So sad.

Can happen to anyone, keep safe peeps

Easy to get distracted for any reason but the consequences are more likely to be serious on a bike.

We stopped riding because we were losing too many friends and we biked for years. Very sad, a great experience but very dangerous nowadays.

So allow a bigger braking distance, I do.

But your experience and patience does. And most olde fartes have long given up on sports bikes just because of the riding position. So all in all, just keep riding.

I'd lose my back and licence in a week on that.

I have a huge advantage over you, I can red-line my bike in all gears. And get 70 mpg.

All bikes only go the speed you make them ??

If that is your way of saying "bikers are responsible people who always ride safely and obey the laws of the land" then I have to wholeheartedly agree.

Been riding for 50 yrs all year around and still trailer a 1200 BMW RT on the back of our van so get the best of both worlds.
