Hi,
My father took his own life on Saturday 29th August 2020 at the young age of 57 years old.
Motorbikes were his passion and were a part of his life since 14. He was a member of this group and i’m not sure if anybody has heard of him but his name is Stephen Dykes and we are not sure of his site name but Sanyo rings a bell.
He was a paint sprayer and used to fix and refurbish bike parts for people on this site.
I was planning on getting some bikers to have a drive in memory of my dad so I was wondering if anybody on this site would be interested?
I live in Salford, Greater Manchester so if anybody local would be interested please contact me on. contact admin for number.
His favourite bikes were Honda CB250s and superdreams... He also had a cafe racer and a Yamaha (not sure of the model).
Thank you for taking the time to read this thread and I hope I can get this arranged for him.

Sam. I have just read this, and I am certain that everyone will be stunned to read it. So sorry for your loss. There are no words enough under such circumstances.

I was really hoping it wasn’t going to be Stevie, very very sad news, your father was a lovely man I just cant take it in. I would very much like to attend any event in his memory. My thoughts are with his family at this tragic time.

Just to echo Carl......what a nice man I thought he was too. I know we all say that when we learn of someone's passing but I truly mean it, I thought he was a gem. Such sad news.

It's always sad to hear of the passing of a fellow enthusiast.
May I suggest to the admins to remove or at least redact Sam's phone number, we all know the sort of people out there that would try take advantage here.
