Re: Hovis - My Memory and Yours
On my stag do, Hovis was his usual drunken self. He did two things that made me laugh that weekend.
1. He decided to breakdance in a club. This involved him lying on his back and us spinning him round. 2. He fell asleep with his head on the pdium in a strip bar.

Re: Hovis - My Memory and Yours
his passion and Hobby seemed to be bikes , he went to any meet he could , any rideout , any trip abroad ............ and if they weren`t on he would be tooling about on his trials bikes or razzing about on a mates quad . And inbetween all that he would find time for a Beer with his friends .
Another fond memory was that bloody Digital Camera that he whipped out at the Border Patrol Xmas lunch , that was like some Fisher Price kids camera and the place fell about laughing , he sat there smirking with his Santa hat on and Red nose . Last edited by xXBADGERXx; 04-10-09 at 12:04 AM. |

But he was the first person to pick my bike up from the road (if only to make sure nothing else was damaged) : )

He certainly lived his life! Probably lived more than a lot of people who are twice his age. Fair play I say! |

Re: Hovis - My Memory and Yours
Where to start. I first met him at a Taffia meet at the tredegar arms where he thought I was some weirdo that was groping Stretchie.
AR08 for the bar stool incident, although I thought we were going to lose Viper to a heart attack that night he was laughing that hard. AR08 for the unforgettable sight of little Hovis on the way to the toilet at stupid o'clock in the morning. AR08 for having a very deep and meaningful chat on the Sunday, after which we became firm friends. The many PM's and messages asking for letters to be written and help with various things, always asking me to give Squirrel (the puppy) a cuddle for him! I have a cuddle for you too mate so I'm sending it up to you now |

Re: Hovis - My Memory and Yours
However...one thing that people don't know is that Hovis played a big part in me buying Dave the bike. He was the one I approached when I was a noob, to see if members on here were nice, and wouldn't sell me a piece of poo. As the one with a gazzzillion posts I thought he would know everything....lol
