Almost inevitable, given the nice weather.

Six have been killed in just 10 days in Hampshire.

Very sad but this doesn't do us, as a fraternity, any favours with Joe Public and their perception of us as road users

:( So its 'tin hat' time, bikers are going to be in for a real slagging, road racing has just had a real torrid time with 3 racers killed at the Southern 100 and another in Ireland.

Stay safe guys.

Read this yesterday, as sad as I feel for those that have lost their lives, as said, it doesn't help the rest of us, police patrols will be stepped up.

I seen three scamera vans yesterday all leading away from a busy traffic island, one was even 50 yards before a fixed speed camera, dunno wtf that was all about as even if it doesn't work, everybody slows down there and I've never seen an accident there ever.

All very sad news - thoughts go out to the families affected.

As we all know sometimes it's not how good a rider you are it's what the other tw*t is doing that could decide your fate!

Single vehicle accidents are, of course, a different matter all together.

A sobering thought that in a split second it could be all over.

Good luck to all out there, stay safe and enjoy the ride - 'cause you can't beat it. :woohoo:
