Ago, Phil and myself were the Motorcycle Class judges at The Cartier Concourse d'Elegance in Mumbai a number of years ago. Phil later stayed at my place in Hong Kong on his way to a classic race in New Zealand. He declared that he loved HK and would definitely return, but that was the last time we met, although we did keep in touch with the occasional e-mail. A great rider and a character, R.I.P. Phil.
