Biker killed on “flat out “ ride

A biker was killed in a crash on a twisty stretch of road described as a good spot to “go flat out” by motorcycle internet uk.

Now councillors in Caradon Cornwall, want the web site shut down after the 45 year old rider hit a truck on the A 374 near looe.

Thanks to Deej for making me aware of this story.

Very sad. Typical knee-jerk reaction.

They are obviously not concerned with the facts that he was a local on a daily commute route ............ one can understand the concerns of the council, but not their inconsiderate use of such a sad event, so soon

I thought the article in the weston morninng news painted a bad picture of Frank too!

I think you all now know what my reply is:

I wont say it again on here.

Typical press, trying to put a sensationalist spin on this tragic event.

A mans life has been lost, yet they fail to realise a few important things:

1. Frank didn't discover this road on any stupid website, it was his daily commute.

2. The actual cause of the accident has still to be established. The press have automatically blamed speed/fast riding (which makes their story sell more), rather than wait for the outcome of the investigation.

Their complete insensitive attitude toward the recent event and their complete lack of truth in their story makes me very very annoyed and angry.

That makes me sick, with no background on the causes they assume such circumstances. We shouldd push for a published apology on that.

Cheggers, spot on.
Plus that newspaper is full of sh*t anyway.

Arrh, winds me up a treat, no one even seen how frank rode, and no one can accept that accidents happen, someone ALWAYS have to place the blame on someone who cant defend themselfs.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, p*sses me right off, happened to my mates that actually died up the road, just by windy ridge.

i've just read the one in western morning news, i dont think they should be able to get away with printing stuff like that. its just sheer sensationalism...i've just written a letter to the editor anyway, maybe others might want to as well..

this is typical tabloid "anti bike " material . would they be so quick to condemn a car driver??? i expect that you all already know that answer.
i feel sad and appaulled at just how the tabloids can slander someone, with complete disregard for the feeling of the family and friends , without having all the [u]FACTS[/u]
i am sure you are all with me on this !!!

people who knew frank will know the story is full of bull and that the paper is just pushing for sales.

RIP frank (top man)

Afraid they are a typical tabloid press in that they have to embelish any stories they receive to sell their tatty topless ladeez type paper. They are 'The Sun' for Sunday and I never give it the time of day.

As others have already mentioned. Not one mention of the fact that Frank used the road to 'commute' to work.

The paper is pathetic.
