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

Is this someone I know of?Kwacky wrote:He's on Facebook. His profile says he's living in Droitwich. He's not got anything motorbike related on his account. He used to be friends with a load of us on facebook but I've got no mutual friends with him now. Looks like he's heavily into his Northern Soul.

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.

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.

Re: What are you doing today ??
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.
