Mick was a real prince of a man. Miss him a lot.
Here's a photo of his Jota. That is NOT a Sprint fairing.

Some of the numbers he clocked racing the little Honda CB160/175's were stellar. I met a few guys who raced against him and they reckoned that his skill was worth about 5 hp on them as his only had mostly labour thrown into the motor and the other fellows had big dollars thrown at them. He humbled quite a few racers with deep pockets.

Sounds like a top flight racer - love hearing stories of underpowered bikes slaying powermongers through riding skill (and a great handling bike like the SF2!). RIP.

Is that the same Mick Hart who was involved with the iloc in the UK back in the early 80s?

Well that's sad news then. I went on a couple of good fangs with Mick, he on a 1200 and me on my SFC750 back in those days. He was quick back then.
Wouldn't have been much older than me. RIP Mick

Sorry to hear this ..... never met him but remember reading reports of his racing exploits aboard his 750 twin .... alongside David Francis ( Calere SF 750 ) , and Tom Quaye , who raced an 830 cc SF ........... Sad news .......
