It's a morbid thought, but I'm fed up of reading about local bikers being killed or critically injured round here.

Thursday, there was a serious accident at a roundabout I'd used 12 hours previous. There are roadworks at it, and I don't know what happened but there were 'bits' on the road, gravel mud and the like... the stuff you find in roadworks tbh.

Just gone on the local BBC News site and there's a story about a Bristolian biker who's been killed last night. The guy he was following clipped the curb and went down.... he went over the bike, and was pronounced dead at the scene.

I do wonder how many of these incidents are people who have figured the weather is nice and got the bike out of hibernation. I bet if I go down the dealers there'll be the same, getting the latest gear...not swatting up on their riding techniques.

I not the greatest rider, just always have the view the drivers are out to kill me.

PLEASE..... just take it easy out there.
