-- Australian motojourno icon Ken Wootton passed away overnight

-- Statement from AMCN

It is with great sadness that AMCN this morning learnt of the passing
of ex-AMCN Editor, Ken Wootton.

The "Woose" was holidaying in Europe, where he passed away in his
sleep on Sunday, 24 July in Czechoslovakia.

Ken will be sadly missed across the motorcycling world, as his reach
and achievements were enormous. He was the man who set AMCN on its
successful modern course, sat in the editor seat at Motorcycle Trader,
possessed an incredible motorcycling and Australian road-racing
knowledge no-one can rival, helped many Australian road racers on
their path to success and tested all genres of motorcycles.

He achieved a lot in his too-short 57 years, and has left some massive
shoes to fill. Everyone at AMCN is thinking of his sister Karen, and
all those who knew the Woose. He was a real character of Australian
Motorcycling and will be missed around the motorcycling world.

Holy Shit!

Apart from the man himself who will be sorely missed - 57? WTF?

N/

 

I read about this earlier this arvo, he'll leave a big hole in the
Australian motorcycle journalism scene.

RIP

R.I.P. Woose.

Aido.

 

Damn that's a bugger. He was a character of the industry.

 

Not good news. But on a lighter note,

Maybe Clem will get his windcheater now...

 

Or maybe that long-promised ride on the RC30?

It's been a while now. Any news on the cause of death?

 

"And to xxxxx, I leave my beloved Honda RC30 on the condition that
Clem Doherty will never ever be permitted to ride it."
