Looks genuine enough to me, but perhaps I'm being dim...

Motorcycle dangers
From Mr Paul Smith



Sir, I am becoming increasingly alarmed at the rising number of motorcycle deaths. These accidents, whether the fault of the motorcyclist or other road users or even road conditions, are tragedies for a great many people. The main problem seems to me to be the lack of protection a motorcyclist has.
I wonder whether we should start looking at restricting the use of motorcycles to, say, minor roads, or even banning them altogether?



Yours faithfully,
PAUL SMITH,
8 Beacon Hill Road, Halifax HX3 6AF.

Nope not a wind up, call him and find out 01422 253 965

I was considering writing him a nice email... But I suspect it might not be taken in the spirit in which it's intended
