Condolences to family, didn't know you RR but do remember that VERY sweet looking Z750. Strika i'll be there more than likely if indeed a bike procession is desired.

Based on the request for donations, and the fact that he had lost a stack of weight last time I saw him, then I would guess at the big C! :( Come along on Tuesday and find out Adel!

Mate Id always want to pay my respect for another rider for what ever reason of death as much as I would like to go unfortunately I cant because of a new job I started and it would be hard, its not a question of travel
