Seen a lot of bikers out this weekend, none of them were doing anything to make me think they were riding any other way than sensible. It's sad to hear of this and condolences to the family.

Its true i caught the news... 4 road deaths this weekend. 2 motorbikes and 2 cars. The Gixxer and the other bike went into a tractor. Any road deaths are sad news. My thoughts go out to the family and friends.

My thoughts go out to the family and friends of those lost this weekend.

Dear Lord,
A word, if I may
I suppose one could say
This constitutes
An attempt to pray
Neither selfishness nor greed
Rather, a heartfelt need
For Asphalt Angels
To intercede

Ah fuck, I bumped into a group of guys yesterday morning at Bombay before they were heading down 22...one of them was on a gixxer of this exact description.

I will try and find out if it was him.
