Keith Boxall - a tribute by Norman Flury
I’m sad to report that Keith Boxall has died aged 91.
When I joined the Eagles in 1949 with Helier Long, Colin Watson, the Mannerings and Battershills, Keith and Mary were leading members and Keith, Norman Ralph and Alan Gurr were our total trails section.
If I remember rightly, Keith competed on an Ex W.D. Ariel 350 rigid rear end and girder forks.
In those days motorcycle clubs were very social with wives at most club nights and weekend runs with family sidecars and Keith and Mary were always there.
Keith worked in the steel industry near Farningham for many years and became a very keen photographer amongst many other hobbies.
Keith and Mary had three sons, Mark, Paul and Dean who became keen on motorcycling and currently follow Moto GP at many events worldwide.
Alas, another Eagle has flown away.
