He had a good turn out and we gave him a noisy send off in style.

After most had left, Jeff and I were chatting in the carpark, a Kestrel attempted a landing on top of the crem chimney. Probably feeling the heat, he hastily flapped and made off. "Still ruffling feathers" said Jeff and we smiled... Fare thee well Capo..

A long day in the saddle but worth it to be there today, Utopias thoughts summed Capo up best for me as spoken at the service. Although his blood line and the memories of Capo will remain his depth of knowledge will be lost, it’s depth certainly had me bamboozled at times.
RIP Stewart and thank you for your support over the years.

Yep, I think we done him ok.
I counted eleven bikes in all, plus the sidecar outfit bedecked in red gladioli.
And hopefully we also carried with us the thoughts of those who couldn't make it.
I know he would have been touched.
He was a soft old bugger inside.

Hello Everyone,

Thank you so so much for coming yesterday, you did him proud! The town came to standstill and we even had a police escort at one point! I know Dad would have the biggest grin on his face looking down on it all.

I hope you don't mind, but here's a few pictures from yesterday...

Wow ... sorry not been on here for a while and was sincerely sad to hear the news about Capo ... we never met but our paths crossed on numerous posts on here over the years.

My condolences to his family and friends from me here in France
