Ah jasus... thats terrible! Imagine wanting to get a on a bike all those years and then for that to happen. At least he had his few minutes of freedom.

RIP Mr. Parsons.

Poor guy.

That's terrible.

Rest In Peace Brother

As an old t-shirt (Ogri I think) said ...

"They can have my bike when they prize the throttle from my cold dead fingers!"

Lucky for me, the wife loves bikes. (Makes it more expensive when you've got to buy 2 of everything though including bikes!)

try having 2 bikes ( his and hers) and 2 subaru imprezas ( hers and his !) !!

2 Imprezas now that's imprezive

1 Car, 4 Bikes (at the moment), a daughter with expensive hobbies like her parents!

She likes horses, plays double bass, violin and flute (check out price of a DB!!)
Hence we also have a large bloody estate car instead of something smaller and sporty.
We (parents) also dive (Subaqua) and keep marine aquaria.

Too many expensive hobbies and too much month left at the end of the salary!!!

Sad but even a bigger shock for the guy driving the Range Rover

Tony you just reminded me of another joke

A similar situation as yours, where a guy died on the job, and they couldn't get the coffin lid on, so they bored a hole in the lid, then planed the shaft down flush with the lid so it looked like a knot
