I've thought a lot about Reeder today. Its kind of hard not to.

I was stood at the butty van at Devils and a pair were talking about their mate sadly passing when he hit a fence last week, and how he had no chance bearing the size of it.
I made my apologies for overhearing their conversation, and said size really didn't matter, and it was really about damn bad luck. I briefly spoke about Reeders frickin sapling. They asked what had happened, and I said nobody was really sure, and left it at that.
There was a short exchange of mutual condolence, and other things we all do when we meet random bikers, and we all walked off with our butties..

I thought I would have a look at Org today to see how everyone was getting on, only to see this thread.

We never had the pleasure of meeting Reeder, but his posts were always funny, and he took being the butt of many jokes in good humour.

Our sincere sympathy to his family.

RIP Andrew.

Visited the forum randomly after a long absence yesterday, only to find out the terrible news. I haven't been able to find the right words until now.

I remember that day well (I'm the one sitting opposite Reeder lighting a cigarette). We were both fairly new to biking and hadn't been on a ride out before. We immediately started chatting, which I think was helped by all the other guys being a good few years older than us (no offence mavi)!

The lasting memory I have is from when we were all riding through some small town or other (god knows where it was!). There was a young lad walking along the pavement with his mum, who was clearly excited to see (and hear!) us all riding past. Andrew immediately slowed down and waved to the kid - putting a big smile on his face.

RIP
