Life's a bitch - my friend died yesterday - SV650.org

Life really is a goddamn bitch.

We had a fantastic ride to Abersoch today. I got back to hear that my friend Henry on the 675 forum was killed yesterday. I don't have the details and I'm not sure I want them. I met him at the fest (equivalent of AR) last year, and then on the factory tour. The site has a chat function, we used to chat quite a bit either on chat or in the mods room, and he only texted me yesterday. He loved bikes - always fiddling with his 675, he painted it blue and white cos that was a colour scheme he liked on an old Triumph Trident, and he so wanted it to be a modern Trident that he took all the Daytona markings off it. I used to take the **** that it was a shame it didn't have an oil leak, it would be a bit more realistic.

From County Donegal, and lately living in Lincoln, he was 45, his girlfriend is expecting their baby in June. He was so excited - the baby was their first child.

I feel utterly shocked.

Rest in peace, my friend.

Ed

Awww...sympathies Ed. Tough times ahead....and I guess that's a bit of an understatement.

I'm sorry for your lost Ed nothing may make you feel better...despite this your friend will live on through his child and he/she will know him through friends and family. No one is ever lost as long we talk about them.

Sorry to hear this Ed. Thoughts to his girlfriend, family and friends. Hope you're doing alright as well.

Oh God, that is tragic mate. My sincere sympathies to you and to pass on to his family. Times like these that make you realise just how fragile life is and what we take for granted. Hug your family a bit tighter tonight everyone xx
