So no more Ogri.

I thought he carked it several years ago?

Me too, but I can't find anything about it on the tinternets.

Can't find an obit anywhere, I reckon your mate is somewhat gullible...

Oh.

Ah, RIP.
Ogri was in Bike magazine right? I'm sure I must have few complete Ogri comic books gathering dust in a lockup somewhere.
And my username was taken from one of Malcolm's bike if I recall correctly

Well known among in Oz and among triple heads. Peggy Hyde,a remarkable lady.
Copied from FB.

Motorcycling Australia is mourning the passing of 82-year-old Peggy Hyde, who cut a swathe through local road racing in the 1960s and 1970s, setting precedents and benchmarks for female participation in what was then a male-dominated sport.
The Melbourne-raised Peggy (or Margaret Moorhouse to others) began road racing at Winton in 1967 (sharing a Suzuki T20 with her partner, Julian) on an open competition licence – the first woman in the world to do so.
A couple of years later she purchased a Kawasaki H1 triple, which could be a tricky proposition at the best of times, but in her first meeting at Mallala she rode it to the event to run it in and finished sixth in the Senior GP – taking home three bucks prizemoney!
In 1970, she really started to form a potent combination with the H1, and in the Harvey Wiltshire Memorial meeting at Calder star duo Ken Blake and Peter Jones both crashed trying to keep Peggy in their sights.
By the late 1970s Peggy’s life was moving on from racing – sailing and the tropics became a huge passion – but she did make an appearance at the 2014 Broadford Bike Bonanza riding the ex-Mike Hailwood Ducati 750SS using her 40-year-old leathers!
Peggy also became a staunch advocate for environmental causes in far-north Queensland, as well as continuing to champion a variety of female issues, particularly domestic violence.
Vale Peggy: a true trailblazer for women in motorcycling and someone who lived life with absolute conviction.

You'd know him if you saw him (when he was well), was Dawson in Dawsons creek.
