Very sad.
Condolences to his wife and family.

Unfortunately lost a few friends this year.

Wouldn't be good if that monster bike of Roy's was there too?

Do we have confirmation if we are riding tomorrow as planned, although might get a little wet does not look to bad. Assuming we meet as planned.

Net Weather says it'll be dry. I don't believe them this time:-

Mike and myself are still planning to be there as planned

It's looking a bit iffy weather-wise for tomorrow.

Three different forecasters (Met' Office, BBC Weather and an independent) are giving conflicting info', so personally I'm making a last minute decision tomorrow morning as to whether I'll be riding or not and will post up here.

If not, then Jenny and I will be there by car.

If I'm not on my bike, and for anyone who IS, and to ensure it runs as smooth as it can, please try and stick to the guidelines I posted in UPDATE # 5 on October 24th: http://www.southwestbikers.com/viewtopi ... 8&start=45

One way or another I'll see you all there.

Let's try and give our Roy the best send-off we Southwest Bikers can.

. Not sure anyone will melt if it's a bit wet we aren't made of salt. Will be riding unless really grim.

Attending as per. Not sure who is or isn't heading up from down here or passing Exeter but Duncan and I will be at Exeter services ready TO LEAVE at 1130. At the Petrol garage at the top of the services.
Then stopping at Total Triumph for 1200, for coffee and possibly a bacon roll then on to the funeral from there, only 10 minutes up the road from there.

I like this forecast better than any of mine. It'll be interesting to see which of them is nearest to the truth. I hope it's this one!

hope it all goes well today. Unfortunately i'll be down in Paignton up to my elbows in nastiness.

Hope it all goes well. I'll be revving the tits off my hire bike in La Palma in memory of the old sod. Good luck with the weather

Sadly I won’t be able make it today, but I’ll be sure to raise a glass to Roy at lunchtime.
