I hope its not out of place, but i'd like to know how these accidents are happening. Are other vehicles involved?
I know the accident at Reefton the guy was not a regular rider (a sunny weather rider if you like) and simply went too hard without the experience on the bike. We all know the busa is hard to slow down before the corners.
Last weekend someone ran wide and collected the other bike. Running wide is usually from lack of confidence with the bike, and less often due to crap on the road at a speed with no room for error.
What happened to Al and the Maroondah hwy rider?
Is it ego's pushing us beyond our limits? Is it the sunny weather rider syndrome?
Im asking for my own knowledge. I rather learn from others mistakes than make them myself. I wouldnt say i ride slowly, but its been years since my heart has jumped while on the bike. I like to think im always leaving room for error.
I have not posted in fatality posts before for fear of not knowing what to say, but this is shaping up to be a very bad summer. Im getting to know a hell of a lot of people on bikes and i hate to get news like this.
I feel terrible for those lost riders and the families that have lost them. Please keep our ego's at bay.
