Didn't know where to put this... Gone but not forgotten, Fizzy... he was a boy...

Found this when looking through for another pic. This was at Rockingham where Fizzy (Brendan) was being chased on his GSXR750 by Mrs Weeksy on her ZX6R and the 2 of them had a proper ding-dong all day. I don't think Mrs Weeksy will have any embarassment if i say Fizzy won that day and she couldn;t quite match him.

We had some epic days with Fizzy, Steve and Dave N. The most memorable though being this Rockingham day where Fizzy struggled in session 1 with his brakes, we then checked the calipers and found he had NO pad material at all... just none... I was absolutely creased up when i saw them, we shot down the road to Kawasaki store and bought new pads... it was a revelation to him ! The transformation from the morning to the afternoon, it was comical.

Top fella and i still think about him at times, always fondly.

He was fab. I often remember him on the mountain, partly cos me and some friends has a celebration of life up here for him, when I couldn't get back for the funeral, that involved a LOT of Genepi and a LOT of laughs. We were sat on a mountain in the clouds - reminding me of the clouds of vape smoke that normally surrounded him!!. I miss him. We sat chatting at Pembrey with another friend of mine one Friday evening and had a really good evening

These two photos make me laugh and that day is one of my funniest memories of him -

the socket set before Fizzy picked it up



Fizzy replacing all the sockets after he'd picked up the set and tipped them all on the ground!!

He was indeed a real character

Lots of memorable times with him, one of those was the night before this pic (which is the Friday on the Pembrey 2018 TRC weekend) was taken.
Just he and I stayed in a tiny pub (Red Lion I think?) in the village of Pembrey itself that evening, we walked in there, Fizzy with his shorts, grey socks and Jesus sandals on, and there were just half a dozen locals sitting chatting at the bar.
It went totally silent when we walked in, and was like that scene in An American Werewolf in London- everyone staring at us and Fizzy completely oblivious.
He of course was pretty much oblivious of most things going on around him most of the time and could only really talk with one volume level, which is FUCKING LOUD!!, even when he's whispering, so was an interesting evening spent with all the other people just staring at us for the whole night



Anyway, very sadly gone but definitely never forgotten - Stelvio!

I have very fond memories of Fizzy from the Pembrey track days; in particular his insightful but amusing view of the world, the homebrew vape cloud & that smile like in Tricky's photo.

His - shall we say - enthusiastic overtaking methods in my group on track also spring to mind!

What a shame. What a waste.

I remember him coming past our van on his GSXR on the M4 heading home. Fucking awful conditions ,but with a grin on his face.
I often think of him when I see people vaping, he'd like completely disappear for a couple of seconds, totally enveloped in smoke / vape / etc.
RIP Dude x

That sums it up for me, a tragic waste

Remember that, it was so wet it was dead dodgy in the van, let alone on a bike.
And yeah, I had a conversation (well, being honest it was more him talking at me) with him about the science of vaping and his rig - the vaping equivalent of Moss's mobile phone , and a dedicated " zero-ohm-er"

For such a troubled soul the only times i ever saw him he was always smiling and laughing ....... you never know whats going on away from everyone else

As has been said above, what a tragic waste of a good bloke
