    As in a section to post Biker down or biker killed? Or a section/thread for charity's to help bikers who have lost someone or become disabled due to a accident?

    I've not come across anything like this on bike forums and wondering what your thoughts are about putting into a section/thread about this?

    I think the intention is good, but personally it's not for me.

    Understand the sentiment ... But not something I want to read personally.
    We all know are passion can be dangerous , let our fallen lie

    It could be awkward for the family's too, where some may appreciate it, it may upset others

    I think if I met my untimely death on a motorbike, be it track or road, my family would take great warmth and comfort in knowing you lot hated me as much as they do lol...

    I've seen it on another forum and tbh it's fine by my book, personally I don't always chose to read it but that's me, but totally get it if people want to pay their respects.

    Although sometimes (again just me) i think some things shouldn't be discussed on open forum without any DIRECT knowledge of the facts when some poor dude has just copped it.... How many times have the crash scene investigators given their opinion on here when quite frankly it's totally irrelevant to all parties involved. Just bad taste IMO.

    My thoughts anyway.
