I am silent for some moments in memory of Terry...a man whose life stories captured my interest, whose humour never failed to bring a smile to my face and who was fun to ride with. Two wheels move the soul and I'll miss seeing his bronze Harley on the road. My condolences to the Cavanagh family!

I remember Terry as just a hair larger than life, and an example of what is possible when you don't limit yourself to someone else's idea of what you can be.
I am so sorry for your loss and my heart goes out to the family. Terry has a whole chapter in my book of memories. I loved him like a brother and I will never forget him. If there is a Harley Heaven, surely Terry is riding with a smile........
