Well known biker mourned.

THE biking fraternity mourns the death of Des Pistorius (79), who died in hospital on Friday, 18 April.
Des and his dog ‘Boswell’ who rode along with him were familiar to many people.

Des has been a stalwart in the biking community for many decades. Through the years he was a member of Ace Out, Thumpers and Ulesys motorcycle clubs. “He was a legend in the biking community throughout South Africa. He was lovable, consistent and a dedicated person,” said chairman of the KZN Bikers Association, Marius van Zyl.
