A reminder how vulnerable we are on bikes.

I knew him. He was in the same IAM group as me.

EDIT I thought you had linked the video. Will see if I can do.
EDIT 2 Oh you did lol.

Very sad.
He manages to stay exceptionally composed, considering the emotive subject.

Without wishing to appear disrespectful however, I'm not sure if I totally agree with the message. Surely your concentration needs to be at pretty much 100% 100% of the time when riding.?

[Rossgo]

Very sad. Over done it and he under estimated just how tiring it would be due to his age (that journey would be hard enough when your young - no offence to this man)
EDIT didn't realowe the're was a video just seenough it on YouTube. You could see it took alot from his son to make that video. Everyone careful out there

[Bratty]

Very sad.

Huge respect for making and posting this video, it must have been incredibly hard.

RIP Mike

Very sad indeed.

Age is a funny thing . I have to miss out on our tour of the Scottish borders and ride pillion due to the fact I know I could not do that many miles in a week without either holding people up or making careless mistakes. I have a circulatory defect as well which also hampers.

A brave son to make that video and I hope it gives him a small amount of comfort that it may make us oldies think before we contemplate certain trips
