This is a thread for everyone who knew Hovis to post memorable photos of him.

If his family want, these can then be collated and given to them as a little memorial from the ORG.

Here are my contributions.

I love this one courtesy of MissYC. A show of mutual respect. Carnivore and Hovis after a 'comparing battle scars' and table dancing
If this doesn't work please say.

He did his best to worm out of me taking his photo !!! Got his bum tho.... all I remember is that is was always there on rideouts and was a brill rider, I always saw the yellow strip go past and wished I could ride like him !

He was funny and, sorry guys you are funny too, but not in Hovis styleeee

Photos from all sorts of people, so thanks to them. Some of my memories from the recent Peak District Weekend, where he was a prominent character to say the least.

That was the third or fourth one he had picked up that week, he was looking at them and wandering how he would get it home on the bike and whether he would have trouble getting through customs with it :cool:

This was from the invasion of the valleys. The first org ride-out I went on.

Hovis revealed himself to be quite a character on that weekend, by riding the pink elephant!

Hovis revealed himself to be quite a character on that weekend, by riding the pink elephant!

Is this anything to do with Fizzwheels 'announcement' on the mega thread?? Page 1635 onwards
:smt037

** EDIT **

Well, he's sneakily got rid of the evidence of the above...

So back to pics of Hovis

Most of my memories of the man are in my head, but I find I have a few photos of him

Here on the NWR3.5, centre stage lunging

http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w111/luckypants_photos/Hovis/2008_0518NW350008.jpg

and doing what he loved

http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w111/luckypants_photos/Hovis/2008_0518NW350021.jpg

On our trip to Normandy an al fresco breakfast at stupid o'clock - note he is the only one man enough to be wearing leathers! He had the last laugh cos the weather turned and textiles were a bit warm.

More food theme, Hovis came all the way from South Wales just to join the Border Patrollers for our Chrissy Dinner. He wore his hat all the way through :D

So good to see that he took Dunster with him too to Welsh TT - guess the birthday pressie was a hit!

Yes agree - Porlock should be repeated - such a good time and where I looked forward to seeing Hovis again after the washout and AR09.

Its not really the article its the link to you tube at the bottom of the page!

Edit *By the way I don't mean that there run is not worth talking about*

Wow -

Thats good.. and it shows he had so many other mates other than us.. maybe it needs to be a seperate post in Idle banter.. so it gets noticed..

TLW that compilation you did is brill and it deserves to be in that piece.

I think it really does show how many different facets Dave had to his life..
