My thoughts are with you and yours in your time of grief.
You are right not to worry about being a few minutes late at the end, probably the best way.
Take Care.

Thanks again to all for the kind words and support. (it is appreciated) yes these last few days have been difficult (more so for my mum and sister) keeping busy organising, and sorting through things to do is helping at the moment. Life goes on and we are not dwelling on the fact too much at present. will possibly be different on thursday at the funeral, but we will cross that bridge when it arrives.

next drama....
my exhaust has blown bigtime between the headers and collector box
luckily i met a VN900 rider in the local parts place who had a son/nephew/family member who works at the Suburu centre who helpfully welded it up for me
the weld is so good it'll be the last thing left when the rest of the bike has rusted away
