Well fekk me, the guy needs hanging doesn't he. Because people will only assume its the bikers fault. Real bad news guys but that driver needs shooting

Dave was a top bloke have worked in Plymouth for 2 years about to leave on Wed and this happened, so glad to see this thread and this web-site. Have rode bikes for a long time but the community spirit at Jaspers is amazing thats why Dave was so well known and will remembered. Wish I'd of known him longer as he had a way with words that only Dave had, god bless,gone but not forgotte Dave.

I taught Dave to ride all those years ago and shared many coffees and dits since and always had a soft spot for him. He was a consistantly lovely man and I'm deeply sad at his passing.

goodbye lovely
