He survived the crash put passed away in the Air Ambulance on route to Preston. I am absolutely gutted and cannot stop thinking about him - he was a great a lad and always happy.

Danny Mate - RIP.

Matt

so so sorry to hear that xxx really i am x my thoughts are with you

RIP.

Never good when this happens, but like someone else said he was doing something he loved when he died.

Not much comfort but its something.

My thoughts are with you and his family and friends, remember the good times x

R.I.P fella

Sorry to read he was a mate of yours Matt, I have been given some sketchy secondhand details but few facts so I cannot put them on a forum.


Blackburn Road where it happened is not a good bikers road. It is a utility road allowing traffic to get the heck out of Chorley without fighting the A6/M61 traffic design cockups. There is one idiot who lives on this stretch of road conducting a personal road safety campaign and I have to warn you will probably jump on this as more justification of his idiotic rants.

I am from Whittle but now live in Clayton, I know of Danny and so does my daughter who told me of Saturday of his death and was shocked.

I can give you know words of comfort for the loss of a mate. Beyond he was on his bike, something he loved to do.

RIP Danny

Thanks TimWilky, I too grew up in Whittle Le Woods and next month I am moving back to Clayton Le Woods after a 9yr gap. I have found out some more about the accident and also took a ride up about an hour ago to pay my respects at the scene. As you say its not for the Forum to speculate and give specifics - but looking at the markings its fairly clear what happened. His passing will be marked by many and also act as a reminder to the group he rode with the consequences of our 'sport'.

Hopefully get to meet some of you guys soon - I felt it wrong to mention but I picked up my new bike on Friday a CBR600 which I just fell in love with. Hopefully I can stay as part of the community as you all seem so friendly and helpful.

Rgds, Matt

Its gutting to read this thought to friends and family.
