Too right, my thoughts go out to his family.

Been a long time since I posted on KB, thought this was worth a mention.

Fuck I just drove past this, thought I could see a bike but wasn't certain. It's just around the corner from my work and there are multiple police cars there and about 4 streets blocked off.

This is devastating for those of us that knew him, and I'm sure for many that didn't.

I would say to keep him in your prayers, but he'd probably give me a slap for doing that. Rest in peace then.

Ah fuck it turns out it was a mate of mine, and many many others. You'll be missed bro.

He was a true friend and mentor to me. I hold much respect for him. I may be in Japan right now, but my mind is far from here. Goodbye friend

I so happened to pass through the acco site just after it happened, and seen it all, its funny how you just know it was someone ya know.
