very sobering, how death or serious injury can be but a twist of the wrist away, or a moments inattentiveness :cry:

very sobering indeed. a good reminder to all of us to be more careful out there. it's not just your life in your hands, it could be someone else that pays for your mistkes.

60% of motorcycle accidents are fatal? That seems very high. In that case I have cheated death at least once with 4:6 odds already.

Thanks for the invite Terry, but I'll pass, I don't need to see a bunch of gore dressed up as a warning on bike riding, I fully understand the dangers of bike riding and I do what I can to negate those risks.

Like I said, I was asked by a former member to post it.

I'm not having a go at you, you were asked to post the vid and you did.

I just don't like all these vids that basically say that if you ride a motorcycle you will die a gory death.

I get your point,  but there are plenty of ways to die a gory death and you very rarely see the gory death part when the others are advertised
