Posted: 14:16 - 06 Dec 2017 Post subject: 'Hero' biker... |
|
|
I'm really sorry if this is a repost but the search function hasn't helped me find anything.
So from what I can make out this is a chap who has been riding inappropriately for the conditions so has crashed and really hurt himself. However because he didn't injure any cyclists, nuns or kittens while crashing he is a 'hero' and is getting an excessive amount of media coverage and general good will from the public, none of which seem to criticise or even really mention his riding on the day of the collision.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-42246312
I recall the Pistonheads thread by the chap, who skidded on a corner in his car and ended up on the wrong side of the road seriously injuring an oncoming biker, as he recounted his time in prison and the effects it has had on his life.
So is the difference between a 'hero' and a 'criminal' just down to pure luck on the road? |

Add in the injuries and the fact he isn't a member of BCF, doesn't worship nobcat or want ste for mod?
Of course he's a hero, mumsnet would agree. (and Adam, although if he had been wearing rainpal.....) ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |
