I've never lost anything off the back, is the usual response we often get. #ripley. Look at the state of this load. Blatant #insecureload, with no load security, which decided it wasn't staying on the trailer, mid roundabout. #opsbikes

When it comes to riding, winter layoffs are no ones friend. Skills deteriorate but confidence doesn't. We've seen some shocking riding today on our roads, causing us to intervene and speak with the riders. Positioning all wrong. Filtering on crossings and head on with traffic.
