I haven't returned to the road yet but wonder what part of the road it happened. I guess the pillion will share the story. A few friends are questioning if they should still ride bikes, but I think as Tim said it's just a sad fact of life that some people will die doing what they love.
Yes its a fact of life.
But life is for the takeing .
Do all you can to minimise the risks .But don't live in a safe cacconed bubble .
People die in house fires or just crossing the roads .
Ride your bike be sensible .
The bike didn't kill him . The collision with the post did.
I'm not advocating removing the post but more can be done to reduce there impact .
