Brought a tear i must admit, i think his mums thoughts about every time he went out on his bike wondering if he would come back, mirrors all our loved ones feelings.
Its one thing we dont sometimes think about the worry we put our loved ones through every time we go for a ride.

Very sad reading, it's always hard balancing the love of riding with the concerns of family members, to lose someone you love to something you don't understand the urge for must be horrible

Just read that article, it was a nice article very touching and sad

I never knew he was a personal trainer / gym instructor, would explain his athletasism (sp?)

Thoughts are with his Mum, family and friends, must of been tough doing that interview

I saw this earlier in the week but didnt know whether to bring it to other attention or not.

Thats very sad reading that, I hope our presence at his funeral was of some comfort to her, to show her what biking brought to his life aswell as the thrill.

Aww tear in my eye, what a lovely piccy of Hovis and Mummy Hovis. She was ever so proud of him what a sad thing for her to do but what a lovely article.

I still can't believe he gone

That`s so touching and a lovely read. I admire Mrs Furness immensely.... despite her grief she wants everyone to know how much she loved her son and how proud she was.

thankyuo for putting that up Jabba, very touching article and the photos look lovely. His ma's a very brave lady, I'm so glad about the spectacular turnout at the funeral.

How can I word this carefully ?

In a way I am thankful that he went instantly and that he appeared to be sleeping and didn`t look any other way . It would be even more heartbreaking to know that she had to see him one last time in any other condition than that , heartbreaking as this has been for everyone . That last little bit of info there has taken any sort of .............. well , thoughts I had about it and has cleared it up for me , it`s upset me again for sure , upsetting that Joyce had to see her little lad Sleeping for the last time . Aah I gotta go ..............
