Mr Jowett, who had the least amount of experience as a rider, was on a blue Suzuki at the front, followed by Mr Leckie and Mr Berrie third. Mr Berrie, 42, said: "I spent a couple of years trying to forget." He saw Mr Leckie in front of him slowing down. Mr Berrie said when passing other vehicles, they were "possibly on the throttle". Mr Leckie told the court: "I forgot I said that."
