“His dad is a biker, and he dreamed of passing his license“, indicates Julien, Bryan’s uncle by marriage. Dressed in a black leather jacket, he blends into the crowd: nearly a hundred bikers came this Saturday to make tribute to Brian, 19 year old young man died in an accident on the road to Averton (Mayenne) last week. They were gathered in the parking lot of the Super U in Villaines-la-Juhel.
Julien looks all around him: “We didn’t expect there to be so many people.“However, they came from Alençon, Evron or even Mayenne to say goodbye to the fan of two-wheelers.
“People are there for him”
Océane, childhood friend and former neighbor of Bryan, is also very affected. “It shows that people are there for him, she let out tears in her eyes.
He was someone very important to me. Not hearing from him overnight is very hard.
The most of those gathered did not know Bryan. This is the case of Diego and Charlie. They are both sixteen years old, and have driven the thirty kilometers from Mayenne with their 50cc motorcycle, out of solidarity. “For me it’s a form of respect, Charlie points out.
Bikers are a big family. We would like the community to do the same for us if it happened to us.
Diego, he does not know how to formulate his sentence, then launches out: “I think from where he is, he is proud to see all these bikers gathered for him.“
After meeting, all the drivers and relatives who came by car marched in final procession. Revving their engines in memory of Bryan.
