One of the first things he said was "it's just a shame he's not here to see it"

He said later on that he wasn't sure how to feel about it but said Neil should be celebrated. Absolute top guy, had more than enough time for everyone there. I spoke to him again when I was packing the bike away and he said he's gonna come back next year with a film crew to make a film and wants to interview us all! Also asked him if he knew the correct parts and he said the bike was spot on apart from the parts I knew about which I will be hunting down when funds allow.

Will always remember that day...quality.

Christ... I knew about Pepe but not Neil  :(

Very sad.

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;

That was when he first saw the bike, he tilted his head to the side and said AAAWW and came round. He also said "it's a shame he's not around to see it"
Very surreal moment, excitement and sadness all at once.
