Well known for his love of off-road riding based out of Pattaya and the last few riding seasons at Baan Ricky Kanchanaburi.

Genuine bloke that loved his riding.. The business side always came a distant second.
A number of times I asked Alan to give me some coaching and ride around Saiyokyai together..

Always at the end of the weekend he would never take any money and say you are a friend..
Beers it was. We spent a great new year together at Baan Ricky last year..

A few trip reports I can find below that Alan was instrumental in making happen..

Oh my, what shocking and sad news to hear that Alan has passed away- I was so looking forward to riding with him again. He was kind and generous to a fault and will be missed :cry:

^ A heartwarming article, thank you for sharing. I'd have never guessed Alan was 53!

Ricky of Baan Ricky organized a service for Alan yesterday up at Baan Ricky in Sai Yoke Yai. It was a very touching service to remember Alan and the good times we had with him up in Kanchanaburi. I also got to meet his window, it was very sad... Here is a snap of the memorial...

Harry just bumped this picture from a fun weekend with Alan last year. I hope he won't mind if I share it here:

None given.. Ignoring the Thai rumour mill.. Take 2+2 and get 24.

I believe he had a heart attack but its not confirmed .

in the last 4 years have seen a few pals shuffle off from Cancer, strokes and heart attacks in their mid forties and early fifties ....most appeared in good health , but one never knows ......

Let's not speculate fellas.
Best leave the families wishes to privacy on the matter intact.

Thanks
