R.I.P Kurt Caselli (1983 – 2013)

A tribute video to the legendary Kurt Caselli who lost his life yesterday at the Baja 1000 by MIKEDGAF1503.

There are some conflicting reports about the accident, but whatever the true circumstances turn out to be it is a very sad day indeed. Thoughts and condolences to his fiancée and all of his friends and family.

I was lucky enough to meet him on a few occasions in California and in Salzburg and was touched each time by his warm personality, huge smile, positivity and kind words. He seemed to have this effect on everybody he met and I am sure he will be missed and remembered with fondness by all.

I asked some kids at a Glen Helen WORCS race a few years ago who their favourite rider was and they all said without fail, Kurt Caselli. He won on that day too as he did so often. RIP.
