Yeah, she was a brave wee thing. A great send off for Joe, must have been 200+ bikes on escort duty

Very proud to have been a part of today's celebration of Joe's life, heard between 250-280 bikes in attendance. What a great send off for a great mate.

Very humbling to see the great turnout and a good send off. The pic is a portion of the line up in Aldwins Rd, it continued way round the bend to the left.

Fantastic pic.

What an amazing tribute. It didnt matter whether you knew Joe a little or a lot, many people took time out of their jobs/lives, gassed up their bikes and road for Joe. Just shows how many peoples lives he touched.

Humbling experience indeed. It was nice that the cops showed up and stopped the cars to allow riders through even though there wasn't an official road closure in place on a very busy street.

a bike cop pulled a car as we started rocking up, after he had given a letcher to said cage driver he must have relised the situation and hulted the caged traffic to allow us all to role on togeather, at the U turn point there was another allowing us to all U turn together I noticed he was at the funeral so Im asuming he was knowen.

BTW the bloody Ducati retro signed bike needs to buy a battary as I saw a old guy arse up pushing him then he stalled it doing the U turn so I jumped of and gave push, bastard could a helped rather than just sit on the bike... bloody canadians.
