Sounds like he might of been having a 'spirited' ride if it was a lamp post.

Well at least he died doing something he loved.

RIP

Someone knew him on the essex bikers forum.

I was actually on the same road only an hour earlier on my own bike, was shocked to hear about it. The roads were dry as far as I remember, not sure exactly what happened tho.

RIP indeed.

Wonder what did actually cause him to hit a lamppost, providing it wasn't "spirited"....

Poor chap, quite a sweet story really, bit of a fairytale. Shame about the anti-climax

What is the morbid fascination with posting random bike road deaths of total strangers on BCF? Yes, it sucks that someone has died but you don't know him so why post it?

I'm sure car forums don't have the same problem every time a corsa full of chavs ends up in a lake.

In b4:

stay safe out there guys, keep it shiny side up, rubber side down and something to do with brotherhood etc etc

For the record, if you hear about some Dayglo Derek riding comically slowly into a ditch South of Glasgow, I expect - nay, I demand - responses along the lines of "What a prick", "Serves the cnut right" and "Better him than me".

And while you're having your laugh, I'll be getting re-incarnated as this kitten.

A lad hit a lampost here too, was about a year back on a yellow k4/k5 gsxr 600. Lampost was fucking mullered - I thought a car had hit it!

Luck wasn't on his side that day. R.I.P

Yup.
You were even silly enough to post along the lines of 'if you disagree you shouldn't read a thread or post in it', which kind of defeats the purpose of interwebs forums somewhat.

I can be a bit hard hearted sometimes, after all just another death on the roads, and he was probably riding like a dick. But I read the article and all the tear jerking stuff was getting me all sympathetic to the guy until it mentioned that this guy who died on a triumph, dreamed of having a Harley Davidson.

This is just wrong to me. HD make crap motorbikes for idiots who know nothing about bikes, and this chap had a perfectly good triumph and wanted a HD. God was clearly as appalled as me, and arranged this little accident.

For those of you that are interested, and just to clear Scott's name for those who think he may have been having a "spirited ride" it would appear, according to a witness, Scott was overtaking a car along this stretch of road, quite sensibly may I add but suddenly lost contol of he's bike and that the handles bars were violently moving from left to right.
I think this can only point to one thing. A tankslapper.
The witness also said that Scott was not hammering it down the road either, but was doing a fairly sensible speed performing a normal overtake for a motorcyclist.

I knew Scott, and worked with him, and he was a great bloke.
He was literally on the verge of moving to America to be with he's fionce. They planned to marry and settle down there.
You could say this was a fairytale story that came to a very tragic end 2 weeks ago.
Here's a small collection of pics put together by Scotts fionce just after he's unfortunate accident..

Scott, RIP..
