[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 148871, member: 302"] Earlier this year I purchased a small item off eBay that Roy had listed, as it can be quite a pleasant ride using small roads to Roy’s house, I rode there on my Rapide, and my Son Jamie came along on his H1 Kawasaki triple to collect the won item. As has been stated, Roy is not in the first flush of youth, but he was in great form, such a brilliant chap, he has a method of moving his heavy bikes around his garage using small individual wheel trollies from memory, I just remember the bikes floating around with zero effort. Also has a great sense of humour, he said he derives a certain degree of optimism when he learns that someone of a similar age to himself has passed, he said statistically that information extends his life expectations. Also he was philosophical about losing his pilots licence, apparently he had always kept a low profile and continued flying, gliders I think, but not sure, then the powers that be latched onto fact that he was still flying at 90+ and withdrew his licence. Such a clever chap, and a real nice guy with it. [/QUOTE]
