  Thanks for the info there Sheila. Sorry to hear that. I always have a lot of sympathy for the difficulty of the motorcyclist in general.
  Hope the rider makes a full recovery.

  Is there a name yet? One of my former neighbours moved to Christchurch Way a few years ago and was a keen motorcyclist, along with his wife. He would have been about the same age as myself. I'm reticent to say the name of my friend in case I'm worrying for the wrong reasons.

  I hope this helps Paul. The person who gave me the information is the friend of somebody who lives up there and that is all he told me, so I assume the rider was not known to them.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  The rider comes from New Romney, and works locally, he was on his way to meet up with friends, they all go out to the Adelaide cafe on a Wednesday, and have a bikers get together, I do not want to put on here, without permission

  Thanks Sheila, that answers my question. The main issues however are the injuries to this rider and the police investigation into how it happened.

  I have been contacted by a family member thanking us for our best wishes on here and asking us to pray for the rider concerned who is still critical. The family member has also asked that I remove one post as it may be upsetting to the rest of the family when they see the thread. This I will do now. The name of the rider is not being released by the Police at this time.
