Really sorry to hear, selfishly I can't help thinking 'that might be me' when I hear news of a biker accident. Thoughts also turn t0 the biker friends I have lost over the years or who have had bad injuries, sadly far too many. There is no getting away from the added risk we take on when on a bike compared to in a car.

Last week we had air ambulance pick up a chap here in Blandford who had had a seizure whilst riding his bike, even though from what we understand he was in a 30 obeying the speed limit, the total lack of control as his body effectively shut down has led to a very bad accident and him in a very poor way.
