Just watched a guy loose his life under the wheels of a 4x4, run over and dragged up the road after side swiping a car. Helped to move the car off his body. Have to go make a statement later, another visit to the cop shop. RIP stranger Take it easy boys n girls
Blimey fella, horrible that. Take it easy yourself.... Was he on a bike then? His own fault or tragic accident?
It was awful, yes on a bike going a tad too quick for the amount of traffic on the road. Feel for the women who was driving the 4x4, nothing she could do. Yes his own fault but a tragic accident none the less
OMG feel for you mate that’s a terrible thing to have to cope with, a stiff drink this evening and try not to dwell on it. I also really feel sorry for the women driver and the lad’s family. Horrible truly horrible.
Same thing happened to a fella at work couple of years back whilst filtering although not his fault. Terrible terrible tragic accident. Sorry that you have witnessed that mate. Stiff drink tonight. Thoughts with everyone.
Thanks all, just got back in after a long day. Yes Gary it was the Greeba incident, 5 deaths now I think.
Not good mate like others have said dont dwell on it to long, i had to do the same sort of thing once at the TT 2008 did ruin the rest of the week but had to shut it out of the mind as soon as i could.
Such a shame, yet another death at the TT this year, I feel for all involved, it is hard to shut out the images in your head and the questions that keep surfacing in the back of your mind.... You did your best its a terrible thing to deal with but try and enjoy the rest of your time at the TT and be safe My thoughts are with all the family and friends
Im just back from the island after five brilliant days.....and yes im very sad to hear of another tragic loss..... and i know at times its not always the riders fault.... but having done the mountain section a few times it does nt suprise me why so many get injured or sadily killed emulating their heros with what i can only describe as bloody crazy neck and neck racing.... we all love a blast im no different, im not preaching to stop but you wont get away with much on this road if you get it wrong....... this mountain section needs learning first.
Very bad news and of course its now the family that will have to cope .As much as it makes no sense riding any bike once it gets a grip its hard to stop i have lost a mate and had to run the bikes in front of the funeral car (Not my choice but the wifes and family of the dude) i got over it by buying a ZX10 again not ideal but thats life. I wish to point out at this stage that watching the coverage on tv you can't help but note the hoards of leather clad bikers swilling beer down not to mention the amount consumed the night before. This to me is totally unacceptable and whilst it may not be a factor in the recent deaths i can't help but think what the hell is going on!.
