A SPECIAL event at Sammy Miller's Motorcycle Museum held in memory of teenage crash victim David Pilbro has been hailed a great success.

David, 17, died in a motorbike crash on the A31 near Wimborne in October last year and his family organised the event to raise money for Dorset Doc Bike, the UK's first road based trauma doctor on a motorbike.

More than 70 people took part in a ride out from Holes Bay, Poole, to Sammy Miller's Motorcycle Museum where a number of fund raising activities took place.

David's father, Sean, said: "David would have been very proud of everyone involved in helping to make this event a great success for his chosen charity, and I would like to thank everyone involved and who came or contributed to raffle prizes and donations for such a great cause as DocBike the first trauma doctor on a motorcycle."

The event raised £1,650 for Doc Bike.

Dorset Doc Bike was launched by Dorset PC Chris Smith and Dr Ian Mew, an intensive care and air ambulance doctor.
