Default RIP

I was sad today when I read this during my lunch break. A few miles from me. I ride to work at the same time. It was a mild, bright morning but had been raining overnight so roads were wet. My heart goes out to the precious loved ones left behind.
Ride safe brothers and sisters.

Ah thats why the M6 was on the traffic news all day. Very sad

Seems like the whole road network went mad today, M25, A12, A47 blocked by crashes and incidents

RIP fella

Unfortunately not the reason, I had to leave the car a mile from home and go back to collect it 4 hours later. Bike fatal was 4 hours before M61 /M6 incident.

RIP indeed, but as someone posted in the LEP about it, give Marco a hug.

Ah thats not good Tim, like I said seemed like there was chaos wherever you were going on the roads today, as I listened to the traffic reports on the radio

There was an incident- a lorry chemical spill which closed the M6 a few hours after the bike accident. The M6 southbound was closed all 4 lanes earlier this evening due to another bike and 2 car accident. Not a good day for M6/M65 area.
