It is with much regret that I advise the KB community of the death of

Barry Senn.

Barry died doing what he loved, off road riding, Barry a long time member of the Pukekohe motorcycle Club, was invloved in a serious accident while practising at the Harrisville moto x track on saturday the 25th of March, sadly Barry did not recover and passed away at 2.00pm Sunday the 26th of March.

Barry loved all bikes, but in particular the older moto x type, he had some lovingly restored old moto cross bikes, an excellent rider, devoted family man.

Barry ran a thriving Radiator repair shop, anything from D8 Catapillar radiators
to tiny motor cylce radiators, he was a wizz at fixing them all.

Over the years Barry was a sponsored rider and then himself became a generous supporter of off road motorcycling.

Barry's tragic loss will leave a big gap in the off road motrcycling community.


RIP Barry Senn.

The Funeral is at Wesley Church in Pukekohe at 1.30pm on Wednesday the 29th of March.

Sad ta hear another great biker has left this mortal plane.
May he find the hidden pathways,
Riding the lease travelled ways.
His life may be ended,
But his legion will live on.
Ride forever free Barry.

My thoughts go out to all close to him. Most racers love what they do but never want to die doing it. They know the impact it has on fellow racers. My thoughts go out to all friends and family.
