But he was a cop rider. They are the epitome of riding brilliance. How could this have happened? Although looking
at the road where it happened it seems likely like myopic 91 year old may well have pulled out into his path, and he's
ploughed into driver door offing her as well. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

That was the passenger, driver not 91 presumably. |

From the passenger seat? Poor obs.
Doubtless the crème de menthe of riders, totally appropriate speed for the road conditions, riding exactly as he'll have ordered so many lesser riders to do, and so on.
Liveried cop bike, or stealthmobile, I wonder. Not that it would likely have made much difference as <nasal whine> if they don't look they won't see </nasal whine>, but I'm just awaiting the day when the Safety Elves call time on bike Dibble.
Given the rate at which they seem to stack themselves, the fun can't continue indefinitely, right?

Might be this junction.
What speed BCF do? |
Well, obviously BCF would be doing 150mph on the back wheel, and so would have been long gone before the car pulled out anyway.
As to mere mortals, I would advise taking the bus. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

That setup is a classic for right hand turn across oncoming traffic, would explain passenger side fatality. ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4

The copper who stopped me said I'll likely chuck my bike down the road at some point "because the way I ride" (FYI I apparently accelerating "hard" in a 20 but he couldn't actually tell me what speed I was allegedly doing).
I'll save this article on my phone so next time a bored copper pulls me I'll say actually, according to this article, statistically, police officers have had at least one more fatal collision than I have and are therefore shittier riders.
