Vale Ralph Green
Sad news.
I'd just like to pass on to those who knew Ralph Green through Horizons that he died yesterday after a long illness.
He was active in the local Horizons community in Melbourne especially at the start, regularly holding BBQs and drinks to support or introduce people to overland motorcycle travel. He sold his R100GS aka 'The purple schwinhundt' just before becoming ill in Peru and it is probably still languishing somewhere in South America probably with its owner using the output shaft bearing puller I leant him to fix the gearbox again.
Until he became ill he would always host travellers and help service their bikes in his garage, or help sort out the crating of bikes for the next leg of the journeys they were undertaking.
He also organised some small bikes to do medical outreach through out the poorer regions in Northern Argentina.
Those requiring further details about the funeral and so on can reach me through the PM on this board.
In desmodromica veritas.
