But remember, sky-borne CB750s are totally original and have not one spot of corrosion  8).
RIP Ralph

Very sad news.

Only been a member for a short while, but in that time its obvious that he was and will continue to be a significant character.  Often had to read his posts more than once and found the advice stuck as a result !

A good reminder that life is precious, and some comfort that he found some pleasure from this forum and it's members.

I only knew "Bitsa" from his posts as I do check in daily to see what is happening so it was one heck of a shock that he had passed at such a relatively young age, my sincere condolences to his family.

Only just found this, and it's always a shock to see someone pass so long before their time.

RIP Bitsa.

I have just came across this post.
Thought I haven't seen his post for a while...

Hope he is enjoying wine and bikes in a better place.

As the saying goes,
Ride as fast as your guardian angel!

RIP Bitsa

Hi All
We received a Christmas card today from Jane, Ralph (Bitsa's) widow. She is getting on with life the best she can but is obviously still finding it difficult. I have sent her an email back and told her about the creation of 'Bitsa' Day, July 20th, I also told her that not many days go by on the forum without Bitsa's name being mentioned for some reason or another !! I'm waiting for a reply back to the email as it seems she is now living in Kefalonia, Greece but will confirm when I hear from her. I sent Christmas wishes and best regards from all on the SOHC forum.
