Quite strange, how it could be so serious on a road with a 40mph limit ..... :roll: :cry:

what can you do though?

It's pretty unforgiving up there, if you leave the road there are a lot of large granite rocks to bounce off of. Hopefully they have a quick recovery and the police don't go too nuts in the aftermath of it all.

A head-on collision with both vehicles observing the speed limit would give a closing speed of 80mph - that'd sting a bit.... fingers crossed that both riders involved make a good recovery.

Not sounding good news.
Any crash is not great.
