From www.cdnsuperbike.com:

The Canadian motorcycle industry lost one of its own last week when journalist Piero Zambotti was killed in a motorcycle crash.

Zambotti, who worked for Cycle Canada Magazine, passed away Friday, October 10 after crashing a Honda Gold Wing during a road test.

Zambotti was also an accomplished road racer and competed in a round of the Parts Canada Superbike Championship this season.

I had the opportunity to work with Piero last January during Honda’s CBR600RR press launch in Las Vegas. Although I didn’t get the chance to know him as well as others, it was a pleasure to ride with him both on the track and on the street.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Piero Zambotti from cdnsuperbike.com.
