The other weekend, the Saturday before Wootton Bassett, my friend and I were scouting out the B-Roads to Hullavington. He totalled his VFR400 in that exact same area, possibly even the same road. It was the first time I've ever experienced a crash, I came around the corner to see 3 people pulling his bike out of the road, and him led there against a wall, eyes open, not moving. It was really disturbing, and even more so that it could have been him in that article

Rest in Peace brother

Less than 10 miles from us and I know that road well.....Honestly, I couldn't see myself doing more than 50 at a max on a bike on that road as car, van and lorry drivers treat it like a mini motorway.

RIP to the poor man and thoughts with his family.

RIP chap. Always so sad to hear of someone going like that. It always seems to be this time of year when so many people die. BE CAREFUL out there people. lets not have to see any more threads like this ay.

RIP, fellow biker.

PS. I know this road pretty well because I used to live in
Trowbridge. Never thought of it as particularly dangerous. Maybe
there was something on the road. Given that the accident happened at
5AM could have been an animal.

Narrow high speed road?
I know its total speculation and it prob does no one anygood to say it but my assumtions instantly tied to a car heading the other way was taking the apex of the road (not just thier lane) There is a clear swerve marked out by those cones which means he was still riding as slides only go striaght. Only reason you'd swerve is if someone was on your side of the road, for the good of humanity though I pray it was an animal he avioded rather than a car whose driver didnt even stick around.
