Organizers were amazed by the response to a weekend motorcycle run in memory of Chad Pitcher, a fellow biker who was killed in a crash on May 11.

Pitcher was sitting on his bike at the light on Topsail and Hamlyn roads when he was struck by a speeding vehicle.

Large numbers of bikers came out to show support for Pitcher’s family. Harbour Drive was lined with hundreds of bikes and supporters on Saturday as riders honoured one of their own.

Organizer Don Drew says close to $10,000 was raised from Saturday’s event and presented to Pitcher’s widow.
