Scoobs
15-09-08, 05:13 PM
Some pictures of our last epic ride together.....and a few words first.
As always Teej was in the thick of it. Identifying the location, arranging the digs and sorting out the routes we were going to take (with a little help from Ninjabob :D). This is typical Tim. As anyone who has had the pleasure of knowing him will know, he is selfless when it comes to arranging things and making sure everyone else has a good time. I reckon it is just a front though. It's really to make sure he had a good time....but we all benefited from it so I can't complain.
A genuinely nice guy who brought together so many people, not just through motorbiking, but through caravaning as well (spit). An odd combination I thought.
He had a real zest for life and always, always had a smile on his face. He was always laughing and had a real art of taking the ****, but in a nice way.
Shivering Scoobs will miss his impromptu calls. Coming to so and so? I've got a free evening, afternoon, day.....etc. I've seen some great stuff with Teej and enjoyed some real spirited rides with him as well. He still hasn't taught me how to read a map though. I think he despaired of me sometimes. :D
Still can't believe I won't see him again. Ride on brother where ever you are.
