It with great sadness and regret that I must inform you that Tim Allen aka MarchRide has sadly passed away today.
A great guy who will be sadly missed.
No more foofs, no more proper tamping and no more J'Holas.
RIP Tim you will be missed.
Pegs down
I will let you know about his funeral arrangements.
-
Terribly saddened to hear this. RIP Tim
-
lost for words :-(
RIP Tim
-
Numb :( xx
-
Shock
Now at peace. Resting.
-
RIP mate.
-
Just seen this on Facebook truly awful news
-
can i please just add, dont put anything onto Tims facebook wall as a post, or use his full name on your posts, as it will show up on his wall, some of his family members are yet to be informed.
It was not a bike accident of any kind, Tim died suddenly but peacefully at home
RIP my lovely lovely friend, i will miss your grope-cuddles and those jumpers
-
Very sad and stunned to hear this. No more jumpers, no more V signs, no more moaning at people's grammar, no more un-PC asides.
Do you remember, one of the yorkie possie posted pictures of a foccers christmas dinner, men and women. Tim writes "Is it the camera or are you all fat?" :rollin
-

RIP Tim you was one in a million
-
Sad news indeed, RIP Tim.
-
Read this really sad news a few hours ago, still in a state of shock :(
RIP Tim, and thanks for the many laughs you've given us, you'll be greatly missed
-
Shocked - really difficult to believe.
Not seen Tim in a long time but have great memories from our early Fazer Forays into Europe.
RIP.
-
RIP Mate
-
Gutted..
My favourite question posed by Tim will always be ... "does she take it up the arse?" always delivered when least expected.
-
Sorry to hear this news, many good memories with Tim away on the French Foray's. RIP mate.
-
Gutted! he was a great guy and funny too.
rip mate
-
Shocked to hear this, for a long time Tim was Foc-U, his posts always made me chuckle and sometimes laugh out loud, the (sadly too few) times spent in his company are cherished memories now. RIP ya big lump o'sex xx
-
Another sad loss to the Foccers.
Pegs down mate.
-
Shocked to hear this sad news. He was a BIG FOC'R!
Rest In Peace Tim.
-
RIP Tim, you will be sadly missed pal, Foccers will not be the same without you :(
-
RIP mate, you were the first to pm me when i joined FOC-u and badgered me into meeting up at the Silver Ball all those years ago only to greet me when i arrived with a cheesy grin and a V sign. Oh how i'll miss having my kill switch flicked at traffic lights......i will admit to shedding a tear this morning.
-
Truly sad news RIP matey
-
Had to sign up again as could not remember my login deets....which took some time with slightly bleery eyes.
Marchride - named so after getting his bike in the march issue of Ride magazine, Tims imagination had no boundaries.... especially in terms of what is acceptable to say about a lady, in front of said lady if it would embarass her or people around her.
Mix this with his particular penchant towards jumpers of a festive, yet none christmas variety....he was most certainly a right character.
Around from my most early days at the club, my first ride out I think was his too, until Chalky and Eddie dragged him to the Silver Ball etc. Always found at most events...north/south/east and sometimes as west as the fountain inn...a true club regular and serial texter.
While not having seen him in a little while, my heart sank a little at seeing this news.
Tim, keep it rubber side down up there mate!
:foccersalute
-
Not a good start to the year... RIP Tim. A true foccer...
-
RIP Tim and may all your heavenly pussies be ginger.
-
Tis a sad day. Had many a good rip up with him. He'll leave many memories behind, especially of his jumpers. God help the angels
-
Sad news indeed, following on from the previous replies it will come as no surprise to hear me say that I was always glad to meet him at FOC-U and other events.
-
RIP Catalogue Man you poof your bungee has snapped too soon
-
You'll be remembered fondle-ly...... RIP old fruit.
-
To those who were there , just been watching the DVD with a tear or more in the eye . Happy times but now two less of the suspects around and that isnt so happy
-
Jules and I have spent the evening on and off reminiscing about Timbo. Reading this thread and the posts on his Facebook wall have brought a tear or two to our eyes but not from sadness.
Seeing the picture above from Gassit had us both laughing as that picture was the subject to much abuse and editing by members of FOC-U.
Tim - you will be missed fella :D
-
How many times did he get banned, he must have held the record :rollin
-
Oh I banned him at least 20 times personally :lol (I think the most anyone else had been banned was Ugg with about 3 times or the french flower....)
-
Very sad news indeed. Had many a good laugh with him, mostly at my expense.
-
Sad news. My condolences to all concerned.
-
sad news indeed, on the back of Driller too
RIP fella
-
very sad. He was a funny guy
-
RIP
-
RIP Tim x
-
RIP
-
The last text Tim sent me: "How the fuck are you, you old poof!..." :\
-
Never had a chance to meet you unfortunately Tim, RIP.
Pegs Down.

