Tim Davies 1962 - 2007

Tim was a member of the Devon Highwaymen riders. He had a cruiser style machine followed by a Triumph America. There was more polish on those bikes than you could imagine.  If there was a world shortage of bike polish Tim caused it.

His last ride was with me (Colin) and Dave Cann. Tim turned up at Marsh Barton cafe and said lets go to Weymouth despite being very ill with cancer. We stopped in Weymouth and Tim devoured fish and chips before having a smoke. We sat on a bench on Weymouth sea front while Tim looked out to sea. (wonder what he was thinking) 

On the way back we stopped at Bridport so Tim could have a rest, again we stopped at Honiton where Tim had a coffee and another smoke. Tim was feeling very tired but did not want to give up despite Dave and myself helping him up from the tree trunk he was sat on. Sadly for Tim it was his last ride out with us. Tim died in August 2007. 13 motorbikes followed the hearse to the crematorium. 

He enjoyed motorbikes until the end.

Tim was known for saying more than two cars parked in a country lane was a doggin site. Being unable to say three words without swearing and giving everyone one nicknames. We won't mention the crumbs on the floor where he sat and ate in work.
