Re: Justice Ride for Aiden Platt
From the facebook page
On the 2nd August 2015, Aiden Platt, was sadly knocked off his motorbike and killed by a woman driving a car.
The driver, was under the influence of drugs when she sideswiped Aiden's bike.
On 23rd January 2017, the driver was given an 18 month suspended sentence and was allowed to walk free from the court.
As I'm sure you will all agree, this is a complete miscarriage of justice and this is why we want to show solidarity with Aidens family and friends, by holding a justice ride out in Barnstaple, North Devon.
It doesn't matter what bike you ride, a moped or a superbike, we want to show that what has happened to Aiden, will not be simply brushed under the carpet.
We will be meeting on Saturday 11th March at Pottington Business Park, Barnstaple, Devon, EX311QN.
We will be starting the ride out at 11am, so if you can arrive before 10.30am, that would be great.
(We have the support of Aidens family and Devon & Cornwall Police for this to go ahead. There will also be a support ride out being held in Bolton at the same date and time)

Re: Justice Ride for Aiden Platt
Again off the fb page
Just to confirm the route, we will be leaving Pottington Business Park at 11am sharp.
From there we will ride down Braunton Road and onto Rolle Quay.
We will then head along the Inner Relief Road, to the TA Centre.
From there we will head to the Square and up to Barn Henge roundabout.
We will then go up to Roundswell, head along the Link Road to Bishops Tawton and then down to eastern avenue.
From there we will head towards Gaydon Street and up Derby Road to the Cemetery, where Aidens ashes are scattered (we will be stopping here to have a good rev up).
We will then make our way to the Square for a protest against sentencing guidelines.
Hot drinks will be available at the MAG stall.
There will be Marshals on the Square to help with parking so please park where you're asked to.
See you all on Saturday
