Been out today but may manage an hour or two tomorrow. Unfortunatley we arrived on the scene of a bad accident today just before Horton in Ribblesdale coming from Settle. Was told later that the rider died. The road was closed just after. Also not long after arriving at Devils from Sedburgh some other lads who arrived later said that road had also been shut because of another bad accident. Terrible news so be careful out there! The police will be out in a little more force as they are when something awful like this happens. So be a little more wary this weekend if riding that area.
Damn it, always bad news when that happens, we will be riding out from Kendal about 1 PM with some local boys, can meet at Devil's 11sh if you fancy, I will go down there anyway !
Had taken a friend out that used to be a regular rider up there til he had a bad accident near Sedburgh 2 years back on a zx10 (air ambulance to Lancaster etc) He got rid of his sports bikes but kept his Suzuki 1400 for an occasional potter about. He has only done a couple of hundred miles in 2 years and decide he would come with me on a ride out to his oldl haunts. We just pottered along slowly so he could get back into things. Not a good reintroduction to riding really. He couldnt wait to get back home after seeing the accident scene.
Am staying at home and cutting the grass I think today.
