Local bikers and community members came together to call for justice at the Erie County Courthouse

Authorities Police

A group of local bikers and community members came together to call for justice for a man killed while riding his motorcycle in Erie.

56-year-old Robert Moir was rear-ended by a car while riding his bike on Cherry Street back in October of 2018.

Moir was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The group leading the protest, the Mission Riders, say that the driver has yet to be charged in this case and that people need to be held accountable.

The Mission Riders is a group that stands for the rights of bikers.

“To let people know that motorcycles are everywhere. In all kinds of weather it only take a second to stop and look twice. If you look twice, you’ll see things a second time you wouldn’t see the first time. Accidents usually happen between a motorcycle and a motor vehicle,” said Marty Buterbaugh, Chapter President, Alliance of Bikers Aiming Towards Education.

More than 20 bikers were in attendance, including the Injured Riders and the Alliance of Bikers Aiming Towards Education.
