Exclamation The season has started (in the UK anyway)

Well, after some rather nice fine and sunny weather over the UK this weekend, it seams that many have brought their bikes out of hibernation.

I was out yesterday, early morning (as I often do) for a few hours while the roads were quiet, and I noticed a good few sports bikes. There was some very bad riding, and at speed too. Mis-judged corners, badly timed braking, terrible positioning and mad cow attitudes (for those who have seen how cows behave when they are first let out to pasture in the spring - you'll know what I mean) , I got home and said to my missus that someone will die today.


I hate it when I'm right.

If you are venturing out for the first time after the winter, for christ sake take it easy and get a few hours on the bike under your belt before going mental.

When I say the season has started, I am of course referring to the time of year when we see biker fatalities.
