Retired motorcycle racer, designer, and Roadracing World contributor and illustrator Mick Ofield died Sunday, February 23rd at home in McMinnville, Tennessee.
He raced in the U.K. and on the Isle of Man and did motorcycle design work for Norton before legally immigrating from the U.K. to the United States. After arriving in California, he club raced, worked designing leathers, and later ran his own advertising and design agency before retiring in 2007 and moving to Tennessee with his wife Peggy.
He produced the Historic Racebike Illustrations feature in Roadracing World for decades and turned in his latest installment in the series shortly before his sudden death from cancer. More information will be posted as it becomes available.
