....if I may speak on behalf of all motorcyclists, condolences to the families involved for your loss. As for the incident itself, it is a little different with two machines involved in one crash...the driver of the tanker whom we wish well, will know the answer and reason for the accident, as will others on the road at the time. I do hope to hear the reason for this in the near future, once the Serious Crash Unit have completed due diligence.
