Like Okamoto, I also spotted a Falco in same sort of area late on Saturday afternoon, but not sure I was too happy about this one.
Had been on a good run to Caistor and Willingham, then came back via Gainsborough and Newark. Go back to Ollerton roundabout on the A614 at just after 4pm. Things were pretty chaotic as the police seemed to have just shut the north bound A614 off the roundabout and were diverting all traffic up the A616 towards Worksop. Couldn't really see any reason for this but the traffic was pretty hectic. Then I noticed a red Falco parked in a strange position on the outside of the roundabout. Couldn't see any obvious damage as I rode past, but nobody in bike gear to be seen, and not where you would ever choose to park a bike.
Started thinking as I got near home, wonder if the bloke riding the Falco had been in an accident and that's why the road was closed.
Really hope not!

This was a Honda 600 tho.

Very sad.
That's just north of the roundabout so sounds like this was the reason for the road closure, perhaps the bloke on the Falco saw something and had stopped to talk to the police, just can't see why he parked it there on the roundabout, it was just at the side of the roundabout at 90 degrees to the road, you'd have to bounce it up the high kerb.
There were hundreds of bikes out on Saturday, probably first run out since last year for many of them, but most seemed to taking it fairly steady (ish).

... and another fatality near here today - someone from WestMidlandsRiders forum. I'm not a member of that forum myself but think he was known to a few of the CoventryBikersForum that I belong to.

A sad end to a beautiful day.

.... and one near here too. Kawasaki XR400 (sic.) at Badingham Nr. Framlingham Suffolk on Sat pm.

This unseasonal weather seems to be taking it's toll.
