OUCH!

Sheddy:
Up until last year I was 24 years served on two wheels.  In that time I had 11 accidents, two of which were my fault of which one was me arsing around.

I packed in riding for two especial reasons, one being that since becoming a Daddy, my life now has a value.  The other reason is that EVERY time I went out on the bikes I had cause to take evasive action either because of a real dangerous manouver by a car or a perceived imminent hazard.  The standard of driving has got to be such that I no longer consider the thrill of riding to be worth the risk and worry of being on two wheels.

Glad to hear that the biker involved in this collision got away relatively unscathed, but for his own well being and his families peace of mind, I surely hope that he re-assesses his level of riding competency before he gets on another bike.  Looking at the road layout and conditions that accident should never have happened.

I know it has been said that the sun may have been in his eyes causing him to squint, but if that were the case then he should have slowed down to allow for his impared vision.  Looking at the damage caused, he wasn't hanging around.
