    Very true but drivers also need to be off their phones and be concentrating on their driving.

    Saw one today. He had someone in the passenger seat who could have answered the phone for him. Tosser

    All very sad news. I'm not speculating on the causes of any of the accidents reported on here, but I could not agree with you more James with regard to the potholes. Have you noticed the rut (more of a crater) on the Beckington roundabout. A biker who was not familiar with the roads would do well to stay upright if he hit it. The state of the roads from the floods is certainly going to be an unwelcome additional hazard for bikers to contend with this year. Cuts in road repair budgets represent a false economy as more of the allocated funding for remedial work gets gobbled up in compensation claims. My thoughts go out to the biker's family RIP.

    Hey guys, the guy who crashed on the bath road was unfortunately myself.

    Ive got 2 broken wrists, 1 broken arm, 9 broken ribs, 2 cracked vertebrate(spell?), punctured lung, liver and kidney, but im on the mend!

    Was just unfortunate timing by myself and the van driver. Sadly my 13 plate xjr1300 burned out, but luckily im ok . Which sadly cant be said for the rider who died in a more recent accident . RIP, Thoughts are with his friends and family.
