Title: Happy 'Bitsa' Day
Post by: Nurse Julie on July 20, 2019, 05:37:26 PM: For those new to the forum, today is 'Bitsa' Day. 4 years ago today, Ralph died, and he is still very much missed. An argumentative, pig headed, grumpy bastard but a diamond at heart. Never forgotten.

And for any members that didn't know Bitsa, fit pattern parts and they failed early or didn't work, he would just call you a fool (sometimes much worse!) and laugh at you for wasting time and money, miss you Ralph.

Still amuses me that his two bikes only had one registration between them ;D
