Dont take it for granted

  1. saw this on the 100% forums ,

    Even though the weekend weather is great and most of us are out and
    about, I'd just like to send my deepest sympathy to whoever's
    relatives of a biker that died yesterday....

    I was coming back towards whitchurch shropshire from a good day out
    with kids and on the way back a motorcyclist was behind us waving to
    the kids etc and then he over took....in less than two minutes down
    the road he was dead.....(tractor turning right)

    Even though I know it happens and more so in good weather...I heard of
    another since in Oswestry which also happened yesterday...I felt
    really choked by it and cant get the image of his mate kneeling over
    him with his hands on his head......shouting somebody help......

    I could see there was nothing that could be done and I would have
    stopped but as there was several others around, including a
    cop.....and I had my 8 year old in the car I just kept going....

    My heart goes out to his family and the others...

    Just a reminder of how life throws these curve balls at you

    No, I'm interested. I want to see how you can possibly make rational
    decisions day-to-day while constantly being thankful that you're still
    alive and fearing DEATH is round every corner.

    In the shape of porl.

    "Death is round every corner"? Bit of a 'sweeping' statement surely!

    In the year 1995, nearly 500 people in the UK died in stair-related
    accidents.

    I wonder how many were riding bikes at the time?

    Gosh! So someone you don't know nearly saw someone else you don't know
    die.

    Blimey. That's made me reassess my riding style, and no mistake.

    Hey, thanks mate! You might have saved a life here.
