Jamie - LOL - a quick glance suggests 6.5 front x 8 rear - proper niche 🙂

Hi Chris
Nigel here from t'other side of the hill. I've only just seen this thread.
I was wondering why I hadn't seen you in the Riverhead/New Inn for a while. Now I know.
Positive thoughts and all that from me to you and Sharon
Nigel
Bonus is it is metallic red so it is, of course, faster than anything else on the pavement!
Oh you think so do you? 🙂

I've seen it.
It's pimpin'...
Good to hear how positive you are about this Chris. It must be incredibly difficult to deal with all this shit. I very much doubt i'd be as strong as you appear to be in the same situation. Chapeau.
I had my first 'spin' in a mobility scooter earlier in the week. Met red too! A lady drove it in to get the tyres inflated and oh boy, what fun!
This size of wheel, valve length and the amount of air that can escape when trying to unscrew whatever pump connection you can get onto it... will keep you occupied for weeks! Does it have a canopy?
I've just noticed the smoke at the back of that one in the pic above. It must be a still from that guys YouTube channel where he put's turbo's and jet engines on anything he can lay his hands on! Worth a look.
Late to the thread, read it from start to here, speechless really nothing much more I can add to what these wonderful folk have already said. This place can be so harsh yet so full of all the essential goodness of humanity and all I can do is echo their sentiment, having experienced a couple of really good friends in similar circumstances, I am stricken by the apparent futility of it all, keep your chin up, I am sure having read about you that your strength of character will carry you through, I most certainly am humbled by your approach, my thoughts and prayers are with you, have a blast on that scooter..
Rest In Peace Chris, you were a brave man. I only hope I have the courage you did.
Ah God no. Glad he kept his character and sense of humour through such a dark time.
**** me. He went downhill fast if true, RIP. Short time on this planet guys, make the most of what you have.
Sadly this is for real

My gorgeous husband Chris died today and let's be honest, it's just plain shit. But, and please take comfort in this, he got home from hospital yesterday and we had a lovely day and a chilled out evening with Team Turner all being back together.
I don't think anyone quite realised how much energy Chris had put into keeping going recently and getting himself home and this morning I think he decided he didn't have the energy to go on and stayed asleep. He was very peaceful, not in any pain and most importantly where he wanted to be.
It's way too early for his life to have ended but it ended well and he didn't suffer.
At first he couldn't understand why so many people were so bothered about him and so desperate to help but eventually I got it through to him that so many people loved him …. because he was him and he deserved it.
Thank you for all the messages of support - I'm just going to have a bit of quiet time but I promise to call and ask if I need anything x x
I knew Chris thanks to this forum and I'm so glad I did, I'm a better person for what he brought to the world. A light has gone out. RIP
That's so sad. 🙁 Glad he was where he wanted to be, with who he wanted to be with, and his passing was peaceful.
Rest in Peace, Chris. I didn't know him (at all) - but he was evidently a deeply courageous man.
🙁
Bollocks. I can't add anything more than Pondo and may others have already said.
I only knew you through this forum Chris but I'm sure you were a top chap. All my best wishes to Sharon and the family.
Filled up reading that Jules.
Such a short time. Utterly shit. 😥
🙁 remember reading this thread at the start and now to find this out is terrible. 🙁 🙁
🙁Bollocks.
This. 🙁
So very sorry to read this news. Chris was someone i really admired . All the best during this tragic time
Such sad news.
Thoughts are with his family.
Just read all this for the first time. I am tearing up and refusing to put the lounge lights on as a result.
What courage, I hope all involved are now at peace.
Agreed Jimmy. Keep yer family and friends close folks, you never know when they'll be gone....
Only found out about the sad passing of Chris last night whilst in Marsden. I was lucky enough to meet him, and although it was in a professional basis, as we had chosen him to be our wedding photographer, as soon as he found out we were into bikes that was it. We hit it off fantastically, he was a genuinely great guy and was always smiling. My heart sunk when he emailed us saying he would have to pull out of shooting our wedding due to his illness, I wasn't bothered about the wedding, just how awful it was for him. We did however get to do a small pre wedding shoot with him around Marsden and we have several of these photo's on our wall at home. Each time I look at these I think of Chris and what a great guy he was and how cruel the world can be. He'll forever have a lasting legacy in our house as we'll keep these photo's for the rest of our lives.
RIP Chris.
