I last saw Tim when we went to Poole quay the other week, I went with my boss Jo on her 748 and I was on my XB12s. He was enthusing over his forthcoming trip to France and I wished that I was going. I am so pleased that he had a good time. Perhaps he was a bit tired and near home etc and not expecting some t**t to pull out in front of him, ( this is just speculation on my part but I'll bet that is what happened). Absolutely gutted over this, just lost another mate, Darren ( Yoffi ) a week or two before in similar outcome. My thoughts go to his wife and two daughters, I can't imagine what you are going through. A smashing bloke who couldn't do enough for anyone and was never bitchy or nasty to anyone although he had a grat sense of humour. I will miss him and will have to get my own maps now as he always had maps on him of the routes to be taken etc!!
RIP Tim.

not really known what to say about teejay, only a rare name on the org to me. Never nice to hear of another guy that leaves for good. After reading your post and also knowing of people close to Yoffi it really brings home how precious our lives really are. My partner was at the Buell day in Lincolnshire on the day that Yoffi 'left the building' and was gutted when the news arrived he wasn't going to make it, having only met him once, but he did make it to Wales to celebrate his life the week after.
Knowing how Yoffi's life was celebrated, I hope that all those close to Teejay can bring themselves to remember the colourful times they spent with him, as friend, family and loved one.
RIP to another biker guy.
