  1. Tomorrow, Pete's family will have a small family only ceremony in Granada, and then he will be cremated. His ashes will be brought home. They would rather not have anyone else there.

    It poops?
  3. How much of that better balance do you think might come from just having it a little higher in the back than before?
  4. No, Rich. having passed in a hospital there would be no doubt about cause of death, here he would probably have a funeral tomorrow at the latest. I’ll try to know something about the funeral tomorrow.
  5. Nice family heirloom. Hope he rides it, they cope well with mileage and modern day traffic.
  6. I expect they might need a hand talking to people, to sort stuff. And I’ll be available to help if they need anything.
  7. I’ve sent them this: Phil from Wales and all the people from the motorcycle forum have you guys in their thoughts. and sent a link to here. I think it’s enough with having the man deal with me on top of everything else. If any of you want his phone number (Pete’s) that’s all I can do for now.
  8. Bit obvious but have you checked tire pressures?
  9. Yes, Phil. I’ll do my best which is to send Pete a whatsapp, Scott has his phone I think. I have thought of calling but don’t think I’ll impose.
  10. For the record, I’m not going to ask for a video link to the funeral. I’ve offered help, and Scott says they’ll reach out if they need anything.
  11. I've met the guy when he was a kid maybe 20 years ago, we said nothing but a few words to each other back then, I am not a person he's close to. I really don't feel confortable asking him questions just out of curiosity, Pete was in hospital after a heart attack so the medical specifics of it aren't really important to me. I have asked him to give Pete's wife my number, in case she needs a friend to talk to over whatever it might be.
  12. Indeed, he was great at making these run, had great pleasure in providing a place for a few people spread all over the world to meet. And in fact no other forums have the same kind of vibe, we did share our dislike for a couple of members (I'm glad she's gone, he wasn't) but all he really wanted for the place was to keep it alive. I know nothing of internet and computers and servers, but I know you do, so now that you're running it please remember that there's a few people here who would like to help with costs if there's any involved, I would.
  13. A video link to a funeral?
  14. We started on whatsapp instead on normal forum messages because he wanted a live video chat to figure out how to take the sidecases off on his GS1200. He knew they came off because he saw the dealer doing it, but those two differently coloured levers were a step too far once by himself
  15. I sent Pete a Whatsapp, same as ever, when I knew he got taken to hospital, and he replied. Then the next day, yesterday I asked how he was doing and there was no reply. I didn’t bother him because he probably needed the rest and I knew his son was flying in. Then last night I started to worry because he usually replies, so this morning I asked if he was better and his son Scott replied to me saying Peter had passed yesterday. I asked for no further details. In times like these I choose to leave people be and managed their affairs. Scott is now probably dealing with Pete’s company, his brother, Allison ( who is a jewel), and I prefer to not add to that burden. from the timing I assume his funeral is either today or tomorrow, I can ask for you if you want to attend.
  16. That wasn’t my video. I was in fact drinking though.
  17. I’m sorry to say that Pete has passed away yesterday. I didn’t ask for details, but got this from Scott, Pete’s son.
  18. I’m sorry to say that I just got a text from Scott, Pete’s son. Pete passed away yesterday.
  19. Yesterday’s light flash explained, very cool
  20. It crashed into the atmosphere over Portugal, several explosions happened, we heard one of them.
  21. Was at a friend’s place talking on the balcony and the sky lighted up brightly for a few seconds about an hour ago. Think it must have been a meteor as it happened all over Portugal. You had that too in the uk? Cool stuff, mostly because it wasn’t followed by everything being blown by melting winds
  22. We’ll wait until it’s pooped out!
  23. Not a foto, but a small clip I found of a rainy moment on the Nurburgring a few years ago
  24. @XTreme isn’t going to say it so I will. Is that your idea of fun? To be homeless in a muddy field and piss in a bottle? Just filling in
