    Mr Smith, RIP

    Those who have been riding motorcycles for a while will know of Peter Smith aka Mr Smith. He wrote in Two Wheels and also edited Streetbike at one time.

    Jeremy Bowdler, Editor, Two Wheels has just advised of Peter's passing.

    RIP Mr Smith.

    Always enjoyed his columns when I used to get TW magazine. Sad to hear.

    FYI - John Rooth aka 'Roothy' of 4WD action magazine fame was a former editor/contributor of TW and apparently a great mate of Mr. Smith.

    He wrote a great article about some of the best memories of Mr. Smith not long after he passed away.

    Shame Mr. Smith didn't write about Land Rovers - we'd all be better off for it

    To quote his famous end of article line....."Copulator!"
