Thats the closest I intend to get to the big fella at the mo. Sad to hear of the deaths on the Helmsley to stokesly road this weekend.

Yep, you're right there the Helmsley/Stokesly road is often heavily policed and the speeds on that road get excessive. Apparently the accident was a bike/bike accident - one airlifted to Hosp, the other by ambulance.

The roads down here (Yorkshire) have once again seen more accidents this weekend, I drove past a bike/car accident today, fortunately no one appeared to be hurt, just a bend bandit in the middle of the road.

A timely lesson for all - take it easy and get home safely, arrive 10 mins later - does it really matter?

The roads round N Yorks featured on a telly programme a few years ago. The prog was about a bunch of accident investigators and was not particularly anti-bike, but did make the point that intentions are not always matched by ability.
I watch the video of this episode every so often. It is rather humbling.
