I met Simon at our Local 1 ABATE meeting where he gave a presentation of some of his journey.
He wanted to visit the famous Rock Store and hoped to meet Jay Leno (Tonight Show)there. So one Sunday he rode to my home and my son and another ABATE member came by and we were going to enjoy a ride to the Rock Store.
Well! Guess where Simon's motorcycle broke down? In my drive way. We tried fix it but the alternator had burned out.
So, we ordered a pizza and had a few beers instead.
Simon we will miss you. I looked forward to receiving the email updates from his journey.
Ride free Simon.

One of thye trueest and most genuine bikers i ever met has started his last ride. Besides from beeing a warm hearted and very socialy moved person, Simon has also been one of the fierced fighters of riders rights in Europe. He has done more for European biking than most people will ever know and i sincerely hope that he will be well rewarded for his endless efforts. Ride that golden bike through the skies my friend, forever free !

I am so sorry to hear about this. I only met Simon a few times but the honesty and sincerity of the man shone through.
My thoughts are with his family and close friends.

We simply don't know what to think or say.
A cold, unbelievable shock. Shaking heads.
It can't be. Not Simon. NO ! It can't be.
He was almost home................... !
We admired his stamina in the toughest parts of Africa.
The way he crossed these kinds of stretches, with an unrivaled amount of flegma. His natural talent for interacting with people, socializing, smiling his way through hard situations, and his long travelling experience. Warm, interested, caring, laughing. We could just see it happening when reading about it.
And now, it all just stopped.
Like that.
Full STOP.
.
We wish Simon's family and friends LOADS of love and warmth and closeness now.
Many people have known Simon, and many love him.
Iris and Trui
