Thoughts are with the motorcyclist, wishing you all the best
It was an atrocious night to be out – especially to be on a motor bike.
Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.
Hope the motorcyclist make a speedy recovery
How very awful another accident along this road, this is a very dangerous road the speed limit must be reduced along here. Even the tractors with their silage trailers shoot along here at great speed. You cannot get two large vehicles to pass along here. And if you live along here you take your life in your hands exiting your driveway. Wishing the biker a speedy recovery.
What do you mean very dangerousroad. This is a run of the mill normal road. If you think this is dangerous perhaps you should not be driving
