    Sadly, Dave Degens passed away yesterday, a well-known figure in racing circles, and for building some of the best Tritons. RIP from an ageing Rocker.

    Not nice to hear, he certainly was a genius with Tritons.
    Bloody shame.:pensive:

    RIP Mr Degans. Heard so many stories of your ventures. For motorcycling and all of us you will be sadly missed. Have a great time in Heaven and get some great bikes for all of us to ride later on.

    A good few years ago I wrote to Dave Degans about bringing my old Tbird back to life. No answer was received so eventually I rang him. Suffice to say that at the end of the conversation there was no way that I would have entrusted the refurbishment of my machine to such a person.
