MORE than 150 bikers took part in the Ben Davies charity ride yesterday.

The event was to raise money for the Caritas Community Charitable Trust, which hopes to establish a community for young people in difficulty.

Mr Davies died last month in a motorcycle crash in St Peter’s. His mother, Carol Healy, organised the event as a fund-raiser but also in memory of her son, a keen motorcyclist.

She led the procession along with her mother in her 1952 sky-blue MG.

‘His friend came up with the idea of a tribute ride for him on bikes,’ said Mrs Healy. ‘We’ve been very fortunate with the weather. I’ve seen some very impressive bikes here, Ben would have been well pleased.’
