R1 Alex

[SS427 Camaro]

Recently seen some superb videos of him from the early 2000s on a silver 2002/2003 5PW R1 at Beckton and then a blue 5VY R1 at the Ace Cafe & Nth Circular.
His bike control & rolling burn outs were just off the scale.
Anyone on here that knew him ?

[FWIW]

Anyone know what happened to him? How did he die?

Funnily enough, some Instagram vids showing the early 2000s bike scene has been hitting my feed over the last week and R1 Alex features heavily.

I remember him well as that's when I started riding and used to see him regularly at the Ace (Street Fighter Sundays especially), Chelsea Bridge and Bar Italia (vividly remember him giving the cops the slip). Yes, he was quite handy stunting on R1's and early 20s me used to be in awe as he certainly provided a lot of entertainment! However, he was, let's just say, not quite ever on the right side of the law (think FTP kind of attitude). I have a few stories but won't share them here.

He was killed in a collision with a car near Ongar just over a year back.

I remember him in the 00s when both us would do rolling burn outs and wheelies (he was more burnouts)

I think I still have an old mini dv cam recording of us at a local biker pub. This was all 20+ years ago. I only met him 2-3 times and then stopped road riding and never saw or heard about him again

This was until in the last year when it was well shared over social that he was killed commuting in London

Wild rider when we were in our 20s.
