Yo, i was going down the A6 from Buxton to Matlock (staffordshire for those who dont know it well) and we had to stop due to an accident, air ambulance was jsut landing as we got there. Coppers told us it was a bike apparently.. So we chilled out sitting on a bridge for a bit talking to other bikers coming down the road before turning around

Been trying to find a bit of news about it but cant seem to find anything. Does anyone on here know much? and if it was a biker, i hope he survived...

It's very sad if it's fatality on that road, but the A6 is usually very over-policed (Inc helicopters I believe).

Matlock is usually a biker's wet dream on a sunny day, but it's a black day if someone buys it on there. I've been there many times and it's always a very friendly place. In fact, my best ever ride was on the way back from there on my own once!

RIP just in case (I hope not)
