Sorry to hear the sad news of Bruce`s demise, I only met him a couple of times but he was one of the biking worlds characters.... He will be sorely missed.

I only met Bruce on 2 occasions and only had one good (long) chat with him. But as others have said he's not the kind of guy you forget.(I couldn't believe anyone could be so relaxed about truly offensive music polluting the air at Llanthony)
He wouldn't remember me, but I'll remember him.

Heard the news whilst away for the weekend.  Very sad but privileged to have met him on a number of occasions, something of a legend !  Not sure about the jokes though............

Bye, Bruce.

Richard.

RIP Bruce

I only met you twice, but will not forget.  You were a special man.

What utterly shocking and sad news. Bruce was simply an inspiration. What excuse can there be for not getting out and about on whatever bike you have running when Bruce was going to roll up the Norton regardless of weather, time of year and be his usual chilled out, happy self (with some truely bad joke ready to go). He will be missed.

Unfortunately I'll be travelling back from our charity run late Thurs/early Fri so I wont have time to get back down to Shropshire.  :( Best wishes to all who go, I hope it's a great turn out to send him off.
