Hi team,
                I lost a good mate yesterday to a motorcycle accident, he was a very experienced rider who crashed on the Esk-Hampton road, just proves we are human.

Ride safe everyone, just remember to ride safe

Wow!  That's close to home.
Sorry for all his nearest and dearest, and to you too, Streak, for your loss.
Very sobering to be reminded how this can happen to the best of us!

Guys, so sorry to hear that a friend has been lost in such tragic and unexpected circumstances, and well before his time.   You will gain strength and support from each other as you grieve for your friend and support his wider family.   You have my sincere condolences.

Well we had the most amazing funeral today.

it was more a celebration of Johns life than a funeral, there where still plenty of tears, over a 100 motorcycles plus plus people turned up to remember him.

Gathered at the cafe before we went in:







the guard of honour as John left the church
