Sad news. Don't think it has been posted yet, sorry if it has.

Martin Nurton, one of my local instructors who ran Horizon in Milton Keynes was killed in an accident on Friday 7th.

Details are still vague at the moment.

I'm only down the road from MK myself.
Condolences to his family.
Sounds like a decent bloke has gone too soon.

Mechanical failure? Can't figure it out otherwise. Sorry to hear it whatever the cause.

He was someone I used to ride with Crying or Very sad

My wife learnt to ride at his school and he and his lady were lovely people.

Oh wow, Martin trained me during my CBT and module 2. He was such a nice guy and cared about his students. Condolences to his wife, family and friends.

From our local MK paper:

"HUNDREDS of friends turned out to pay tribute to Martin Nurton at his funeral today (Monday).

The 33-year-old motorcycle instructor was killed in an accident on Friday September 7.

As a mark of respect, hundreds of his friends and family attended his funeral, meeting first at the Horizon Rider Training centre, at the National Bowl, where he worked, to form a convoy behind the hearse as it journeyed to Crownhill Crematorium.

There was a celebration of his life back at The Bowl after the funeral.
