thats what confuses me most - the attitudes expressed here are all attitudes and beliefs i held strongly up until about 5.15 last night... now im not so sure about the "take risks and live" philosophy.
the crash wasnt the bikers fault.. a car gave up his right of way on the far side of a brow of a hill to let another car coming the other way through, although there was no need for him to do so as both would fit through. the biker was going about45-50 in a 60 zone and had no place to go but into these cars.
Some might argue that old line of "only ride as fast as the distance you can safely see to be clear..." etc... but even one of the police officers said it was a damned stupid thing for the car driver to do. A thread on here has already discussed priorities.
