Sad news indeed, the world will be a greyer place without Wilf.
He was one of lifes characters.
I remember someone saying to Wilf at a rally once "Are you THE Wilf Owens?". We pulled his leg about it at the time. On reflection, the chap was probably right, there will only ever be one Wilf.
He will be sorely missed.
Les.

We where shocked about the sudden death of Wilf Owens. Just a week ago he reported about the color of his black Shadow.
We will miss him at the Rally,s.

Wilf really was a serious Vincent rider - he did 330,000 miles on his Shadow, mostly abroad.

But he was never an over-serious man. He was quiet, witty, dry, humane.

He will be greatly missed. And never replaced.

I had the pleasure of meeting him at a rally a number of years back, I had only just joined the VOC that year and popped into a meeting in while I was on a caravan holiday with my family, a lovely man, a sad loss,
My sincere condolences to his family.
Ken.
