And the big brother Dragsters. I wonder if he designed those too.
Edit: did a quick search which reminded me that Dragsters were Healing’s answer to Raleigh’s Chopper

Choppers well predated BMX bikes.
I was unfortunate enough to get a Raleigh20 as a bike but once I removed the mudguards and carrier it took me all sorts of places. Mates and I used to make and ride tracks in the bush way before any of us had heard of such a thing as a mountain bike or BMX -

Nooooo!
But then again meh.
What a player in his prime but the became a vapid after dinner speaker cashing in on the once lucrative corporate lunch scene in the 90s, which was an abortion of idea.
Still. On reflection, sad news.

Always sad when one of your rugby heroes goes.
I met him about 6-7 years ago at a sporting lunch along with Fitzy. Not the greatest of speakers as you say (unlike Fitzy), but chatting one of my rugby idols was great and his views on other players of that era was an experience I'll treasure.

Jeff Beck, guitar god who influenced generations, dies at 78
NEW YORK (AP) — Jeff Beck, a guitar virtuoso who pushed the boundaries of blues, jazz and rock ‘n’ roll, influencing generations of shredders along the way and becoming known as the guitar player’s guitar player, has died.
Fuck, that one cuts deep.
No exaggeration, he was, as the article states, the Guitarists Guitarist, an absolutely wicked player. Not as well known as his contemporaries but he was so original and pretty much impossible to replicate.
I always thought he should have joined forces with Rod Stewart and whoever else and formed a band to rival all those 70s monsters and get the commercial success he deserved but then again he sounded like his own dude and happy to march to his own beat.
RIP to a true one of a kind.

Certainly a very influential player and idol to many other guitar greats.

you are taking the piss right? I can't always tell now I'm in my dotage
I was only playing Jeff Beck Group yesterday. Massively rated (yet still under-rated) guitarist. Saw him live once. Just a virtuoso
