I got many a grin out of Sam.Some had him down as a bullshitter,who had a story for every occasion.Straight off,i saw him as a well travelled man,with a tale to tell.He had more dignity,while dying,than i ever expect to.

I remember him well, and used to always enjoy his posts. He's the kind of guy I would have love to have met in person.

Yeah Silent Sam was a good one. I enjoyed reading some of his stories and we had hoped to meet but just didn't happen. Yeah miss him on here.

You and I met our B/S artist match in Sam. What a wordsmith and multitalented. My ultimate bike adventure would've been to meet up with you two and either travel cross country here or Australia, or Europe. I do miss him, he could string a post a mile long. There are many happy memories of reading his posts after work and thinking of witty comments to encourage another from him. Not that he needed it. He just had to be a riot to hang around. His final days were burned into my memory. It was like he accepted it as if it was like he was going on a trip. He kept us updated on his condition as it was coming closer to the end. He even got to the point where he knew he couldn't post and he had a family member to take over there. He cared about us that much. I haven't thought about him in quite a while. I have found memories and I miss him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A very well travelled,and interesting man.He had so much variety in his life experiences,that he had a story to go with pretty much any comment that was posted.Some on here called him a bullshitter,and a fantasist,probably because thier own lives had been so ordinary.I could tell right away that he was genuine,and immediately liked him.He was a good man,and i too would loved to have spent some time with him.
Heres to Sam. Hey Mike,when my old man finally gets planted,you and me are going to take that ride mate.

When I think of Sam, I always hear this in the background.
I often thought about how we all view the world and everything in it. Sam obviously lived it. Keep on cruising Sam, hopefully we will all meet you on the horizon. R.I.P.

I'm looking forward to it my friend. I want the old man to hang around for a bit longer. It'll give you something to do and keep you out of trouble. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well try not drinking till you're blitzed out of your bloody gourd sometimes when you're in there and it won't be so dangerous. Damn, I gotta tell him everything!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
