Was this the incident that happened near Beaminster ? Heard it wasn't good.

There were a few incidents down our way over the bank holiday weekend, 1 fatality sadly.

It is who I thought it was. Truly awful.

Anyone who visits West Bay regularly will have known Tim. He was an unmistakable figure. As a fellow Superduke rider I always had a natter with him, usually about the latest goodie he'd bought for his bike.
I'm genuinely shocked.
RIP Tim.
