There was an article on the BBC the other night about the woman was was killed by a bike at Bassetts Pole. The outside reporter was live at the Waterman in Warwick & said: "in a few minutes, there will be around 3,000 bikers arriving here, all of whom will leave here at top speed racing through the countryside later tonight" Unbelievable

I think by what local peeps say, that this was nothing more than a road traffic accident. What has made it worse is the fact that an innocent pedestrian has been killed. I believe she was standing with friends on the L/H side of the sharp right hander outside the pub with which a very very small minority like to show off, getting there knee down. If anything goes wrong for whatever reason, be it car,bike or whatever. It will end up right where she was standing. Her poor husband must be going through hell.

Just been on the local news. The rider is being charged with death by reckless driving. The women was a 37yearold mother of two.

R.I.P.
