Nobody deserves to die just because they made one error of judgement.

However, regularly driving at silly speeds is like playing Russian Roulette... sooner or later, your number is up.

If that happens to me the Mrs will be mortgage free with 4 years income to make a plan. But I do hope she never gets it...!!

RIP fella

But we don't know the exact circumstances behind his accident, so we can't say it was 'kinda' anything just because of a past conviction.

Debating and thinking about people who've lost their lives in accidents helps us, the living, to avoid joining them so soon.

It's not meant to be offensive at all, if anything maybe your Uncles loss has saved someone elses life, from something said or thought about in one of these debates.

You have my sympathy.

Sorry for his families loss i really am, but you are running a higher risk at those speeds.
He didnt just excessively speed on the day he got caught for speeding im sure.
It could happen to any of us, but you do run a greater risk the more risks you take.

Like i said earlier, RIP, really wish it hadnt happened to you or any other biker.

Do you actually know anything about this bloke and his history or did you just make that up?

If what happened to your uncle can make one other person slacken their right hand a little, or even lift their right foot in the car a little, then perhaps you can find a little comfort in that though?

I don't think anyone on this thread is intending to be offensive towards your family or anyone else involved, but perhaps this discussion will help them look at their own attitudes?
