    Heading along the A414 towards St Albans saw the road closed northbound and lots of police cars. One biker beside his bike looking shocked and a car with severe front end damage and a bike in the central reservation upside down and smashed up. Its a dual carriageway with roundabouts every 100m or so, looks like a car had pulled out on one of the bikes sadly :(

    One up here at the weekend.
    Young lad on his KTM near Ayr. Sounded like a head on as well.

    And a friend of the missus came off on Sunday too, but thankfully is ok.

    Terrible one last week at Portlethen near Aberdeen,looks like bike travelling along dual carriageway and car pulled across his path. Impact that bad car burst into flames.
    I accept we all need to take care out there but there seems to be a lot of homocidal idiots out there who seem incapable of seeing anything smaller than another car,and unfortunately it seems to be getting worse.

    I was near taken out by a tractor on Wednesday night,
    me and my brother went for a few laps of the UPG and
    came up on the main straight and a tractor was waiting
    to pull out.looked him square in the eye and I know he seen
    us two coming but the moment he looked the other direction
    I knew what he was doing.if it had of been someone not paying
    attention they would have been under his wheels when he pulled
    out.cant think why some people have a total disregard towards
    other road users.
