Fizz, that's very true.

But the look on Mrs Jabba's face yesterday when I told her made me think........ all she said was "That's three now" (Hacksaw, Teejay before Hovis)

Just looked at Hovis' appeal page..... £1,120.60 very laregely due to the .orgers. Top stuff

Hovis would be gutted if he thought that in anyway he had influenced anyone to give up Bikes.
Unfortunatly what we do is risky and agreed one wrong move and we will have to spend eternity with Hovis in your ear going "fukkin unlucky" but that risk is what keeps you focused and makes you a better rider.

For Hovis sake think very carefully before you make a decision. let the emotion of the past few days subside slightly and then think again.

For me personally Bikes are part of who i am and that bloody bike has introduced me to so many people i would have never met otherwise, including Hovis.

Better to have really lived and been lost that never to have lived at all !!

Welcome dhustondave, thank you for posting and I am so sorry for you all at welshbikers. I will pop over there shortly with a link to the AR10 thread when I have sorted it out as this was Hovis and I, and many others had been getting so excited about. It will now be in memory of Dave and so it would be fantastic if all his friends could join us, even if only for a drink.

Thoughts are with you x

OMG I have only just logged onto the org and found this.

Hovis is no more. I am going to miss the guy.

RIP is so unsuitable for Daves personality. If there is an afterlife I am sure he will be living it large.

I will raise a few glasses tonight in his memory

I second (or third) the notion that Hovis would not want people giving up riding on account of him.
