I remember you writing about that the last time his name came up.

Is this someone I know of?

Nope. Bratty was a big regular on here and on ride outs. He was a forever present. Then he just disappeared.

I seem to remember you saying that his other half pretty much read the riot act to him after his last unplanned dismount, which would explain a lot.

He rode for a bit after that. He got a scooter for commuting. His wife was ill, I think he sold his bike and biking stuff to help pay for some treatment.

The stories he told on the Misano trip were legendary.

The classic was the chocolate hob nobs tale in Ibiza (IIRC).

Sitting at the airport waiting to fly away for 6 weeks, 3 weeks of quarantining and 3 weeks of actual work offshore.

Going to have no skin left on it by the time I get home (lol)

Had mother in law’s ashes interred this afternoon. Buried in the same plot as her husband.

Sun shone brightly during the short service.

The only worthwhile evidence of our being that most of us can leave is happy memories.

Hiding indoors today from the wind...which us fuelling a brushfire in Santiago Canyon, which is creating a huge cloud of ash & smoke, which makes going outside a PITA, is making a mess everywhere, etc. The whole place stinks ATM.
Etc., etc.

An unexpected day off today, I had been guaranteed a shift but none appeared, so I did the usual day off shopping run, some errands and some diy around the house.

And watching 3 fully grown blokes on tour on 125's, it actually looks a good laugh (125cc Motorcycle BIG little adventure) and I can see why 3 of my friends own powerful litre bikes, and a Honda Cub. Long videos though.

Still a great reflection of your talent that he’s willing to outlay that amount of coin on images you’ve captured. Well done (y)

Indeed, and hopefully a huge advert in his house or office for your skills.
