I hate to say it, but our local news reports another 51 year old biker killed at Seaham near my place this morning.
He hit a solid stone wall on a tight bend apparantly.
I'll post up more if I find out details. There was a large biker rally at Stroud over the weekend and there were lots of cruisers around.

bad news. yesterday I went for a 250k run and I have to say I was 'sluggish' namely not sharp as usual. we old farts and im 51, really have to run more often to keep our skills on edge. I havent been riding much lately and found it to have a bad effect on me. a sort of laziness sets in. not good. and of course I speak for myself.
The only extra info I could get on this crash at Seaham was that the rider was on a Ducati.
R.I.P.

Man dies after motorcycle crash
A Lake Macquarie man has died in a motorbike crash near Seaham.
Police say the 51-year-old from Mandalong was travelling on Clarencetown Road yesterday morning when he lost control of the vehicle and it crashed into a rock wall.
He suffered serious head injuries and died a short time later.
A report is being prepared for the coroner.
Leave a bit of room for error.
That's what I do now... Cheers,

If I did that, I'd be in the gravel.
Do Bridgeshit do an 020 in knobbies ?
Another biker down over night. Being chased by Police, hit the back of a 4 wheel drive that pulled onto the street he was riding down and in front of him. He was wearing an open face helmet that had apparently come off his head and was on the road. They showed his body underneath a sheet. That pissed me off. What f*&^ing bad taste The poor bastards family will see their father/brother/son dead on the road under a yellow tarpauline. , f*** the media: bi
I wonder if he knew he was even being chased?

This was emailed to me at work. Not sure if it is appropriate to put here, if not sue me!! No don't! I need money for Tonys bike bits.
Anyone know who the author is??
I saw you, hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line. But, you didn't see me, put an extra $10.00 in the collection plate last Sunday.
I saw you, pull your child closer when we passed each other on the sidewalk. But, you didn't see me, playing Santa at the local mall.
I saw you, change your mind about going into the restaurant. But, you didn't see me, attending a meeting to raise more money for the hurricane relief.
I saw you, roll up your window and shake your head when I drove by. But, you didn't see me, riding behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the car window.
I saw you, frown at me when I smiled at your children. But, you didn't see me, when I took time off from work to run toys to the homeless.
I saw you, stare at my long hair. But, you didn't see me, and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love.
I saw you, roll your eyes at our leather coats and gloves. But, you didn't see me, and my brothers and sisters donate our old coats and gloves to those that had none.
I saw you, look in fright at my tattoos. But, you didn't see me, cry as my children were born and have their names written over my arm and in my heart.
I saw you, change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere. But, you didn't see me, going home to be with my family.
I saw you, complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be. But, you didn't see me, when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane.
I saw you, yelling at your kids in the car. But, you didn't see me, pat my child's hands, knowing he was safe behind me.
I saw you, reading the map as you drove down the road. But, you didn't see me, squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn.
I saw you, race down the road in the rain. But, you didn't see me, get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date.
I saw you, run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time. But, you didn't see me, trying to turn right.
I saw you, cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in. But, you didn't see me, leave the road.
I saw you, waiting impatiently for my friends to pass. But, you didn't see me. I wasn't there.
I saw you, go home to your family. But, you didn't see me. Because, I died that day you cut me off.
I was just a biker,..... A person with friends and a family. But, you didn't see me.
