Ulic Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 As they say there are old motorcyclists and bold motorcyclists but there are no old bold motorcyclists. Hopefully the surviving 3 bike riders have now learned this. RIP to the one who did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would have needed a decent quality of Helmet to be of any help by the sounds of this, crash helmets don't have the magical properties that some like to make out!

People in cooler climates have the law applied consistently !! And yes your right on second point as someone from the Isle of Man I know only to well that helmets don't always enable a rider to survive a head injury .

lvr181 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Temporary citizens? When you're a motorcyclist, in the event of an "accident" whether you are in the right or not, YOU HURT OR DIE!! Learn to ride to live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
