Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....

Indeed...thoughts are with the nearest and dearest...
I refuse to enter into a battle of wits against someone who is unarmed.
It's better to remain silent and be thought of as a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.

I was afraid that was going to happen after seeing the video.
He was a nice guy. Rode for us in Phase One a few years ago and meet him again at Osch last year.
RIP Simon

Don't care who you are, how much you have, how powerful you are. You still sit on the toilet with your pants around your ankles. Yep, it's a level playing field..

Genuinely speechless. A massive loss.
I feel sick after seeing the video, I do not advise watching it.
Remember seeing him at the NEC with witham and thought what a real nice genuine guy.

There are calls now to have that video removed from the internet out of respect for his family
Sad loss, RIP Simon
