Condolences to benny's family and friends. Never had the pleasure of meeting him but from all the message left he clearly was a shining light is everyone's lives. Big loss to all, R.I.P fella

I'm currently in Greece at the moment on holiday, got a phone call from Daz last night from the North West Bikers forum to inform me of this tragic news. As some of you may know Martin was also a personal friend of mine and known also by the rest of my family, he was more than just a forum friend. We rode a lot together and had some fantastic times.
Myself, Adam and Sue are devastated to lose such a good friend. I don't know what else to say, its a total shock.

RIP Martin

I had an accident on my Storm a few years ago whilst out with Benny in the Dales. Front tyre slipped on a right hand bend and I went down. Luckily wasn't too fast and with it being a right hander, didn't go across the oncoming side of the road. Benny was a star that day, fixed my bike up for me so I could ride home. He cut a piece of barbed wire fence up from some poor farmer's field and used the wire to hold together my rear brake and rear set so I could just about rest my foot on it

One reason I always feel more nervous on left handers is that if this sort of thing happens, you end up going across oncoming traffic. By the looks of it, this happened on a left hander, though the news report just says collision with the barrier.

This is just tragic though, I can't concentrate on anything at work for thinking about him.

I remember when marmite dropped his on the cat and fiddle run last year .
Benny was a champ so willing to help
We have lost a real diamond and I for one will miss his banter

The report says about a pillion, do we know if they were a relative or friend cause my thoughts are with them, they have lost someone they loved or cared for and suffering injury as well.

[banksy]

Pillion was a girl off the nwb forum.
She has 2 broken legs and some other injuries but will recover ok

[bazza696]

thank god she will survive, it's bad enough with news of Benny but to have lost two people.
