    Slowed for a moment and then back to normal,alot of people speed as it is quite safe in the right conditions,but there is always some" holier than thou " people out there that think you should not speed ....remember children its 100 kph = 64 miles an hour....not really the speed of light is it?

    Did anyone hear if the rider was ok, or is everyone too interested in bitching about speed?

    If you didn't want to worry people why did you bother posting about the incident at all? All you achieve is making all the locals wonder if one of their mates have been hurt, and for what purpose would you do this? Did your post do anything at all to assist the downed rider or anyone else? Or did it just make you feel cool because you got to break the news first?
    The views expressed above may not match yours - But that's the reason my Dad went to war - wasn't it?
    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, .... but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out,... shouting "man, what a ride"!!!
