Post subject: Goodbye Yoffi..............
Today on a ride out, sadly Yoffi,s luck run out. He was killed in a accident with a lorry. Details are still a bit
sketchy, suffice to say irrelevent at this time.
I will miss you mate... My heart goes out to his wife and two young children, who will never know what a great
guy he was..........

The greatest Buelligan in the world lost his life today. I love him like a brother and he will leave a huge hole in
our lives. We were blessed to be able to call him one of our best mates.
He and Suz stayed with us last weekend and we had the most fabulous of times, such a laugh and we were
planning his 40th birthday next year.

Our love and thoughts are with you Suz, Ethan and Josh. I can't begin to imagine what you are going through but we are and always will be here for you Honey.
Yoffie, you will live forever in the hearts of those whose lives you touched.
Goodbye my darling,

There is a very big hole in Buelldom, never to be filled again by someone as large a character as our boy Yoffi.
Responsible for so much enthusiasm, shared by so many. How many of us would be riding Buells and sharing
this friendship if it wasn't for him?
Always willing to go so far above and beyond for his friends.

Our thoughts go out to Suzi, JJ and Ethan, no words can come close.
A good friend lost.

Couldn't believe the news today in Lincolnshire - what an enormous blow.
He sent me a text the other week asking if I was ready for a new Buell - and like so many on here its down to
Yoffi that I have my city x in the first place. Can't imagine DG 20 or this forum without him
My sincere condolences go to his family and close friends who I know will be legion - was a pleasure to meet
you Yoffi.

I am a better person for having known him, the enthusiasm and generosity of the man was amazing, always
laughing is how I shall remember him......He helped me out a lot this past week, much as he has done in the
Vote
past, I still find it hard to believe that one of lifes really, really good guys is no longer with us.
My thoughts really are with his wife and kids at this time......
Just tragic.

Rest In Peace Yoffi. I'm sure you were looking down on us today and I'm hope you're on your way to the great
hunting grounds where no more sleep is needed and no pain is felt. I will miss you very much. I'm sure you
would want us to remember you for the good to the core and absolutely barking mad man you were. You were
so full of life, an inspiration to us all.

Jesus fuckin' christ, I can't believe that such a bloody decent bloke as Darren is gone
He sold me my current bike and made the transaction an absolute pleasure, he even personally delivered the
bike to my home at Worthing so it would be ready for me when I got back from Normandy.
It's true what they say, it's always the nice guys that get the shitty end of the stick. Rest in Peace my friend.

My condolences go to the familly who have lost more than we can ever understand.

Couldn't believe the the news we were greeted with this morning....
Darren was such a nice guy - DG20 won't be same without him.
He would probably have ridden back South with us this evening.........
My condolences go to his family.

Steve (Ursus Americanus) has just let me know about Yoffi today.
I just don't know what to say, other than i never had the fortune to meet and talk to him in person, but I know
the world of Buell and particularly UKbeg will be not be the same with out him.
RIP Yoffi, my condolences to your family and friends.

Never felt able to post on these condolence type threads in the past but have thought of little else today. Yoffi
was definitely not a corporate man but he was a great friend and ally of anyone who has ever posted on this
forum. He wasn't frightened to stir people up, he would go out of his way to help total strangers if they had a
problem, he was straight talking, wildly enthusiastic and just wanted life to be fun.
That's the way it was for him today right up to the end where I'm sure he had one of those "Oh shit!" moments

Far too young to leave us and he'll be greatly missed but it's Susie and her young family
who need our support.
If there's anything I can do, just call. So long, Darren, it was good to know you
Steve

Only been to Southhampton once in my life, and it rained! Found the shop and called in for a dry~out and
coffee. I ended up meeting one of lifes rich characters. Yoffi. An hour and a half later, dried by his warmth,
laughter & conversation, I left the shop with a smile on my face for the rest of my journey. Wot a wonderful
chap.
I'm sure that I'm not the only one that's had this experience. He will be sadly, sadly missed.
All our thaughts and support go out to his family, and sadness to those that never had the pleasure of meeting
him.

Just got the word out here in Nevada. To say that the Buell UK team is stunned is an understatement
As we all know Darren was totally Buell passionate and his joie de vivre helped motivate a lot of us into the
Buell riding world- always ready to help anyone with a ride, free coffee and burger- he was so Buell- free
thinking and independent sprited.
This place (world), this site and our Dealership is going to be a whole lot emptier without Yoffi around.
The only solace is that he was doing what he loved, with people he classed as close friends when he met his
untimely end. It probably would have entirely been the way that he would have wanted to go!
How do you replace him??? You cant!!
Our thought are with his wife, children , Julie and the rest of the family. I will take the responsibility of passing
this sad news onto Erik.

Visiting Yoffi at DG20 has always been a high point of our UK trips (for Monti and myself). The world is an
emptier place without him.

