I only Rode with James a couple of times and I have only joined this forum to pay my respects and too thank two special young ladies from Frankston. I am sure they know who they are.
I remember last year riding with James and his brother, James came off pretty hard he got up and brushed himself off, I checked him over, for injuries and told him that he may have broken his ankle. James said it’s a great day for a ride and kept going all day, he had in fact chipped a bone in his ankle from memory. But from that time, I respected a true Aussie bloke who just got straight back on the horse/Bike.
James was a true Gentleman and I will miss him.
My condolences and respect go to the family.
Dave, Jane Michael and Phil
