Met him for the first and last time at the Abingdon DJ ride a few weeks ago, and now he's gone He may have fecked up a few times on the forum but when i first met him, it was great, i thought he was someone else 'cos i hadn't seen him before, then when he said he was Beau i was like oh my god you Was rather funny as following pic will show , made me laugh loads and generally was such a legend, majorly talented rider too Ride in peace mate, i'll never forget you.

NVWOCI WVS Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 News like this really brings home how delicate life is. He clearly had a lot ahead of him too, it's a real shame this happened, but I suppose it really makes you realise you've got to make the most of everyday. Really genuinely sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with those who were close to him and his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Kearns Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 We could do both?

Nick Manning Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I've just heard about this, and like alot of rider's found it hard to believe. I met him on a ride a few years ago in Bristol. A very talented rider, with very little fear. Real nice guy, such a shame that this has happened. RIP Beau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duck Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) WHAT? Christ! Thats insane. I can't believe that! I was talking to him at the DJ ride. He was so sort of... there? He had a real presence where ever he was. Makes no sense what so ever. When was that, two weeks ago? And now hes gone. Can't get my head round it at all. Thoughts go out to his family and friends. RIP Beau. Edit: Still shocked. Sick feeling... Edited June 21, 2008 by Quackers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Pearson Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Me and Prawn have just been talking about this for the last hour on the phone, and its really hit us hard thinking about how people must feel (us having lost Oli Lewis, a good friend to both of us, especially to prawn, at the end of last year) and its just such a sad waste. I can only sum up Beau's life in recent times by saying that he wasn't a bad person, just someone who made a few wrong choices in how he acted, but certainly, COMPLETELY and utterly, never ever, deserving to end his life this way, and definately not this early. I am still feeling kind of numb about it all. I am just so sorry. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duck Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I'd really like to come to his funeral? If his family want to keep it small/private, of course, thats absolutely fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinold Posted June 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) Grant Hundley on Reinolds account again. Thanks for all the comments, have told his family about this topic and they seemed to appreciate it Have txt Beau's sister to ask if she or her family would mind if trials riders came. Will keep you guys updated. EDIT: His family want any of his friends that would like to, to come. xx Edited June 21, 2008 by Reinold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
