My hypothesis is........6 bikes bunched up & giving it some.......car pulls out & first 2 bikes dont have a chance.
The rest manage a little braking but pile in at a slightly reduced speed.
Could easily be total bollocks but that's my tuppence worth guess anyway.
It is a shame for all involved & obviously a hot story amongst us bikers but i really wish more news coverage was provided on the outcome of the police investigations so that we could all learn from them.......i havent read a single story on the news about the outcome of last years accidents.....no doubt somehwere innthe archives or on some obscure website.

Perhaps the most important lesson could be keeping greater braking distances between bikes on ride outs. I know this is easily said and there is an assumption that the road a head is clear so there will be no need for emergency braking.
