Be Careful all you WSBK tourers!!!

Post by Strika »

I just read on another forum about a guy who some in here will most likely know! Bucko. He was on mcnews and twowheels forums and was well known. He died yesterday somewhere up around Cabramurra while on a tour with a group heading to the world supers :cry: . I am not sure of the details apart from knowing that they found his body late yesterday after he went missing on that section of road. There have been a few fatalities in the last few weeks, all of them known to me and this one hurts a bit. I don't want to throw doom or gloom onto your World Supers run, but I would beg all who are riding down to keep it cool, remain focussed and remember that long days in the saddle when you are not distance fit, can wear you out and fatigue your concentration levels and slow your decision making process. So please all, take regular breaks, try not to do too many KLMS each day, keep hydrated, cool or warm depending on temps and PULL OVER if you are feeling a little ragged and don't try to keep up with the group!! 8)

Take it easy, take your time, enjoy the experience and try not to let the red mist decend over the visor boys n girls! Have a safe ride!! :)
