Just to let everyone know in the biker community that there will be a celebration for Mike at the dirtyO Feb3rd, here's the link. www.novascotiabikers.com/mikeroach.html www.novascotiabikers.com/ He has been a local icon for thirty years in the motorcycle industry with custom bikes and a big heart to those in need. Many of us new him one way or another and respected him as a very talanted fabricator, builder. Helped me dragracing for years as I wear his image on my helmet. This is going to be a big party, get your tickets early. Dave |

This is a very sad day, my condolences to Marlene, Colin, Derek and family. Mike was really looking forward to his party and was saving the drug for that, he new all of us in the biker community better than we knew ourselves and gave everyone a second chance at anything he could help you with. I know he's somewhere up there building and tuning fuel bikes with Elmer and all. He met a lot of great people over the years and would share his stories with anyone who would listen. As Mike would say about himself, I'm just a guy who loved motorcycles and meeting people who enjoyed the same. To be able to follow his passion and still build and support so many people in his business was quite remarkable, he will surely be missed. God bless you Mike.
