Why do people insist on posting EVERY news article about a dead biker?

Possibly because they might be concerned if it's someone they know from here, otherwise it's just another statistic.

A biker dies every day in the UK, give or take, so maybe we could just have an "Is you dead?" sticky for all the random ones where we've got no grounds for believing that it was anyone that we know.

I didn't realise that rage and immortality were interchangeable. Interesting Thinking

Rage has saved my life on more than one occasion. I'm not looking to have it change the game-plan at 70+ though. Jesus, the very idea! Laughing

I've only ever read one news article about a dead biker, this one, so I posted it. Don't get the problem.

If by "learn" you mean "speculate and argue wildly about the causes until we're all individually convinced that our own preconceptions were correct" then sure, we can do that like gangbusters.
