Today one of my closest friends died driving to school. She wasn't a biker, but knew how to ride and I remember her telling me of how her father told her she was a natural on a motorbike only a few days ago.
She was one of the most sensible, most careful people I knew and I honestly can't believe she died this morning. It seems she was the cause however, through inexperience - loosing control going around a corner on the loose metal, and colliding (I assume) head on with a 4WD. She was only a few weeks, I believe, away from getting her full licence.
She shouldn't have died. But this is what happens. So please, just take this as a reminder of how dangerous metal roads can be. Be sensible. Know your limits... All that stuff. You've heard it before, you'll hear it again, and I will bet without any doubt that many of you have your own stories. Take it slow on loose metal.
