I've had a few mates, thankfully all survived, that have been in bike accidents that have involved elderly car drivers, not jumping to the conclusion that elderly driver was at fault here Stef but in all cases that my mates have been caught up in it involved drivers just pulling out at junctions without checking properly. Sorry to hear that this incident with your mate proved fatal Stef

No good at all. Another biker gone. This is the reason I stopped riding on the road, too dangerous. Condolences Stef, sad day

Doug, as far as we have been told, the 80yr old was pulling out of Drumlanrig Castle & pulled right out on top of Michael.
Find out more as the week goes on.

Thought he was going to pull through as they air lifted him to the southern general in Glasgow but sadly his injuries were too severe..

Lets hope it's not another case of them 5 words that every biker hates "sorry mate didn't see you" something has to be done about car drivers in general to educate them of their surroundings, sorry stef this makes my blood boil I have lost 3 mates the same way. I won't rant anymore.
