No one stopped to check if I was ok when I low sided in fucking Glenfield lol. Edit, maybe I was abit harsh, most people are cool, but some are rubber necking dicks.

was it due to inattention? group riding is tricky in the best of conditions, let alone likely slippery roads.

Yup you hit the nail on the head.. He also admits to misinterperating the road and wasnt fully aware of the pending intersection. I tend to think that fixation played a part here as he was looking at my rear (well my bikes rear) and that is what he hit on a 2 lane road..!

I think people get scared of what they might find at an accident sight, it's not right, but sometimes "self" takes over for some people

not sayin thats what happened but another view point

glad ya mates ok

[terbang]

id be more concerned about the halfwitt mate running into the back of your bike due to lack of attention , that sorta stuff pisses me off and is one of the reasons i enjoy riding alone

Good point and I reckon we all need to review our group riding technique from time to time.

He may have a broken hand or something and has lost a fair bit of bark from around his wrists,

Owwww!!!

Damn, no one realises just how much they need their hands until they can't use them due to injury.

Give him all our best wishes. I'm sure Quasi can sort him out with some good replacement gear.

Best of luck dealing with those bastard insurance companies.

I just have this mental image of an entire motorway parking to the side of the road to help someone who binned... not everyone can stop, and quite a few will just get in the way if they tried to help. You'd be a prick if you didn't stop for someone alone, but he already had you looking after him, how much more could a bunch of wrinkly old farts have helped out?

FFS, what is this, America? Some people just have no idea... FFS

BULLSHIT sparky.. get a fucking clue.. i bet youve never even been there.. we respect bikers in the States..where are all the anti-racist posts NOW?

Well it wouldn't take much thought to figure, bear in mind we are out in the sticks here, that an injured rider may need a lift and also a prostrate motorcycle will eventually need to be moved to restore the road. A fair bit for one person to do I suspect.
In this case the next vehicle that came along was the local farmer who took the situation for the serious nature that it was and couldnt have been more helpful. Big ups to him and his missus..
