    Anyone heard anything from vvtr lately? Been speaking with someone off another forum about someone who had fun and games with mce and an sp1/2 which ended up with them giving him a blade, and has made the local papers for a sad reason. He's not been on lately and wondered if it could be the same person.

    Very sad to report that Martin passed away on sunday. I cannot share any information other than it was a bike related incident and a police investigation is underway.

    My deepest condolences go out to his family and freinds.

    Sadly that does confirm that me and the other lad were on about the same person. :( Never met him but he made me laugh a few times on here, and by all accounts was a top bloke.

    It's such sad news its things like this happening that I am thinking of stopping riding on the roads and just doing track days
    there are too many dangers out there on the roads as well as the police.

    This has put a lump in my throat - myself and Craig did the kebab run with Martin just 2 weeks ago now -

    I am posting this as how I'll try and remember Martin from the one time I met him properly - talking about food and ordering his much loved kebab!

    Obviously we don't know what happened but the tragic end result will not change - I just hope the pillion is able to recover from the serious injuries and not least the terrible shock of being involved in a fatal RTA

    [​IMG]

    If anyone would prefer it removed I understand - please send me a message and will edit post

    Ironically he was telling myself and Craig about the loss of one of his mates who is now remembered with a picnic bench up at the Cat and Fiddle pub

    Very low here thinking of my other biking mates I've lost in the past

    Think it's a great post al. Nice one.

    Personally didn't know the chap, but seemed like a lovely fella and thoughts go to his family.

    Strange how I feel genuinely upset about this sad news but never even met him, just shows what a great little cumminty we have on here.

    Rest easy Martin.
