Hey guy's very sad news i found out tonight there was a accident tonight just up the road from where i live , a car and motorcycle were involved , bikes in bit's and car smashed on one side, happened on a T intersection, and i was told by a local shop owner the guy on the motorcycle didn't make it and passed away, went down to have a look , really regret doing it now cop's are taking photo's and etc , i'm really shook up about it seeing it. We all need to take care of each other and ourselves, so we don't end up like the poor guy tonight. Well just thought i had to tell everyone . cheers brendan

ah honey... I'm sorry to hear. you ok?

please tell me though, what was the bike? colour, anything? you live near my home I just moved out of. my housemate... -J.

Couldn't really see clearly because it was dark, but the bike was a reddy colour i think , and it had dual pipes.

not my friend, just got through on phone... so relieved, but still so sorry because someone else is going through what I just went through, only the news is bad *heart breaking* RIP and condolences... -J.

Very sad Brendan.

Hope you are ok after seeing that. I know what an effect seeing an accident can have. It is a very real risk of riding though, so let it help you ride safer.

Brendan if you haven't already go on a quiet ride slow ride and get the cobwebs from the accident out of your head but remember always to be alert, wear the right gear and ride to the conditions.

well that slowed me down for about 30 seconds!!!1

Kinda the reason I tend to be slower on my bike than some... Seen quite a few of these through work and hopefully never want to turn up to another again... Try to learn from it Brendan!!!

Not the sort of stuff to dwell on & being a rubberneck does not help brendan, we all ride bikes & MOST of us understand the risk associated with doing so, take it in ....assess how it affects you... then move on

the first time is always bad......but everyone has a first time. You've just had yours, the next time you see this (if you ever do), it won't be quite as bad....

take a minute to think about the ambo's and fireies who attend these scenes *every day*..... my hat goes off to them.

not good to hear but this is a part of our hobby/sport whether we like it or not.

Dont take to long to jump back on and clear the image's out of your head
