Hi guys & girls,
Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I've now seen the aftermath of four bike accidents in the last two weeks.
Two of these I could tell instantly we're not the rider's fault but could have been avoided by more defensive riding in rush hour traffic.
The last incident I saw yesterday, involved a very sad looking GSX-R in the offside lane of the M4 about a dozen traffic cops and very sadly an air ambulance parked on a green beside the slip road. I suspect he/she didn't sleep in his own bed last night, I hope he/she gets to in the future.
Like I say, maybe it's just one of those coincidence things, maybe it's people getting back on bikes after a winter in the garage, but whatever it is, let's remind ourselves to be sharp & smart out there.
Flow.
Be careful out there

Re: Be careful out there
I've seen some very stupid riding over the last few weeks too. Its as if everyone forgets how dangerous it can be.
Take care all.

Re: Be careful out there
Hmmm it's not an easy ride out there these days. Not so bad once you get out into the countryside, but I have to say, even then there's still plenty of obstacles!! I no longer choose to commute on my bike except every once in a while, and to keep my eye in, so to speak. Hope everyone stays sharp and rides safe 

Sorry I missed church, I was busy practicing witchcraft!

Re: Be careful out there
Car drivers and bike riders are both to blame in situations like these.
These riders could of been fair weather riders or all year commuters and their luck just ran out. Either way always sad to hear about fellow riders getting knocked off
