Don't know if anyone else read it, but two Motorcyclists died yesterday on the Eastern Road in Portsmouth. A group of 7 were travveling together and apparently one bike tried to overtake a slow moving Megane. The other 5 were ok, but unfortunatly two were pronounced dead at the scene Sad

Hope that it wasn't anyone from here, thoughts go out to thier families! Thumbs Down

Who?

Millions of people die a day, why do these get a thread?

I don't know them, I don't really care to be honest.

Any more of an idea how it happened? Unless they were going way to fast or were unlucky enough to wind up under a lorry I can't see how that would have happened. It's not as if it's a quick road or there's anything that dodgy on it. Confused

I would imagine because this is a Bike Forum and he fealt the need to share in some bike related information. If you don't care why do you feel the need to reply?

With the greatest respect to the victims of the tragedy, I think these repetetive posts are irrelevant and degrade the forum, and would vote for a policy of deleting them.

Loply I think some of the many BCFers from Pompey might feel a bit differently, especially when it could easily be someone that one of us know.

The thing is, I know a load of people who go on rideouts from a pub in southsea, at the end of the eastern road.. It's unlikely to be any one I do know, but a big group of bikes heading towards a known bike meet pub could mean someone I know Thumbs Down but then it might not! who knows..

Posts like this are irrelevant, and would vote for a policy of deleting them, or any other posts I find boring Rolling Eyes

Why do people feel the need to post opinions like this when the title of the thread explicitly describes its contents?

DON'T fucking open them if they bore you Rolling Eyes

sorry if i have offended a few of you here, my intentios were mainly to check that it wasn't anybody from the BCF and also inform the Portsmouth members, as it it a close to home issue. I know i checked that my mates that ride were ok after hearing this! Maybe im just sad and paranoid!

Don't worry, when you die on your bike and I am at the scene I won't stop for the c*nts that find this boring.

Well if it was you hustler then the thread would be ok but since as far as anybody knows its just 2 random people why does it require a thread, bikers die all the time FACT, we don't need a thread for every single one of them.

These threads do help to put things into perspective. To a small extent they have made me a safer rider, by making me more aware of the consequences of my actions.

A thread about two people dying, isn't the appropriate place for this. If you don't like whats on the tin then don't open it. If you really feel that strongly about the issue, open up a new thread, or a poll, or something, but don't post in here. Show some respect for the dead.
