    Scoobes

    It is with great sadness that we have to report the death of one of the UK XS1100 club founder members Robbie Watson, known here as Scoobes.

    He made the difficult decision to leave his demons behind and will be sadly missed by those who met and knew him. His funeral is tomorrow (Tuesday)

    This is a sad time for the UK XS1100 club as we recently lost another founder member Brian Bennett known as Lamric here.

    I hope the pair of them are screaming around on XS1100's where ever they are.

    Didn't know Robbie, but I had talked to Brian on many occasions and he was a great guy!

      All of his stuff predates me. I trust he was a good lad if you say so Tom. Sorry to hear of the sad event, prayers go out to his family and friends.
      Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

      When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

        Once you un-can a can of worms, the only way to re-can them is with a bigger can.

          Condolences

          So sorry to hear of both of these sad losses. Please forward condolences to the UK XS group, and, if possible, to their families.
          Hill? What hill? I didn't see any hill! Why wasn't there a sign? And where are my keys?

                Thanks for the kind words lads

                Today a group of XSers attended what was a fantastic send off for Robbie, he'd written his own very humorous sermon/eulogy which was read out by a friend.

                Everyone got jelly tots for coming, typical Robbie, clown to the last.

                RIP my friend.
