Happy 'Bitsa' day everyone. 2 years ago today Ralph died having lost his battle with Cancer. For those new to the forum, read through some of his old posts to get a glimpse of why he is missed so much. He was one if the grumpiest and argumentative chaps on the forum but had a huge heart and would help anyone if he could.
Miss you loads Ralph.

Oddly enough I was in the middle of writing a similar post when your post came in. Yes indeed, 2 long years without our Bitsa, if he's watching down on us, we miss you mate, will never be forgotten by us longer term members, and so often we hear of people's problems with pattern parts! ;D Your posts and humour, while not to everyones taste always bring a smile to my face, and remembering a certain numpty that took offence and left, priceless! ;D ;D ;D Ride free buddy, and Happy Birthday to Trigger as well ;D ;D ;D ;D

You don't know what your missing Hairy
There's no better buzz then walking over to the bike at the end of a work day 100miles from home not knowing weather it will start.

Love it.  ;D

Or if the weather is damp or misty if you'll even find a bike or a corroded lump of ally surrounded by rust powder!
