5 years since the baron passed away.

Thought I’d share a short article I put together to commemorate the passing of Bren (The Baron) five years to this day.
Always have good memories of crazy times.

Thank you

Stayed at Sliders in 2007 - rode the ring, watched the World Cup Rugby and ate pizza. It was memorable.

RIP Bren.

Was at the ring recently and the fond memories of Sliders etc. came up in conversation with someone who’d not been there before. Was a nice opportunity to talk about Brendan, I’ll pass them your piece to read as well. Thank you.

I stayed at Sliders without being a biker and knowing much about Brendan at all and we had a great few days there. The hospitality to everyone was amazing and I did a few laps around the ring with him, some him driving and some me with him coaching, both were unforgettable experiences. The missus had a memorable lap squashed between two bikers in the back of their Mk3 Golf that Brendan was piloting around, there was quite a lot of lean she said! :-)

One of life's memorable characters and it still saddens me to think of the nature of his passing. Cheers Brendan.

Sounds like a life well lived.

Thanks for the reminder. Bren and Suz were A*. The dogs were gentle giants!

I'll always cherish the time I spent with Bren and Suze at Sliders.

Both taken far too soon.

RIP.

I didn’t realise Suze had passed away too. How tragically sad it all is.

I just wished I could have been able to stay at Sliders, but it was not to be.

RIP Bren

Sadly yes. Suz took her own life a number of years prior to Brens passing. My wife and I was with Bren when he got the news about Suz. Sad times indeed!

[Rene Souffle]

Oh god, that’s so incredibly sad.

I wasn't aware of his fate and just googled his tragic demise. It seems as though the Big Man didn't want him to leave his spiritual home at the Nordschleife. So sad and also about his wife.

I stayed at Sliders 2 or 3 times from 2006-2009 with a bunch of people with same cars on a tour that took in the Ring .
Brendan was always laid back and welcoming .
Seeing that photo in the Comfy corner ,3 of those friends are pictured ,I was also there 1 or 2 days before he passed but I was just passing through and didn't stay the night .
R.I.P. dude .
