Steve’s funeral was last week. Sadly he succumbed to injuries received when a Tesla turned in front of him whilst on his much loved Morini 3 1/2 in Essex.
He wore an open face crash helmet & goggles. I won’t go into the details, however if he had been wearing a decent full face helmet he would likely be here today.
You may think you look cool in an open face lid & goggles, but think again…..

A very sad end to what sounds like a preventable outcome.

I don’t really know why open face helmets haven’t been made illegal,there must have been a mountain of research done on their effectiveness versus a full face helmet.

Very sad to hear for all involved.

Motorcycling can be dangerous and we must all take the appropriate amount of care. However, we must all be careful of judging others choices lest our own choices be judged. The safest motorcycle is one you are unable to ride at all!

Very sad to hear. It’s been a bad summer so far in East Anglia. Three motorcyclists were killed last week in Cambridgeshire in separate incidents. Not a lot of details but one involved a car driver on drugs and the other two seem to be “smidsy”

I feel the same, the thought of sliding down the road on my face just has no appeal

Dreadful news.

Can't even let the soil start to settle on the poor guys grave before you get in there slagging off how he chose to live his life and enjoy his motorcycling.

What on earth makes you think that this is the time or the place for such comment

RIP Steve, I hope none of your friends or family are unfortunate enough to read this thread.
