The injustice of it all....

[Blackbird]

Condolences for everyone's loss. You take good care of yourself Paul. It's ok to shout and rage and cry in equal measure mate.

Paul, my sympathy for the loss of your friend.
I know this may sound a little wierd but, try writing down all the memories of him that you can, you might be pleasantly surprised at how much your mood improves.

RIP Bernard. Thinking of you, Paul

Condolances Paul, to you and Bernard's family and friends.

Rest in Peace Bernard.

Fuck mate that sucks big time.
I just went through this with a mate about 2 weeks ago. I found the only thing that helped me was put jump on the bike, go somewhere quiet and swear abuse at the heavens.
Hope you move on with life and remember the good things about him.

I found the only thing that helped me was put jump on the bike, go somewhere quiet and swear abuse at the heavens..

Funny you should say that... ;-)

Sunday we took the 1970 TR6C 'cos it was classic club ride day and even though the forecast was dire Bernard loved the classics and knew it was me 'cos of the bike...

Kinda rough - riding away from his place in the rain. The inside of my helmet was a bit damp for some reason... Damn! Put in an appearance on the club thing but shot away early and we took the long way home through the hills, wet roads, windy and cold but with Vicki snugged up behind and our faithful 'C' beneath us we eased the kinks from our souls as we flowed through the bends and explored numbers bigger than usual on the tach....

Not fast by todays modern standards but exciting on mossy bends all the same...

Finally, when we were drained and tired, we headed home with straw coloured headers and calm minds. Some days - it really does take more than one tank of gas to set your head straight eh!.....

Hard days...