Terrible news.
I never spoke to Yoffi, but remember he was always a friendly generous guy and was prepared to help anyone.
Obviously liked and respected by everyone
My memory of Yoffi is last years Em's do. Yoffi arrived in the pouring rain emptying half a cup full of water out
of each glove with a huge grin on his face.
RIP

The thing for me is that Darren's enthusiasm got so many people onto all sorts of bikes, not just HDs and Buells
that I feel it would be disrespectful to get off them. Personal thoughts and I wouldn't want them to force others
either way, but that's where my feelings are at the moment.

The air ambulance pilot was talking to a few of us before he left and told us he was a biker too. He lost his
brother in a bike accident a few years ago. He still rides, despite having to attend bike accidents; some with a
sad outcome. His attitude is that life is no rehearsal and you have got to do the things in life that you enjoy,
just take as much care as possible.
I can't think of much else today, I did not get to know Yoffi, but thoughts are with his family.
I have the utmost admiration for Steve, the motorists and others at the scene who did all they could.

I have only just seen this thread and am as everyone stunned. It seemed only yesterday that he was setting up
my suspension in the shop before my ride back to Spain. That was 2006 and he has spent many times helping
me on the phone since.
I met him again in April this year at DG20 where he took pics of the 1125R & my HP2 sport and where we were
going for a "long" test ride - Darren on the BMW & me on the Buell - unfortuneatly I didn´t have the time. My

Real heartfelt thoughts go to Yoffi's family and the indescribable pain they must be going through now. Yoffi
went doing something he loved. Although I had never met him, I feel as tho I knew him from his many posts on
here, and feel truly honoured to have been riding with him at the end. Rest in peace, Yoffi.

Although I’ve only met him a few times in person. I’d like to think I knew him through this site, his generosity
and dedication to his friends and customers. His great sense of humour.
It will truly be a great loss for us all. My deepest condolences to his family and close friends.

Quite!
Darren is hugely responsible for getting Monti to feel comfortable with "bikes" and "bikers". Did far more to
encourage her than I ever managed. And no doubt at all that he rekindled my enthusiasm for simply enjoying
being on 2 wheels.
I fully expected a "stop please" message when I told Monti - quite the opposite happened. It's still not sunk in I think it may take some time.

Darren aka Yoffi... Master Embassador for Buelldom, mate was just leaving to visit Alsion when she phoned me
with the news.
Sick to the stomach but stilled jumped on the X1 you sold to me, I now carry you and Ewan (carbon filter cover)
with me on my exploits. You were a top Geezer, some one that a lot of stealers should have cloned, A real
passion for Buells and Life.
You always looked after your punters many who became friends.
Will miss your lively banter, funny texts, that kept me going on shyt dayz.
Sproudfest will not be the same this year.
Deepest sympathy to your wife and family and friends.
Words will never say all that I feel right now.
Ride free, keep a place for me on the twisties in the sky.

I have to say my blood's run cold and I am close to tears.
I never met Darren, but we did try to deliver him some Cornish clotted cream, homemade jam and Scones on a
Buell, a couple of years ago.
What a passionate biker. Another one gone.

A BIKERS PRAYER:
MAY THE SUN RISE IN FRONT OF ME
MAY THE RAIN FALL BEHIND ME AND THE WIND FOLLOW ME
MAY THE ANGELS OF MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE ME GUARD MY TRAVELS
FOR THEY KNOW THE PERILS OF THE ROAD AHEAD OF ME
KEEP ME SAFE THROUGH THE ROUGH CITY STREETS
ON MY WAY TO THE LAND OF SWIRLING TURNS AND ROLLING HILLS
LET THE COLOURS OF FALL KEEP ME WARM
LET THE EAGLE GUIDE ME TO THE MOUNTAINTOPS
LET THE MOONS LIGHT GUIDE ME THROUGH THE NIGHT
MAY MY TYRES NOT FAIL ME
NOR MY ENGINE GROW OLD
MAY MY BIKE DRAW LIFE FROM THE STREAMS I PASS
KEEP MY SEAT SOFT AND MY MIND SHARP
LET THE AIR OF SPRING BREATHE LIFE INTO MY SOUL
TO JOURNEY TO ANOTHER ADVENTURE BESIDE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
R.I.P. Darren

guys, its Sunday and I had to think twice about taking a ride out today on the Buell that my dear friend Yoffi
sold me, "Dunno" and I went out for a blast and all I could think about was the Yoffi and his jokes etc... feeling
a little better today, thought twice about never riding again but then I felt a slap and Yoffi saying "not a chance
mate...." in that superb southern voice.
I would like to drop by the crash site to pay some respect and drop off some flowers, dont really want to ask but
I guess I should, where did it happen?
Being "hindu / indian", we beleive in the after life, his will be very special....

