    Horrible news on BBC Look East this morning, Fatal motorcycle crash on the A47 near Dereham.

    Quite sad news and thoughts are with the poor dudes family. Easter is not the ideal time to be out on a bike due to traffic volume old biffers and caravans just the overall mix is wrong i normaly wait until Tuesday night and its settled down.

    So true Mike. My neck is going to stay firmly wound in and the mountain bike only this weekend. Where I live, this next four days you'd be unsafe in a tank.

    I'm sure all our thoughts are with the guy's nearest and as David asked, a role call would be nice and settling.

    Really sad news, I know the corner well its not a place you could normally speed as its just short of the junction onto the A47. Best wishes to the bikers family and friends

    Apparently it was a 41 year old Yamaha rider from Kings Lynn. Early reports say a 61 year old male car driver has ben released on bail pending further investigation.
