3. Other road users are still in winter mode and aren't looking out for bikes.
4. I'm still in winter mode and haven't got in the groove yet.
5. I ride purely for fun. Winter riding on a sports bike is just stupid.
Today I spotted crash damage in Chippenham that beggars belief. There was a hedge with a cartoon style car shaped hole in it on my estate and a 30mph sign flat on the ground on the A4.
Our lives are in their hands!
Until we know more we can only speculate but this is tragic new none the less.
Obviously all our thoughts are with this poor mans family.
