I just couldnt stop my tears. I was so sad to hear. I was about to start a thread here but saw this thread already been started. Now, I just witnessed again how he deserves respect and interest. Got the chance of meeting him many times and sharing his experiences with us. He loved to teach, he was kind and friendly. He was a good sportsman. Rest in peace Kemal Abi.

As most here a rally fan, Kermal was one of those people that you were always watching for. So sad to hear, both riders will be missed. Prayers go to their families

I had the good fortune of knowing both these riders and this is shocking news to me. I met Kemal at the start of the 2009 Dakar in Buenos Aires and Wouter at the Tuareg rallye earlier this year. Such a loss to both humanity and rally moto, I still do not want to believe it. My sincere condolences to both of their families. R.I.P. Kemal and Wouter.

Doyle & Neduro you both expressed beautifully your thoughts of Kemal and his spirit. His was one the names I would look for in each year's Dakar roster. RIP Kemal & Wouter. Condolences to their friend and families. This is heartbreaking in the extreme.
