Unfortunately Dave "Davo " Jones passed away today whilst competing in the Iron Butt Rally in the USA. not sure if anyone else is aware but Davo was in the US competing in his dream and hit a deer whilst travelling at night, he was rushed to hospital but passed away earlier today from head injuries recieved in the crash.
Davo is rememberd for some of his legendary long rides including his ride for Australian Road Rider where he rode a 1400GTR from Byron Bay to Denham and back in 67 hrs, He was a regular attendee at the border run and many other rallies around Australia. I'm certain that he will be missed by many Australian riders.
