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.
