His sidekick Andy Pegg and I are looking to organise something. His funeral is going to be extremely private (not his doing; his family are a tad eccentric, shall we say) and so we want to have a memorial event of some sort. We have to clear his workshop out, catalogue everything and list a load of stuff for auction, which is going to be incredibly hard to to do, but it’s what he wanted. Then we’ll see how best to celebrate him. I’ll keep people informed.

Sounds good to me - best of luck with the workshop clear out though. That's going to be a hell of a task all right. I know there's a Teesdale built 1988 Fisher Mt Tam hanging in the rafters that I would be happy to rehome ;)
I'm up to my neck in stuff ATM (kids, trying to setup a business etc.) but shoot me a PM if you want and I'll see if I can help with anything as well.

Absolutely gutted today. I knew Mike well, mostly as he had to keep sending me replacement bits to keep our yellow 8 Freights going.
I had been meaning to get in touch with him for ages - I owed him some cash for a hydraulic kickstand prop but it was always a bugger to pay him, as he only accepted cheques or hard cash..lol.
Having had a daughter a couple of years back and been waylaid by this and lockdown I had no idea he was ill. After all, this is the man who broke his tibia in his mid seventies and was back on a bike in a matter of weeks!
Would anybody be up for a Burrows Memorial ride? It would be rad seeing Ratcatchers, Windcheetahs, 8F's, TCR's and everything in between!
