    This thanks is for @Boothman for the person he is. You may have noticed i have been quite recently having some personal family matters. I let it go to him for no other reason than i wanted to talk to someone and hijacked one of his mails. He came straight to my aid and helped me through my problem well my personal sadness. Some thing i want to keep quite for now as not ready to talk about it. But he has been with me and supported me in every way. I just want to say thankyou and let you all know what a true Gentleman he is.

    @Dawsy Yes i am fine. But i can talk about it more now. I lost my Brother. He was still at home in Northern Ireland and we were very close all through our childhoods and in later life. He was around sixty five and apparently caught pneumonia. And i know there are people with worse affections than i. But to come to the point i sort of Hijacked @Boothman conversation. Don't know why but he came to my aid and was a true gent and yes helped me a lot.

    This was my Brother. He was a biker for a little time but gave up to raise a family. Forgive me as this is not Bike related it just helps me a little. jzga0wa9.png

    It's ok to grieve in your own way. You are lucky to have sympathetic folks on this site.
    So sorry about losing a close family member unexpectedly. It must be a stunner for you and the rest of his family. I'm sure that your family's mutual support is so valuable at this time.

    Grief is a personal feeling but it helps knowing others are there for you. Respect to you Joe and all yours.

    Thanks mate. As said i went to Bibury two days ago to the classic car hub. My Brother loved restoring old cars not that prestigious but it made me smile and the ride on the bike was enlightening and help me clear my head. Here are the pictures i promised. If only i had the money guess what i would have here.
