Me too.

It was only the other day on NWB he posted something titled "dropped the blade"

Link to a pic was a shaving blade on the floor.

I am hoping he will pop up here and tell us this was a stupid joke.

I am absolutely gutted about this. Such sad sad news.

I have met him quite a few times on rides in the North West. He is a really genuine bloke, and a really nice guy.

I am shocked. I will not be able to sleep tonight.

Thoughts with his family. RIP Martin.

Same here i feel sick thinking about it,

i knew he rode like a demon from being out with him when he had the SP2 but you never ever expect this just points and bans

Such a loss :(

I'm completely shocked. He had been so helpful and generous. I never thanked him for these exhausts cans I just bought off him. :( My thoughts are with his family. R.I.P Martin

Jesus, a man of wisdom, humour - warm and genuine, always had a word of advice, a sense of humour - and time for you.

Bugger.

My deepest condolences to his family. Count me in if there's anything needing doing...

It's always tough to loose one of your own, even though I am one of the new guys and really didn't know him. RIP

wombles! He phoned me to take the piss when I came off. You don't know just what I'd give to be able to do the same right now. :(

I am truly gutted and devastated to hear about this. :(

Martin was a friend to anyone he met and has touched the hearts of many bikers on and offline. RIP matey :(
