Tributes to 'true gent' who had a massive impact on Scunthorpe's motorbike scene

- By LAUREN DAVIDSON

AN avid motorcycle dealer and “true gent” who was known by many throughout Scunthorpe has sadly died at the age of 86.

Alan Hunt, who ran Brian Lee Motorcycles on Mary Street and was Chairman of the Scunthorpe Motor Cycle Club for 35 years, made a “massive impact” on the local motorbike scene in Scunthorpe and went on to become President of the club.

Keen to encourage younger members into the sport, he also served on the Youth Committee of the Auto-Cycle Union, the national governing body for motorcycle sports.

He leaves behind daughters Paula and Elaine, grandchildren Clare, Emma, Laura, Alice, Annie, Ben and Millie and great-grandchildren Bella, Cyrus, Lilly, Phoebe, Olive, Brooke, Leo and Poppy. His late wife Kay and son Christopher both sadly died five years ago.
