Very impressive turnout I'm sure Martin appreciated the send off and enjoyed the sound of all them bikes. The Number plate on the coffin was a nice touch.

Thanks for posting Seb.

All I can do is echo what has already been said. I would put more but it has been a very hard couple of days both physical and emotional.

But one think I want say that I'm proud to a member of a forum like ours and part of the biking community when you see the turn out today,

Thanks to our hosts again for looking after us love ya to bits and was an instrumental part of being able to come up and send my friend off.

And thanks to Dianne and family for making us feel welcome, was nice chatting at the wake, keep us up to date with where the pikey comment comes from.

I went, and I'm glad I did-it was a great way to say goodbye.
Thanks to all those who came along,
It's always good to be in the company of friends, despite the sad reason for us all to be there.

I think we managed to do the right thing.

And to those who couldn't make it- you were there in spirit, your thoughts and expressions of condolence were appreciated by family and those of us that represented you.

I am proud to be part of this forum, and the people who make it what it is.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Great sentiment's echoed by many Tony.

Thanks to everyone that represented all of us at today's farewell to Benny (Martin)

although i couldn't be there in person, i was there in spirit, and as strange as it sounds, the fact that my bike was there, felt like a little piece of me and carl was there to say goodbye to a friend. this might be the cerveza's talking but i'm a very proud member of this forum tonight, i haven't got the words to express how proud i am of my fellow members that have helped bennys family in their time of need. once a biker always a biker...... :thumbup:
