We had our first meet of the season on Wednesday night, it was a nice evening but with it being on the coast very cold breeze. I left around 8.30pm. The Mrs came home from work on the Thursday afternoon and asked if I new about the crash Wednesday night, just round the corner from the local meet. Apparently a mum (Hilda Birchall) on her own machine was riding home, with her husband in front of her as she came round a corner she hit a car head on and died instantly. I was only talking to her that evening.

Her husband turned up to the Sunday meet at the same place with a reef on his bike and an explanation of why he was on his own..

Also on my ride today, I saw two smash ups both on bends, but don't know if anyone had been hurt.

It's a wicked world we live in, so take care out there everyone
