[_Stretchie_]

I think it could just be 'one of those things' mate to be honest.

I've been riding for just over 2.5 years, covered over 30,000 bike miles and lucky enough to normally ride in South Wales and a fair bit of mileage in the Lake district but also cover motorways and A and B roads and ride in all weather conditions. So not like I'm not used to the roads that twist and turn or riding in the rain.

I would consider myself a safe and considerate rider who is respectful of the dangers of the road and as such am not and never will be a hooligan.

I am far from the best rider in the world but I also consider myself more than competant to ride any bike because of those factors and would scare myself before taking a bike too far.

That corner on this instance could have been done at a much greater speed than we were doing it, although we weren't hanging around it was taken into consideration it was wet.

On top of that I've been driving for 10 years covered god knows how many miles and this is my first ever accident.

Again it could all just be a nasty coincidence????
