MORE than 150 bikers turned out to remember a popular biker as they joined his funeral procession.

Cwmbran biker Phil Adams, known as Side Car Bob, was a member of the Celtic Wolves motorcycle club.

He had only been told three weeks before that he had lung cancer before he died at home on March 23.

Biking clubs joined together to ride in procession to his funeral last week at Gwent Crematorium. His wife, Sara, described how the sight of all the bikes was incredible as they followed his coffin – carried in a sidecar on a Triumph motorbike.

She said: “It was a beautiful send off for him and the sun was shining.”

More than £1,000 was raised by tribute act Guns 2 Roses, who took time out of their European tour on April 10 to play in Cwmbran in memory of the biker, on the day when he would have been 50.

When band front man Gav Felvus heard that a member of the Celtic Wolves motorcycle club had passed away, he decided to come back to his home town to perform on the night.

Funds raised at the gig at the Waterloo Pub in Two Locks, went to his family to cover funeral costs.

Mrs Adams described her husband as a “fun loving man who lived life to the full and who would do a good turn for anyone”.
