Default R.I.P guy, please spare a thought

i speak for my self and im sure for the other reading users (jade, sally, luke ect) when i write this

please spare a thought for our friend guy who passed away this morning after a motor bike accident last week.

its hard to think hes gone and will be greatly missed.

its had a large impact on our local communtiy, and i for one will certainly be evaluating m own bike ridding after this tragedy.

all the bike users among you, although im sure it doesnt need to be said, check the conditon of your tyres, brakes and helmets before your next journy.
and perhaps his death wont have been in vain.

R.I.P guy.

You said in the other post that his bike had 2 bald tyres? Were they part cause of the accident? What happened?

glad to hear the bike was ok. Very sad considering it was through no fault of his own.

This is the second post i've read about it and there are conflicting stories on both. The other post mentioned bald tyres thats why i asked. Now you have said the helmet strap snapped?

I was pointing out that if someone died through fault of their own i have no sympathy. hypothetically speaking - If some person had a non MOT'd car with 4 bald tyres that they crashed and died in due to un roadworthyness then why should there be sympathy for them?
