Slowlycatchymonkey Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I’ve been trying to think of what I want to say but the words don’t seem to want to form so forgive the mishmash of thoughts, if I leave it any longer I won’t say anything and that just doesn’t seem right. He was as everyone’s pointed out already a good guy. He went out of his way to help people and not in some sort of desperate way where he wanted the accolades, in a behind the scenes way. Not just impractical “there there” type help either, genuinely helpful in real ways. When I first came to Spain he gave me invaluable advice and that is something I’ll forever appreciate. We shared the same sort of politics and I followed him here from the other place because I enjoyed that and his piss taking sense of humour. He had a large personality and never tried to make himself small to fit in with other peoples expectations and that boldness of character is something I admire. You know you’d never see him kowtowing to anyone even when he was administering his balm to bonkers folk. I also appreciated that he didn’t mind saying if he didn’t know something which a lot of peoples egos prevent them from doing, many people would rather make something up than say “I don’t know” and for that reason he was a reliable person to ask about a lot things, apart from bike maintenance His fears that I would do my own often led him to tell me to leave it to the experts. Sometimes I found that frustrating but I knew it came from a place of real care. He had a kind and turns out faulty heart and while he enjoyed a bit of shit stirring he always smoothed things over when things got fractious in a way so skilled that I’ve rarely seen it in anyone else. I’m sure if they’d put him on a UN peace keeping force the war between the Ukraine and Russia would have finished with a nice cup of tea by now, he probably had enough teabags to make the entire population a cup. Some rare people look for the good things, the things to like in another person, he was one of those. I’m surprised by just how miserable this has made me, because I think perhaps when your friends with people on the internet you put them in a separate box to the one where real life friends exist but this really has already shown me that friendship with people as good as Pete matter just as much. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd got hold of a pinched and recovered transalp and hadn't been on there long but he asked me to have a look on his forum. Prob just to off load said tyres. Think it was DSUK and soon changed to Maxbikes. I'd got a few PMs off him over that time but never phoned me, didn't have my No anyway. Think he'd sussed I was a boring basted. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, you need infinite patience, I had one running for years with hundreds of users, got too much in the end, the bickering and back stabbing so I pulled the plug, not before I handed it over to someone else who not too long after wanted to hand it back LOL. Pete's forums always catered for a very small niche of asshats but loyal asshats who stuck around. Technically they're not hard at all 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupid Stunt Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 R.I.P. Pete Condolences to the family and friends Pete, I hope this gives you a laugh wherever you are.... You always called me "mad" and recently it was confirmed in a diagnosis LOL, yes Pete, it's official. I'll think of you whenever I ride my scoot (that's almost daily now) and feel the wind on my vagina :), (that's an in joke, "men buy scooters so they can feel the wind on their vaginas") Can we get together and have a "wake" in Wales for Pete ya reckon? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
