HAPPY BITSA DAY
« on: July 20, 2018, 10:46:27 AM »
 3 years ago today our friend Bitsa died. Still very much missed by many forum members for one reason or another !!!. I  think Ralph planned to die on 20th July, Grahams Birthday as a way of him having the last laugh. Miss you Ralph.

Ahh Ralph. Happy Bitsa day indeed. Thought of him only yesterday (every time I change a spark plug on a 750 I say ‘Thanks Bitsa’ for the tool he sent me. Top lad.

Bitsa was a genuine bloke, said what he thought, and if you didn't like what he said, tough sh*t was his attitude. That said, I could not fault his honesty and straight talking, far too often in these modern times people are afraid to voice their true opinions and thoughts because of the sh*t that is Political correctness, Aussie comedian Kevin Wilson summed it up well, "If it's political, there's a fair chance it's not correct!" Anyway, happy Bitsa day, those who weren't around when Ralph was, you missed a legend, and Trig, you're a year older, so don't get too depressed! ;D ;D ;D

Sadly missed on this forum. I get a reminder everyday of him, every time i am in the office (pic).
Depressed Hairy, still not sure the meaning of that word, is it when you can't get your own way  :)

Good old boy.
I've learnt a lot from him and got myself in trouble more then once speaking my mind.  ;D

Only today did I say to someone at work nice house shame I've just painted it a revolting colour.
She looked at me as if she wanted to clout me and said I chose it.  :-[
