.
