    A lot about motorcyles is based on judgement..precision and accuracy...get it wrong and the consequences can be harsh,thats how it is.

    Don't be too harsh on the media. At these times they are sometimes prevented from reporting certain stuff while the Police complete enquiries.

    Not good , anyone know how young or otherwise the rider was.

    Any urban area is about the most dangerous place to ride, I hate riding in town.
