Bikers set to take to the roads to remember motorcyclist Karl Chester
Karl, 36, from Preston, tragically died after a collision between his silver Aprilia motorbike and a blue Nissan Qashqai on the M62 on Good Friday.
Now hundreds of bikers from Preston’s Millennium Bike Club and beyond are forming a funeral cortège for Karl to give him a ‘proper biker’s send off.’