There is a statement posted by the door to notify customers of what has happened and a request not to bother
staff with unnecessary questions.
A fair point, I think. We must remember that this is going to be a shock for them, too.
I would not have wanted to be the person opening up the shop this morning, that's for sure.

I have never met Darren but like many was looking forward to meeting him on Saturday and although I had
never met him I fealt like I knew him from all the posts on here and from PM's etc.
Only been back an hour and got tears in my eyes reading this and couldn't stop thinking about it coming back
up the road.
My condolences to his Wife and Kids and everyone that was close to him.
R.I.P. Darren.

totally agree van and soph. Darren was DG20. As far as I am concerned Darren made DG20 into the most
respected Buell dealership there is. Without him, DG20 will just become another HD outlet. There is no one
there who had Darren's passion for the Buell and there is not likely to be one again ever.
Still can't believe it. Used to pop into DG20 a good couple of times a week to see him. Can't think of a reason to
go there now, specially since the coffee is shit too and Buell gatherings at DG20 will probably fade now as the
star has gone.

Don't know what to write or say, in tears now trying to type, a tragic loss of a true gentleman.
The daft thing is I have never actually met the guy. Exchanged loads of messages and spoken on the phone, his
character, helpfulness and love for life always shone through. Was so looking forward to meeting him at
'Deliverance' and having a natter over a beer or ten.
Adam, the fact that Deliverance is still on as a tribute and celebration is fantastic, will see you and everyone
else there...

He was, wasn't he, Adam. Been thinking about it today (I've been thinking about little else) and all I can think
of is good times and the most helpful person I know. For instance, Yoffster riding from Brands to the shop and
back to grab some bits for one of the Belgian Buellers, someone he'd never met before but he did it without a
second thought.

I was thinking about that as well, although I must admit it felt selfish and very negative.

DG20 was the place to go for a natter, in a way that TV HD/B, Warrs etc never have been.
Who's Online
that are online.
Even without the open days and dyno runs, many was the time I'd drop down for a brew and a game of pool,
knowing there'd be a couple of Buellers down there to gas with.

The kids got an extra hug last night and they'll get another in a few minutes.
God Speed, Yoffi, Love You Loads to Suzi, Josh & Ethan.

The first post I ever read on this forum was by Yoffi.
Can't remember the post at all, but I do remember seeing that bloody stupid avatar he used to have and
thinking it was hysterically funny, then immediately felt right at home here, comfortable with the other nutters
that make up ukbeg.
10 pages of condolences later I see that Yoffi had the same effect on just about everyone else too.

We spent the afternoon with Susie, the boys, Darren's and Susie's parents, all totally distraught and still in
shock but holding strong. Thank you to everyone for respecting her privacy during this devastating time
Susie is aware of this thread and would like to express her deepest thanks for all the offers of support and kind
words. When she is ready she will read them all herself.

At the moment the funeral arrangements are still being discussed however Susie has asked that as many people
as possible attend with the one stipulation that no dark colours are worn underneath biking gear. In her words
"that is how Darren would want it"
As soon as I have any more details about the funeral arrangements I will post an update.
RIP Darren, you are already missed.

Thanks for the update Ron, I cant begin to imagine what Susie and her family are going through, please pass on

As for a funeral, the send off will be massive I am sure.

OMFG! I've just seen this, and I really cannot believe it.
I only met the guy once, but he was a bloody great bloke, and a laugh.
He made me feel really welcome on my first visit to DG20.
I'm so sorry to hear of this, and my thoughts go out to his family and his many friends.
This news has made me very sad, and very tearful.
Bye Yoffs.

I had read many of his posts.
I guess the one that sticks with me is when he chased a nerdoowell who had nicked a Sat Nav from the van, in
a Shelby Mustang across a field................ I laughed for days
The point is..............his spirit lives and will always, as long as there are those to remember him.

I rode back home today and without realising I would,came across the spot where it happened and saw the
guys about to lay the flowers.
I pulled in to say hello with the whole scene being replayed again in my mind,they asked if I'd like to lay the
flowers with them but I didn't feel like I should as it was their tribute (on behalf of us all I believe) and they
knew him way better than I did-I only met him yesterday morning as we were preparing to leave BB and didn't
have a chance to introduce myself-I didn't know his face to put a name to.
It was also rather raw still and I'm not sure I could have handled it to be honest,I waited with the bikes 'til they
came back and had a quick chat before heading off.
My thoughts are with his family and friends-Rain God,take it easy mate.
My belief is that he went doing something which made him truely happy.
Yoffi-Ride In Peace,see you in the next place.
(If I can make the funeral I'll be wearing my loudest BBQ shirt.)

When I first met Yoffi I though his personality was part of his salespitch. I soon realized he was a good sales
man and character because of his personality.

