Really sad.  I met him and had a chat about a year ago, down at Sammer Miller's place.  A real gentleman.  Such a shame that he was never knighted despite lots of pressure

A few biking legends have tried there hand at 4 wheel competition, but with little success ,

I recall Rossi participating in a Rally of some kind and I think he crashed out

Rossi has done some car rallies with success. He won one at xmas.

Michael Schumacher had a guest ride on a Ducati and Rossi tested at Ferrari back in 204  but I think its doubtful we will ever see anyone repeat Johns success

RIP the fastest gentleman on Earth.
