    Gutted to have just read this,he was a great guy ,always had a smile around the paddock and would stop and talk to anyone. Will to win and our thoughts are of course with his family and friends.
    I remember when he did pillion rides around brands last year on a honda gold wing radio full on and knee down with a pillion on the back!

    Devastating news, especially when earlier news of him coming off life support sounded more positive. RIP Simon :(

    Navvy I hope you don't mind but with the sad passing of Simon I have removed the video in your first post due to the current circumstances.

    I hope you don't mind

    His dad said it well! Died doing what he was passionate about and loved, that's true racing spirit

    The father of motorcyclist Simon Andrews says that his family have been left heartbroken by the rider's death following his crash at Saturday's North West 200.

    "Simon loved motorcycle racing and he loved coming to the North West 200," said his father Stuart, after the rider's death at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast.

    "He wouldn't have changed anything even if we had tried to stop him."

    I don't want to cause any offence mate, he was an awesome rider and glad that the thread is seen as a tribute to his life and love for racing :)

    My thoughts are with everyone especially on here that choose to race knowing the risks are high and the rewards even higher. Maximum respect to anyone that races
