A mate of my nephew, he got a motorbike for passing his GCSE's

He was killed riding it, less than a week after getting it.

Those poor parents gotta live with that

Yeah, they are dangerous. A kid, well, a bloke in his twenties that I worked with, was out on his sports bike with three mates. Riding quite quick and a woman was pulling out of a side road turning right onto a main road towards them. They saw her and slowed down. She saw them and stopped halfway out, they opened up to go past her on the other side of the road and just as they got to her she started off again. All 4 hit the car one after another. Two of them including the bloke I knew died of their injuries. I’ve been knocked off of my bike three times through absolutely no fault of my own and managed to walk away from two of 'em each time with very little injuries. One was a bit worse, stretchered to hospital with back and neck injuries. Painful, but still nowhere life near threatening.

A road near to us, which bikers love, has a few signs saying "think bike"......Some wag has written underneath each of them "think ****"

motorbikes aren't really compatible with developing brains. At least with a car, they have a chance that the box will take the crunch.

I had to stop and take a photo of this sign when I was touring abroad on my bike one year.

Sorry to hear about those who experienced deaths from MB accidents. I've only fallen off a bike twice on the roads. Once when I hit a wet manhole cover when cornering (yeah, that old chestnut) and once I inexplicably in a moment of total forgetfulness, I forgot to put my foot down when coming to a halt (#embarrassing)
