3 weeks ago a motorbiker in Toulouse (France) was stabbed twice as he resisted two thieves trying to steal his Yamaha R6. 9 days later, after battling for his life, Frédéric Daigneau died in resus. He was 25 years old.
The response from the motorcycling community to this heinous act has been overwhelming. Since Fred's death, motorbikers from all over the area have converged on Toulouse in a poignant and heartwarming show of solidarity and support.
The video here shows the latest and biggest congregation of 1000+ motorbikers meeting in honor of our slain friend.

I post these links here because I believe any motorbiker would like to see the understanding, anger and grief that we all now share. I hope this video goes a little way towards making some difference..

ofblong, trust me a LOT of us feel that way. but unfortunately this is a bigger social problem, and an eye-for-an-eye response would not solve anything..ofblong wrote:I wanna know if the dusches that stabbed him were stabbed by 1000 bikers? They should have been.
the police are yet to arrest anyone in this matter. I think that is the one thing that has riled up all of us..
my request to you and anyone else reading this is to distribute the video links. Let us makes as much noise about this as possible and show that such senseless murders is just not acceptable.. be it a motorbiker or not..
RIDE SAFE.
