Hundreds of bikers turn out for funeral of Michael Mahon
“I WILL be a story in your head, but that’s ok. We are all stories in the end, just make yours a good one, eh?”
Respects were paid to inspirational 28-year-old Michael ‘Mikkie’ Mahon in trademark style yesterday as hundreds of friends and family brought Swindon to a standstill.
Mikkie died tragically in a motorcycle accident while riding in the Forest of Dean last month, and hundreds of bikers joined a huge hearse streaming through the streets of Swindon during the afternoon.
Travelling from the Blade Trade Centre, where Mikkie worked as a salesman, the group of more than 300 weaved past the family home in Croft Road before joining a huge crowd at Kingsdown Crematorium.
As the hearse arrived, the group were encouraged to ‘let rip’, and the air filled with a blistering rev of engines to give Mikkie a great send-off.

The video on Facebook gives me goose bumps, what a huge show of affection. Utterly heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time
I watched the video too and can only echo your sentiments James. A truely amazing send off. Could not fail to bring a tear to the eye of the most hardened biker. My heart goes out to Mikkie's family and Charlotte. I hope that tribute brings them some comfort in the difficult days ahead.
saddly missed this, is there a link to the fb. ?
I'm very sure Mikkie would have really appreciated everyone being there and revving those bikes hard!
As Nelly said, the sound of bikes on entrance and when Mikkie come up the road was very deep and emotional, such a great guy, taken from us all far too early.
R.I.P Mikkie!
