hobot

If I understand correctly, things went sadly down hill for Steve in later years. So hopefully he is now at rest.

RIP Steve. You looked at the world differently and thereby brightened it for many.

Thanks for letting us know Jerry.

RIP Steve.

Yep, I will be among many to miss him.
He didn't have conventional ways of drilling holes, that's for sure!



RIP Steve.

Gratitude to the departed. Useful tutorial. It’s tricky to get the drill started in a chrome surface, sometimes.

One of my Gold Star pattern ones has been rattling like that for at least 24 years. I’ll now hear it as a sad toll for Mr Shiver.

Strange, there is no actual obituary.

Also a strange name for a funeral home...

VERY fitting. Hasta la vista, dude...

Likewise.. I was going to leave a message at the funeral home website, but smelled a (phishing) rat at that website. 👋🏻💨
 
God Bless Steve (Hobot) Shriver he was very good to me over many years … R.I.P. Steve , see ya soon
 
Farewell Steve (Hobot). Lucky to have met him and share some brews over the campfire at the NY Empire Rally back in 2011. Always helpful once you figured out his lingo. He was a one of a kind. Ar dheis Dè go raibh a anam.
 
Sad to hear of his passing, sometimes I had to read his posts twice to really understand them. But I always enjoyed them, he really loved his Nortons and loved to ride in the gravel sideways. R.I.P. Hobot
 
If I am not mistaken he preferred hobot to Hobot. I never fully understood all that he was saying, and didn't always finish the read, but I enjoyed the knowledge and the color. "Florida Man" gone Ozark. We miss you man, thank God Alan is with us.
 
I always enjoyed his "unique" approach and prose when he introduced a post or jumped in with his styled form of writing/participation.
Hope his next ride is a good one.
 
I had quite few messages from Steve over the years but its been sometime now since he went quiet from the site, I always enjoyed his threads, some hard to understand at first but he had a way of explaining things and doing things, but I like that in a strange way, I always wondered how he was going, he sort of went off in his own world when he lost his best mate, anyway RIP hobot (Steve).

I used to message him too
He was as mad as box of frogs but in a good way
After he lost his mate Wes and then loosing his foot in a weed wacker accident he went right down hill
He also told me him and his wife lived in the same house but led separate lives
He had started talking about selling up and buying a yacht to live on at one point
I miss him and his antics, there's not many like him
