It's never good to see a fellow human being injured in a road accident, let alone another biker.
I rode home one day to find my route closed by the police, all routes round it choked completely.
When I got to work the next day found out another guy from my work, and who lived half a mile from me, had been side smashed by someone pulling out of a junction.
He lost his leg from the knee down, and was paralysed from the chest down.
A young man of amazing spirit, courage and humour who was told he would never walk again, even with crutches and calipers but he found a laser treatment clinic in France, we raised some money for him to go across - a pittance in the scheme of things - but he has stood on two feet and taken steps.
It's a terrible thing to happen to anyone, you always wonder how you would cope yourself.
Every day I take extra care going passed the site of his crash. There but for the grace of God and 10 minutes.....
