Ok banksy. I can respect that. Thanks.

R.I.P. Benny. Never actually met you in person, but spoke to you a few times online. Sad loss, such a fantastic bloke.

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

This is very sad news indeed. My condolences go out to his family and friends.

RIP Benny,

Chris.

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

Very very sad news indeed.

My thoughts are with his family & friends.

A true Gentleman to all who knew him.

A great loss to us all.

R.I.P. Benny.

Mac.

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.

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

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