    Shout out - Greg Nestor's family.

    This year we had a very special donation of many bikes and scooters from Greg Nestor's family. Greg passed away very unexpectedly in April this year. His partner Heather, family and friends wished to continue his love of giving bikes at Christmas to local families. Everyone gave generously at Greg’s ‘Celebration of Life’. Greg was bike mad.. he loved them, he was racing speedway, and had raced mini bikes and then onto the bigger bikes at the motocross.
