A widow has donated the wreckage of her late husband's motorbike to police for a hard-hitting road safety campaign.

Angela Harris, 35, of Devizes. was left to look after two children when her husband Andy died at the age of 34 when he crashed his Kawasaki 1100cc machine. Now she wants to make riders think more carefully about the effects a fatality has on a family.

Mr Harris was killed on July 25, 2001 as he tried to negotiate a bend on the A361 near Seend.

He collided with a car coming in the opposite direction, throwing him onto the road where he was hit by a second car. He died at the scene.

Mrs Harri said: "If seeing the implications makes just one rider slow down and think, we may save one life and prevent another family tragedy. Andy was a very careful, methodical person. He was an advanced driver and a driver by trade. If somebody like him who was so careful could have an accident it could happen to anybody."

Mrs Harris said Andy had only had the bike on which he died for a couple of months and it was his pride and joy.

Police motorcyclist Sergeant Colin Hibberd has vowed to use the bike as part of a shock-tactic campaign. It will be taken to various fetes and known places where motorcyclists meet.

He said: "We have been talking to the Red Lion pub in Avebury about taking the bike there as it's a regular meet for riders. Perhaps someone, somewhere, will remember the sight just before they ride or even buy a motorcycle and get home safely to their family."
