Deepest sympathy mate. Sad The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.

I'm really sorry to hear that.

I've lost a couple of close mates under similar circumstances (one died on a motorbike, the other survived a horriffic motorbike accident only to die in a car crash several months later). One of the lads from the bike club is serverly injured from a 130mph accident, and now has very little quality of life left even though he's still "alive".

They say "time heals" but I still miss them, even several years on....

Hang in there mate. Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)

Sorry to hear that mate.

I've lost two mates this year. One to the big C and another on a bike - puts things in perspective.

Motorbikes. It's only a matter of time. It's why I won't do my licence and why my sister is brain damaged.

That sucks kid, no words will make it better. Remember the good times with him.
