Hundreds pay tribute to Anthony Gordon at Gold Coast motorcycle club
Hundreds from the Queensland motorcycle and Gold Coast communities have gathered to pay tribute to 17-year-old motorcyclist Anthony Gordon after he tragically died during a championship race in Brisbane’s north earlier this month.
Mr Gordon, affectionately known as “Knuckles”, was today escorted by a roar of engines as a motorcade of friends on Harley motorbikes accompanied him on his final trip past his Nerang High School.
The motorcade then made one final lap around Gordon’s local racetrack, with his helmet and jersey nearby for the ride.
