Paul Hamilton.


Dave Muller writes about Paul Hamilton.

I first met Paul in the mid '60's. w
He worked at Shimwells Motorcycles in Smith Street as a mechanic on Triumph bikes.
Paul moved to Honda House in Pine Street a few years later as Workshop Foreman. I often stopped at the workshop out on test drives from WRC Currie workshops where I worked just around the corner in Stanger Street.

Paul would prepare race bikes, most notably for Simon Fourie, then a part time prosecutor ,Taxi driver and "Shabeen " supplier to the Bikers at the Cuban Hat.
When Simon wanted to enter the Bloem 3 hour race, Paul somehow convinced Honda to supply a CB450 Black Bomber for the event. Fourie rode it to Bloem, raced it ,crashed, finished the race and rode it back to Durban where Paul panel beat it back into shape and on the road.
Alan Jones bought a Truimph Trident for the South African TT of 1970 and asked Paul to make a race exhaust, copying the 3 into 1 of the Factory Works Paul Smart bike.
Filling the headers with sand and ingeniously bending glowing tubes around some other pipes Paul's pipes made the Works Triumph pipes look rather shabby.

Paul and I rode bikes in the late 60s early 70's with the Road Runners Club and had really good fun.

In the 80's and into the 90s Paul was an assessor and I had dealings with him in in my Unitrans and Roadhog days; in all matters Paul was a really honest and fair man.

Early last year I bumped into him at our local Checkers. He was clearing out his workshop of 50 odd years of bike spares in order to move into a smaller flat...that must have been hard..but as always he had a smile and that happy face. RIP my friend. I will see you on the Highways of Heaven.

Ian Campbell-Gillies writes about Paul Hamilton

In my 42 years in the Truck Panelbeating industry I have met many assessors. Ours is a difficult industry and ethical assessors are rare. Paul was one of this elite group, perhaps the best.

Forever smoking a cigarette, Paul was happy to shoot the breeze briefly, but preferred to get down to the business of assessing the correct loss amount as soon as possible. As like as not he would don an overall or work coat and dig around the wreck like the sleuth he was. Despite this fastidious approach he was never mean-spirited, and I have no doubt that all parties to the process were satisfied with the result.

He was, on the other hand, not popular with charlatans. This of course endeared him to Insurance Companies, and indeed why not?

When our company had a claim or dispute, we would ask for Paul to assess, as this was the best way to get the facts out on the table. He never failed in this regard.

I will recall with pleasure that as the years passed we would shoot the breeze a little longer as Paul drank black coffee with too much sugar. We fell into a quality friendship I will always be grateful for.

Salute Paul. Thanks for the wisdom and laughter. We will all miss you here at Clark and Kent.
