Francis
To all the friends of Francis and those whose lives he has touched over the years, it is with great sadness that I have to inform you, that Francis sadly passed away on 10/05/23. After battling Cancer for two years, he finally went peacefully in his own home with those he loved around him.
RIP Francis - it was a pleasure to have known and ridden with you.

I am so sad to hear this. I have very fond memories of riding with Francis and sootysweep. Francis was one of the nicest people you could ever wish to meet.

Condolences to his family and friends...
These type threads remind us of the benefit of having meet & greets all around the world. Life is fleeting. When get-togethers happen, pictures let others share a little bit of the camaraderie...
Does anyone have a picture or two of Francis they can post?

Here're a couple:
That's at the Jail House Café At Adrenaline Motorcycles, near Ifield, in West Sussex.
That's at Finchingfield in Essex. |
