Default Sad news, RIP Dez Chand. :(

its with great sadness that I inform you all of the passing of Dez Chand. Former RRCi Editor and all round nice bloke.

He was involved in an accident on his bike on his way to work this morning and unfortunately lost his life in the crash.

Anyone that knew Dez will know about his enthusiastic nature and love for bikes, loud shirts and Coka Cola. He was a true character and will deffinately be missed at the tracks around the country.


RIP Dez.

Sad news. I met Dez a couple of times, through the mardave, and micro scene. His enthusiasm is what I remember him for.

RIP Dez.

Oh dear what a tragic piece of news.
Ill always remember when I turned up to race the GPV bike never having one out of the box. Dez took pity on me and whisked me off to a car park for some private practice and lessons.
I never got the thumbs for RC Bikes, but I can only try to emulate his passion when new people arrive into our sport.

Drink Pepsi? Id rather eat worms.

Thanks for that lil quote Dez, RIP

Such sad news, so difficult to believe. Dez was a genuine character, a great RC ambassador and a wonderful man. Tonight we are thinking of his family and close friends.

I had a Pepsi today - that would have made him laugh! Coke on Sunday it is...

(Kayce - ace avatar and post - I feel this is rather clumsy by comparison...)
