Just been told by his brother that he died last night.

His brothers told me to let people know.

He was well known across many a forum for his V-logging, Camera/Gadget reviews, and Geocaching (He just got me into this and tagged him in my first find yesterday to let him know Sad )

It's a sad loss, and my heart goes out to his family.

Sorry to hear, he sounded very popular..

Sure you won't give the details? People think I watch/find out about crashes for morbid reasons but I do it to learn the mistakes..and hope I don't make the same ones.

EDIT: Sorry to make it look like I'd assumed he made a mistake. If he hadnt there's little to learn it's bad luck :/

That's a shocker.

He struck me as a really decent bloke when I met him at the BBQ in 2010.
My sympathies to his family.

Shame, seemed like a nice bloke, spoke to him a few times.

Not to keen on not telling us the circumstances of his death however, I highly doubt he'd be the type to have minded.

Real shame though, rest in peace matey and I'm sure you can Vlog about the big man in the sky. Thumbs Up!

No way, quite liked his vlogs. He said he was having an op on his leg mid January so could be linked to that.

RIP Sad

Yeah, but it was about Luke last time, and I don't think that Sven attracts the same kind of shenanigans.

Terribly sad news to hear of anyone passing, much more so when it's a person who has put so much into their passion for bikes.

RIP Steve.

His vids, especially uploading ride vids of the lanes in Kent and Sussex, have been really useful. Thoughts are with his family and friends Thumbs Up

That's horrible to hear. I have been watching his videos for years and you really feel like you get to know someone when they v-log.

Condolences to his family.
