gone but never forgotten

Post by tickertyboo »

it is with a heavy heart i need to let you all know on wednesday 21st this month my good friend mr Erik Garland know here as ninja Erik was killed on silk mills road.
this is truly horrid but i can say he was riding my bike with a big grin on his face and giggles in his heart doing the thing we all love so much.
the driver off the taxi has been charged with reckless and dangerious driving .
safe riding to you all as we all know its the old addage remember the other driver is probably not a biker !!

R.I.P Erik loved for always missed for ever x :(
