[QUOTE="Russell Kemp, post: 138719, member: 3369"] Hi Sakura, hearing that Dick had passed away was also sad news for me. He used to buy parts from me and was always a pleasure to talk to. My dad had a Rapide for sale that had been under a chicken shed for years and I knew that Dick was looking for a Twin so I gave Dick a call. The deal was done and Dick asked if I could deliver it. The bike was loaded in to my Volvo estate and I set off to Norfolk. Long story short it snowed all day and by the time I got to Dick's house it was clear that I was not going home so a bed was offered for the night. Dick and Jacky treated me to a meal in a local pub then it was back to Dick's for a few glasses of scotch. The next day I had a tour of the workshop that had been rebuilt after a fire that had resulted in the death of Dick's son trying to save one of Dick's classic cars. I would like to say that Dick was a customer but more to the point he was a friend. [/QUOTE]
