RIP.


It's always (to me anyways) seeing those VIP escorts without the sirens parting the traffic. Brilliant team work.

Cheers
Ben

Not nice.
Those guys are generally (from what i have seen) good bike drivers. If it can happen to them...

Just goes to show it can happen to the best of us although perhaps another reason why I prefer to spend less time doing life savers and more time looking forward.

RIP fella,

As Bluepete said, not always the most favourite of people, but still a biker all the same.

My condolences go to his family, wife and daughter.

RIP

The Bike Cops round here are a great bunch, always acknowledge us with a nod or a wave, and all of those we've met on various Bikesafe days have been a good bunch too.

We also ride pretty regularly with a couple of mates who also happen to be cops, and believe you me, when they are out with us they are just bikers, not coppers!
