Very sad news, Klaus Enders has passed away. One of the best if not the best sidecar riders Germany has produced.
Such a stylish rider, especially on the Busch outfits.
Klaus Enders.

Re: Klaus Enders.
From Pete Bartlett, Klaus's last race at Bemsee was in 1973 at the Hutchinson 100.
Look at that start list
