He certainly was a character, RIP Jimmy.
Jimmy
Jimmy was a good friend and someone I am infinitely better for having known.
His passion for biking was infectious and undiminished. Still clocking-up the miles and trying to get to 300,000km on the Basic by the end of the year, though earlier Covid restriction to travel and a bit of ill-health had made it a bit of a challenge but he was out and about trying to get there.
I followed many gravelly roads and boreens with him over the years - as did many others who knew him - and it was a pleasure to be out finding the roads less travelled. His knowledge of the roads was unequalled.
His willingness to fix your bike, or rescue you when stranded a few hundred kms from home and then fix it with a smile - after he gave you an earful - was one of Jimmy's endearing characteristics.
I will miss him.
I will add a few more photos in him memory as he navigates to new waypoints we have not been to yet.

Well done Charles, you have paid Jimmy a fitting tribute
Charles you did him proud .
sad to hear that
might have seemed grumpy but you spoke to him and he wasnt
usually only saw him at pr dinners
this was a regular thing
Some nice photos Pat
Well done to bogman/Cha for arranging the bike escort. I didn’t get to count them but there must have been 50+ bikes & what an eclectic mix ! A fitting tribute. Can someone post the videos please….
And well done to GerryC for a fine eulogy which perfectly captured the spirit of the man
I'm glad he got a good turn out - it shows appreciation and the regard for the man and his vast contribution to riding a Bike in Ireland.
To those that were there - Thank You. Sorry we couldn't make it.

Gardai did a great job keeping the route open through roundabouts and lights.
