Newcastle - rider killed

Postby Colette » Thu Oct 19, 2006 1:21 pm

Got some very sad news this afternoon...apparently Newcastle Kawasaki sales rep John, was killed riding home from work yesterday.

No info as yet on what happened, but he was a young, well-liked guy and his friends and co-workers are feeling a great loss today.

Condolences to all who knew him... :(

Jamie told me today that they went to John's funeral the day after Winton. John was related to Jamie's wife, Emma. It was her cousin. Very sad to read about the death on this forum and then to find out it was part of Jamie and Emma's family.
