May he rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers go out to all involved. As we approach the spring and the longer evenings, more and more motorcyclists will be taking to our roads. Please check twice and save a life. And for all the bikers, please slow down, just because the bike can do 280km/h doesn’t mean you should. Lets all try survive 2014.
RIP. The N52 between Mullingar and Athboy is a lethal section of road. Don’t like driving it at all.
