Maybe a ride of remembrance somewhere too?
Good idea Clive, but don't forget some of us are here in SW Wales so anywhere close ish to Mid North Wales (an area he rode and knew well) I'd like to pay my respects so if Banksy can keep us all in the loop...

I think it only right and proper that the forum has a collection so that we can send some flowers to his family and also a wreath for his send off.

I hope I'm not being insensitive in posting this so soon after the tragic news but I feel it is important that we do something for one of our lost family.

I have asked Banksy to keep me informed about arrangements etc as I'm sure some of us would like to pay respects etc.

If you would like to contribute send me a PM and I will do it through my PayPal and will take it from there.

Maybe when a good few of us are together in Wales, we can do a ride round route in respect for him part of the way.. RIP. I'm stunned.. :cry:


Very sad day indeed Jazz

Nice idea Geo.........I am struggling to remove him from my thoughts right now, so I like the idea of posting our photos of him to remember.

I shall also put some money towards this. I shall pm you jazz. I know its a bit soon but of the family would allow I think it would be nice if as many of us can make it as possible attend the day, bikes or no bikes.

Only met him a few times but he was a really nice chap. Always had some good advice and he will be greatly missed by all though who know him a lot or a little. RIP Benny. My thoughts go out to his family and friends who knew him best and to whom it will affect the most!

If anyone gets the info for the 'arrangements' on the day, could you let us all know, some might be able to attend if they are close enough..

Anyone know his wife well enough or the family well enough to see what they think? Just an idea. we are in SW Wales but by god we'll have to do something on OP Storm in Wales in Sept!! He had just said last week he was sooo looking forward to Wales trip......
