The only thing I enjoy reading more over breakfast than the AN news is our not on the spot report from our man Richard.

 

You couldn’t make this up.

But he does.

 

Awww... cute.. Malcy our 'highly awarded drink-driving-monger' is still so desperate to provoke....  

 

 

Dealing with the points directly:

 

Riding off the road and into a moat - and you think he might be experienced rider ???....    you're funny...

 

IF you think a tourist is licensed to ride a bike on their standard UK licence, you are likely wrong - and if so, that 'would' make rental illegal..   thus, tts very probable he was unlicensed (unlikely he'd passed his CBT) - of course possible, but really you know the likelihood of that already and just want to be a t!t.... 

 

If you think a motorcycle that ends up in a water (a moat) is not waterlogged / water damaged - more fool you next time you go bike shopping.... 

 

 

....  you tried so hard to ridicule my 'guesses' that once again you just look like a total nitwit you're known to be.

While the precise cause of the accident is yet to be fully determined, speculation suggests the tourist may have missed a nearby bridge while navigating the road, inadvertently driving into the canal.

 

I'll have a guess...   'never rode a motorcycle in his life before'....   

 

 

... more possible that he had never ridden before and had no idea what he was doing...  

 

Likely unlicensed and rented illegally -  that crack-down they announced a few months back didn't last, as if it was ever expected it would !!!...

 

This will now cost him - the bike is waterlogged...   how much is a brand new Honda Click these days ?
