Nice weather but ride safe... - FuZzBoM - 04-05-14
Hi all, I like most of you enjoyed the weather and got out on the bike today. Just talking to a mate who is a traffic cop and he has just told me about a crash he attended today..

No easy way to say this.. Rider was decapitated. Could not tell me any more details as needs to be investigated but just wanted to spread the love to fellow bikers and foccers alike.
Much love, Fuzz

At the office where I do a little ( as little as possible) work we took on a new young lad and he turned up last week with his references etc. on his new Bonneville.
We had a long chat about how careful you have to be and always be two steps ahead of the other driver.
Heard now that he won't be starting as he T-boned by a woman doing a U turn on a dual carriageway ????
Not seriously hurt, thank God, but smashed his foot and can't walk for a while.
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE............... :eek

Makes you wonder what happened to kill the car driver and remove the riders head?! Think I will be taking it slow if I get out tomorrow..

Possibly if they t-boned the bike and the bike comes through the drivers door.
If it was on a fast road the bike would have enough momentum to cut right through.
Rider then hits the roof lip etc. Nasty