The last time I saw Tim was at the Fox in Finchingfield, blimey it seems like a lifetime ago. If he's up there watching he'll be having a laugh and taking the piss at me crying at my keyboard.
I want to say something to slag him off and make him laugh, but for some reason I can't.
I'll never forget coming out of the Comfort Cafe to find those tassles blu-tacked to the end of my Victory handlebars, and the comparison made with the pearly-queen mustachio'd leather clad Harley rider that was parked up nearby.
The world has just become that little bit sadder and duller without you mate. God bless, and my condolences to Tim's family. If our loss feels like this, I can't imagine what they are going through.
RIP Dude.
PS Does anyone know if Lum knows?
-
PS Does anyone know if Lum knows?
Yes, he's posted on facebook
-
didn't know the guy but sorry to hear all the same.
look young how old was he?
-
I never met Tim, but it's a dammed shame for anyone to die at a fairly young age, my thoughts are with his family at this time.
-
RIP mate, you were the first to pm me when i joined FOC-u and badgered me into meeting up at the Silver Ball all those years ago only to greet me when i arrived with a cheesy grin and a V sign. Oh how i'll miss having my kill switch flicked at traffic lights......i will admit to shedding a tear this morning.
Pete, your experience was so similar to mine. I reckon it must have been ten or twelve years ago, I turned up one evening at the Silver Ball as a newbie, never met anyone in the group before. Walked in, looked and felt a bit awkward - the way you do - and Tim looked up from his conversation mid-sentence and said: "You Brian? Welcome mate, I'm Tim. Marchride. I'll introduce you to the others. This is Robin.... Gareth..." etc etc.
A top bloke, incredibly drol sense of humour, so easy to get to know and one of only two or three Foccers whose contact number I am proud to have in my phone.
Sad news indeed.

I remember that Brain and if memory serves me right when he introduced Robin he added "he's a Poof" :rollin :rollin :rollin typical Timness!
Those Silver Ball meets where always a joy and Tim was an essential part. Like many of us I've been remembering all those Tim moments over the last few days and love him or hate him (lets be honest he wasn't everyone's cup of tea) he was a one off and I'll miss him :'(
Who else sends you a txt saying "how are you, you f%*king poof" Priceless!

.
A one off Foccer, never see his like again I don't think.
-
I posted on Tim's Facebook wall, however, am doing so here for foccing prosperity.
First met Tim after buying a Fazer and joining in with the foc-u shenanigans circa 2004. Shared many a joke and laugh with him at at his/my expense. Like Wits before him, Tim was a one off. A regular at the Frolic, Bourton on the Water, Rutland and at the 3 Dare events I organised. I last saw him in 2012 when we met for Sunday lunch with a few other foccers. He will be missed but never forgotten.
Farewell me old sausage. :(

Kev, you're halfway there. If I recall correctly, what Tim actually said was: "You can tell just by looking at him, he's a poof..."

-
This is my first visit since the turn of the year and I'm saddened by this news.
-

-
We had a good ride out on Sunday for him. Still missing the old spunk trumpet
-
OMG I've just seen this as I don't get on here often. Shocked, he was a fantastic guy and a lovable rogue. So sad. The angels better watch out because he'll be grabbing their arses. RIP mate xx
