Two things stand out for me here: Diesel or oil appears to cause the lions share of the accidents by a very long way. Really easy to solve - put the f@cking cap back on, asshole - so how come the big campaign of a few years ago hasn't righted this glaring wrong? Is it time for another or do these figures go back a while? (Or maybe it's time for a new excuse?) 30mph - just don't do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Particularly not in London - try 60, hardly anyone crashes in London at 60! Oh, a third thing - chosing Bridlington to be in the North East rather than Yorkshire here might not be a great first line of defence under actual driving conditions Mat, but riding north rather than west for your days out might indeed be a wise choice   Rodge Post edited by Rodge on 17 Sep 2012 - 09:17  Author  Post     mat1600  Thunderbird Reg.

I do normally find myself heading north anyway for my rides out.   My first natural instinct is to breathe. My second is to evade tax's.  Author  Post     Rodge  Set Reg.

Don't blame you, but it's a lovely part of the world in all directions from you really (although I'd give east a miss if I were you - what with all the chromework, eh?)   Rodge  Author  Post     mat1600  Thunderbird Reg.

However there's probably few motorcyclists in the region as they tend to drive tractors or combine harvesters over there.   If only I had a bigger garage  Author  Post     mat1600  Thunderbird Reg.

But how do you quantify IDIOT DRIVERS???? At least you all have it easy. The answer is to always do more than 30MPH!! But didn't know you guys could read MPH.   Bennington Triumph Bash - 31May-2June 2019. Home of the (tied in '14 & '15) US RECORD T-BIRD FLOCKING!!!!! Link  Author  Post     LeBigMack  Set Reg.
