Buckster Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Feels strange to not see some thought provoking possibly acidic posts from Pete here this morning as he invariably kicked the week off and got everyone posting. It occurred to me that we have lost one of the old guard, we have seen a lot of this over the years in the motorcycle scene, some from natural causes, some bike accidents, other more tragic events like Chopstick Jim. It is the consequence of getting older that you see people pass on. In Pete’s case he will be missed because quite simply he was a giant in the online motorcycle scene, he had a unique way of bringing people together online. Unlike just about everyone else who runs forums, Pete never took himself too seriously, he was as fair game for piss taking as anyone else. I’m half expecting to find he has been interned in a crypt built in the shape of a Shad top box and still slightly smaller than the one fitted to his bike. The internet seems a little quieter this morning and the world feels a little emptier. 7 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzzak Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Yep, there sure is something missing. I got to thinking about when I first came across him, it was Maximum Bikes and I had my XT660X and Kwaka Z9r so about 2007, it's been quite a while. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel le Moose Fondler Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Surreal feeling this morning...still expecting him to post something... We've never met but we had a phone conversation many years ago...he seemed like a swell fellow and i would have made and effort to meet up with him for a bike ride if I didn't live a half world away.. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
