My condolences to the friends and family of the rider, if they read this thread.

Not to sound rude but someone seems to have turned on the death tap, cos motorcyclists are starting to drop like flies.

Shit, that's no good, I saw the accident this morning on the way to work, thought it was funny that there was only 1 car, didn't see the bike, but they had screens up.

Shit man, so not good.

Glad you're okay, I'm really hoping it's not one of the regulars, I know a few who commute.

I'm gonna be stressing until I know all are okay.

That's a nasty setup for such a major intersection, seem to see people getting cutoff and pushed off the road every time I go through that way.

not as bad as a road down from motomail where there are 4 on ramps into a double lane, one of them being a motorway off ramp.

I once saw four cars all try and merge without any checking to see if it was clear. It was tense.

I don't like it. All's OK until you get someone unfamiliar with the required lane discipline.

Condolenses to friends and family of the fallen. I also hope it is not one of our guys however that will not be any consolation to those who knew him.

THe young man who was killed today, worked for me. We are only a small company. Just six staff. He was on a learners, i tried to discourage him from riding to work as iti s far to dangerous for a learner. He got the bike, to try to save money, He has a son who was born only 6 weeks ago. He was a genuine neat guy, who adored his partner and son. He was doing well here, and was a quick learner on our machines.

Sometimes we hear the news or read about it, but unitll it hits you so close, you can never under estimate its impact.

I have read many of these post and threads before, but have chosen most of the time not to comment. THis time when i say my heart goes out to the family, it is said with tears in my eyes, and a sense of loss, that will not easily go away. No words can express how i feel today.................
