    Paul, back in 2000's Darren was well known to the Harley community in Sydney.
    Before his Death he was well know to the Harley community & Drag Racers all over Australia. he had a Passion & Loyalty for his friends & for Drag racing Harleys; he went length & Breadth of Australia. Racing riding & winning. he also sold Harley's for a while. he was only young. Only person I know to ride a Harley Duece with a 124" motor ( Carb ) Sydney to Perth to drag race it, having never been to Perth in his life. He road it back so he could time it for a race meet ( Screamin Eagle Harley's in Sydney. He had a M8 of his ride over with him on a old EVO softail, that experienced problem's in middle of no where. Shep worked his butt off to get his m8's bike going again ( another story ) he latter became a top bike drag racer racing a Sponsored Harley Destroyer. there was an annual ride for him each year, organised by FOC. he was the type of person that would do anything to help others. when my starter motor went late on a Saturday  ( three day race meet Screaming Eagle Harleys at Sydney international Dragway ) Shep got into it to help, so did others, got a rebuild kit from dealer ( Saturday night ) had starter rebuilt, helped get it in & finished so I could make the first elimination & I was competing against him. you only get to meet a few people like that in a lifetime!! Real Harley men!!
    RIP Shep