One of life's larger than life characters that always went well out of his way to help. The number of mentions in
dispatches on this forum testify to that.
R.I.P. Darren I'd like to show my respects at the funeral if possible but don't think I will be on the surface til
about the 6th August.

I was stunned when the news came through at East Kirby and even tho I didnt know him, from a few pm's
when I was considering the new 1125R his enthusiasm for Buells and I suppose life was apparent. I couldn't
stop thinking about the circumstances of the crash all the way home - third in a line of six (not lead rider), not
speeding (apparently wagon driver confirmed to police "non of them were speeding"), very experienced rider dare I suggest bike (major!) malfunction?

recalls and his is currently in the shop. Please believe I am not trying to deflect thoughts from a thread paying
our respects to a great guy but I honestly have thinking about this non-stop since I got the news on Saturday.
Can it just be simple bad luck?
It is just too tragic for words and my sincerest thoughts and condolences go to his wife and (thankfully) young
children.
RIP Darren.

I had been at East Kirkby from about 11:15am, milling around looking at a sea of faces I didn't know - not
approaching anyone to introduce myself (I'm not good at these kind of things). I guess about an hour later I
saw a face I knew arrive, Att (who I had met on a ride to Le Touquet earlier this year) took off his lid and was
crying (I'm sure he won't mind me saying that). He said "I can't believe Yoffi's gone". As I hadn't spoken to
anyone I had no knowledge of anything happening. I asked him what he meant (he must've thought I was a
complete twat), and he clarified that Yoffi had been killed. I was stunned into silence, I didn't know what to say.

As a family man myself I can identify very strongly with the difficulties his family are now facing (although I'm
clearly not trying to say that I know how they feel, I can only begin to imagine that). For what it's worth, my
thoughts are with Yoffi's wife and children, and with his friends too...

I visit DG20 half a dozen times a year, everytime I arrived the first kind, friendly, helpful face was Darrens. He
had time to help me set up my suspension even when he was flat out and had an enthusiasm for bikes that
made me want to be like him. I feel robbed that I only managed to have one ride out with him.
My thoughts are with his family.

5th gear galling on the clutch shaft due to lack of lubrication. This condition can allow the gear to seize to the
shaft, resulting in rear wheel lock-up. This could result in a crash, which could cause injury or death to the rider.

This is extremely serious and should brought to the attention of the crash investigators. If the gearbox is still
intact it should be stripped and checked. Sorry once again for bringing it up on this thread but now my sorrow
has turned to anger!

He put a post about the forcewinder sock that i needed and said i could have it for free - very nice guy and top
bloke. I cannot believe that the next day he was tragically taken.......thoughts go out to all those that knew
him, clearly he will be missed by many.

All the staff at Dockgate are completely and utterly stunned by the loss of Darren. He was the life and soul of
any party and kept us all smiling whatever was going on.
All of our thoughts are with his family. We will endeavour to let everyone now about arrangements etc as and

To clear up any rumours, the Police have informed Darren's family that it was a'no fault' accident and that
Darren was in fact going below the speed limit.

For those who did not read the prom thread, in true Buelligan fashion we rode straight past a line of posh limo's
right up to the front door and not content with just riding past and que jumping the well organised event Darren
and other Buellers
revved up their engines and lit up their back tyres resulting in hundreds of pounds of posh
frocks to get well and truely smoked. The looks we were getting, naughty buellers.
Darren shook hands with the lad and wished him good luck before we all roared off leaving the poor lad in shock
and awe
. The prom was for Norwood school in Lymington and this is their short vid. (bikes a few seconds
in the middle).

If I thought for one moment that Yoffies bike (which I don't think had be recalled - he told me on Friday he was
waiting for parts) had caused the accident, then believe me, I'd be on the case. The problem was only known to
occur at high speed and from what I can gather, the Police have discounted this. Sadly, it looks like like wrong
place, wrong time and there by the grace of God go us all.

Well...as I promised I have today met with Erik over here at the Summer Dealer Meeting.
Bad news had beaten me to it and as we discussed Yoffi, Erik just kept repeating that he couldnt believe it and
that he had just been taking care of something for Yoffi (that he had specially asked for) just a few days ago.
Along with all the tears that have been shed here, we shed ours (which would have sort of really pxxxsd Darren
off I am sure as now doubt he would have said, FFS get a grip!)

Erik talked to me about how Darren had a real passion for the company and his bikes and that he feels so bad
when a life is lost on one of the bikes that carries his name and was designed by him- he feels that personally.
He views every Buell rider as part of his family.

The grief turned to smiles though when I said that no doubt The Man upstairs had work the Yoffmeister to do
and that no doubt, he would be giving those angels a Sxxxload of grief getting that Burger van organised!

He will be missed by more people than I think he realised.

Nice one Alan, that would have made him chuckle,

Erik is right when he says we are an extended family. Hell, I talk to you lot way more I do my real family.
