Never hurts to have a gentle reminder of mortality. Hope it doesn't affect you too much Pete.

Tough weekend BP.

I was out for a gentle potter round my favourite local route at the w/e, on the Banbury road out of Kineton towards Edge Hill there was the all-too-usual police sign at the side of the road on a blind L/h bend, and paint markings on the road and off into the hedge. In the local paper it was reported that a 59yr old rider from Solihull on a Honda had hit a car and died.

Take it easy, live to ride another day.

Thanks Pete -- sage advice. Could I just add... if you're going to put your girlfriend on the back... make sure she's wearing gear, ffs!! Sandals and a skirt ain't going do the job!!

Give your bird your gear if needs be.

a) it will slow you down
b) your ugly *rse ain't going to look much worse with bit of road rash... hers will!
