The older brother (age 25) of 2007 world supersport champion Kenan died on the 9th May after suffering a broken neck at the Kocaeli race track in the Turkish Motorcycle championship. He previously won the title in 2005.
Some of you may remember he wildcarded in 250 at Istanbul a couple of years back.

Just though I'd let people know, haven't seen a topic about it whilst I was browsing.

It's in some other topics but it deserves it's own.

Condolences.

Racing will always be dangerous, that's what makes these guys admirable characters.

RIP.

That sucks.
I really like Kenan.

I don't know the circumstances and if one would had helped but how much longer is it going to be before road racers are wearing neck braces.
There was a bit of hype about it a while back but it hasn't caught on.
All the MXers are wearing one.
Sadly it may take an incident like this to get people to do it

He said to me . . ....... What have you been doing with all that grocery money I gave you?
I said to him........Turn sideways and look in the mirror!

He said to me . . . Why don't women blink during foreplay?
I said to him . . .. They don't have time!
