You may have heard already - I hadn't. According to Two Wheels Forum, Halesey died on Saturday.
He will be remembered by many as a master of 250 Production racing on a 250 Suzuki & later on GSXs with Neil Chivas, Dave Hiscock, etc in Castrol Six Hour races at Bathurst and many other national events. Condolences to his family & friends. Bummers
Alan Hales was a great ex racer and all round friendly face at the cafe with his entourage of friends who are lost without him. It was good to see them back up there.
A lot of people knew Alan and that is why I am posting this. He was a great ambassador for the sport and lived a full life riding and having fun after his racing career was over.
I know he is survived by a son at least, Alan Hales Jr and no doubt a devastated family.
Working at the cafe I have already seen 7 accidents in 3 weeks, 2 Fatal.
Please be careful and give some respect to Alan who will now take pride of place on our Fallen Warriors wall.
Cheers alan
