Southern Suburbs

Buccaneer run

Many of you are aware of Think Bike (TB). It is not a club, but merely an awareness campaign to promote biker safety. The aim is to ask motorists to be on lookout for bikers and to ask motorcyclists to wear ATGATT and ride responsibly. The idea started in Brittain a few years ago. Later Brian Cannoo brought this idea to South Africa. Brian was fondly known as the Buccaneer (Bucc). He was born in the Southern Suburb, but spent his last years in Johannesburg. On 18 February 2008 Bucc was killed in a motorcycle accident, when a bus made an illegal U-turn. (actually the accident happened a few days earlier, he was in ICU for a few days before he passed away)
