Tales On Two Wheels
A Sad Announcement
By m@Robertson on May 21, 2025
Hello, loyal readers and bike enthusiasts:
My name is Dani Robertson, and I am Matt's daughter. I've only just now been able to access my father's beloved website, and I come with the news that my father passed away suddenly but peacefully on 02/12/2025. Through Facebook connections or other social media, you may have already discovered this. For those of you that did not, I'm sorry. In words that I know my father would appreciate: this ()&(^)(&() not worthy.
I hope that, very soon, a close friend of my father's and fellow enthusiast Cody will be taking over ownership of this site and keeping it alive. I know that this is a community that Dad would hate so see disappear.
We love you, pappy, and but your wisdom and humor lives on in many places, including here.

I hope I am wrong, (it was an email from Matts daughter),
I just got in from (all day long 9Am to 5pm) a VA/DR appts in Reno,
and I am kind'a rum dumb from all of it, + 4+ hrs if driving, to and from.
Tia,
Don

Hi Don
Which Matt is this ?
Is this Insanity (Matt) the moderator?
-
Tom... not sure who this is yet but I know it's not Insanity Matt... his daughter would be way too young.
-
This is an announcement by his daughter in his website [Tale of Two Wheels]
-
As always, sad news indeed but, who is this? Does he have a GTA screen name? Does he have a website?
Please pardon my ignorance.
-
Yup, his website is:
https://talesontwowheels.com
-
Who was he on the GTA? I wouldn't know him from the cycling community because I don't own/ride a bike.
-
"I don't own/ride a bike."
I own and ride bicycles - but it is sort of like the difference between springer airguns and PCPs - I don't do electric bicycles - and that seems to be what Matt was into. No help here.

Searching the members list for Matt Robertson produced nothing; maybe Robertson is Dani's married name. Searching for Matt produced 3 pages of usernames that include Matt or matt. Unless someone has some insight, it seems that we have no idea who this is.
Nvrealoader, why did you get an email from Dani? Did you have some connection with Matt, showing up in his contacts list so she would send you a message along with everyone else?
-
I believe he's the member with a red motorcycle as his avatar. From NY, I believe.

The link Mike posted takes you to his website but that's no help seeing who he was on the GTA.

I was thinking of the wrong member. The one I was thinking of is named Bob.

Hey guys,
I screwed up,
I posted the above information on the wrong site,
it belonged on the EBR site,
sorry for the confusion.
Mods you can removed my post, if you so wish.
Matt was a close friend of mine, he'll be missed... :(

Don, sorry to hear you lost a close friend.
Your job now is to miss him and remember the good times.

Thanks Mike
I have already added several of Matt's idea's to all my bikes, and they work perfectly.
Just good old fashion common and a understanding of what was/is needed.
I can tell you, his mini camera set up has made it safer to ride on the local county roads
it's funny just adding a helmet camera, plus a forward/backward facing camera's
and the drivers give the safe room to ride, on the roads around here..
