Mart on his bike 0, Turning Tractor 1.

Mart made a full recovery and can hobble easily as well as he did before the crash. Motorcycling and swearing at other road users has resumed.


Top Celebrity Death 2025.
Has to be Ozzy. I always thought he'd be last man standing. R.I.P. Ozzy Osbourne. A bloke who was smarter than his public persona. I saw him twice. First time with Black Sabbath when Van Halen supported and once with Blizzard of Oz. Legend!
