Saw a downed CBR today a few miles outside my home town (Market Harborough). It wasn't a head-on thankfully, the bike looked pretty intact, I suspect a side-swipe while he/she was overtaking. But I was concerned with the amount of police there. They'd already put a "Police slow" sign out before the ambulance had arrived. It got there just before me, I let it pass a mile or so earlier. And the scene was taped off as well, but I couldn't see the rider. It just makes me tingle a bit with the thought and I really hope he/she is ok.

Never good to see and always a reminder of just how fragile we are even with good gear on. Fingers crossed the rider is ok.

Hi to all!

 

Hey tdmpaul!

 

I'm also very sad about the motorcycle accident rate in Brazil.

It's really absurd. As your said, regardless of who is at fault.

 

Cheers!
