dosnt say anything about whos fault it was :-/
hope he/she pulls through

[Uber Dave]

I do hope he recovers.

[Rant]

But on a side note yet again I hate how the media reports on bike accidents,

following the collision on his 2300cc motorcycle at Brimble Hill on Monday evening.

Is there any need to quote the engine capacity? It had little to no bearing on the accident as a whole and they wouldnt do the same if two cars had an crash......

More sad news - keeping fingers crossed the rider pulls through.

You are right Dave - why does most of the UK media adopt such a negative agenda when reporting on accidents involving bikes? Never appear to report on the engine capacity or power output of cars involved in accidents.

They always put any slant that they can on a story - they'll never describe someone as a white protestant, but never decline the opportunity to define someone as black/asian/muslim etc. Most of the press are just gutter filth, especially the tabloids.. >

The only bike i can think of being that size engine is a Triumph Rocket 3,and totally agree with above there is no need to quote engine size.they didnt give the vans size etc
Lets hope he/she recovers ok

Agree Scotty – don’t think it would be appropriate on this thread to have a swipe at a certain paper currently in the lens of the media, but I’ll offer up my views elsewhere.

Just to reiterate that I hope the biker makes a recovery.

I am sure I saw this bike in Westbury on Saturday just gone at the top of haynes road I am sure it was this one as I remember thinking good grief I wouldn't want to replace that size rear tyre :-?

And thought the sissy bar was really nice looking and both me and the wife said how much her step father would have loved one like that

Lets hope he/she makes a full recovery
