I just read this. Very upsetting. I had many a good conversation with him.

 

Indeed - we’ve lost a couple of great people in the last 12-15 months.

 

Weekendrider and RobinC. Just crazy.

 

"It has been 40 years since we last got together. Different paths, different places ya know how it goes.
Friends lost and friends gone, how long we are here nobody knows.
So I'll make this trip just to see.
Two friends from my past and how they be.
Together again we will lift a brew to memories past.
Not as many as we once did, and I'm sure not as fast.
A weekend for old friends.
I get to see."

Poignant.

 

Well, at least something positive has come of RobinC leaving us.

Readers may recall that my friend John and I bought Robin’s bikes and we got the ‘78E running last weekend. It’s not roadworthy yet, but it’ll get there.

Today, Lakeview and I nipped up to London and worked with John (aka TotalFool) on the ‘73 TX650 - and made substantial progress on that one too.

I’ll let TotalFool tell that story.....

 

Ask not for whom the bell tolls. The bell tolls for thee.
