Don't worry mate. I'm sure your neck of the woods are safer for bikers than ours. It happens in Dorset. A spate of fatalities involving cars or bike then nothing for ages.

I sold my Honda CB1300 a couple of years ago because I found motorists were treating me as the would a car . Cutting me up, blocking me out by closing gaps down and generally putting my life in danger

but so many times a bike will suddenly appear up your rear end from nowhere or overtake dangerously. If you're pulling out of a junction in a car and suddenly a bike appears over the hill at 120mph its the car driver who'll get the blame. they say think bike but maybe the bikes should be a bit more carefull and think car too.

Its very sad that so many lives are lost but there are so many idiotic bike riders out there:thumbdown:

Very true - there are plenty of idiot bikers.

 

But that in way excuses the majority of SMIDSY type RTCs which can be put down to poor obs on the part of the car driver.

Heartbreaking to see someone only just starting out in life to be killed as well.

It's the same scenario as Tree workers, a few bad apples give everyone a bad name.

 

Good bikers always get tarred with the same brush
