David Jeffries died after a losing control of his TAS Suzuki GSXR-1000. It is believed ( but not confirmed ) that there was oil on the course that was sprayed by another bike.

Jeffries has set many records at the Isle of Mann in several classes of bikes including the fast laptime ever on the ~37 mile course.

Here's to his family...

I know Collin Edwards was the Grand Marshall last year, and did a little publicity lap...and he thought that the riders that do the race are crazy. He recognized just how unsafe the race is. I think Jeffries and Joey Dunlops death shows that the race needs to be scrapped. Maybe more of an 8 hours formula or something...
