PS Reporting on the Severn Crossing accident the local ITV news showed
the bike involved: a green Kwak. First thing I did I checked that valleyboy
was still posting.

Real good to see your still around VB, quietly relieved, unfortunately we've lost a few more of our kind today.

Lets think about the families and freinds of the poor souls that were lost.

Weird that the scooter man didn't see the biker.

Bugger!


Makes you question your own mortality for a minute or two. Having said that, if its your time to go its your time to go. Que sera, sera.

I live just off this road, and did see the Ambulance and chopper go flying past.

Trouble is I can here people hairing it up and down the road sometimes.
Unfortunatley an accident was at some stage inevitible. A sad loss.

My thoughts are for the victims family.

According to the local news, this past weekend was a bit dark for bikers all around Portugal, so much that the authorities stated they're thinking about taking measures to "increase safety" to account for it... whatever they mean.

Anyway, RIP guys.
