Took the wife out for the first time on the new Thruxton yesterday, turning off from Woodford on to the Neurum Road just past the Villenuve road turn off near the old qurry we came across a fatal single bike crash, there is a tight right turn corner and looks like the ride missed it and kept going straight ahead into the bush and hit a tree, the cops had the road blocked off and where I turned around seen the rear tail light of the bike the cop told me it was a fatal.
I looked on the police site last night and the rider was a 50 year old so not sure if he was inexperienced, or didn't know the road or if speed was involved, this corner comes up very quickly and is a bit tight but there was no skid marks on the road where if happened other than that its a very good section of road.
My mates and myself have been taking this road for a very long time as it takes you off the main road between Woodford and Kilcoy.
My throught go to his family so sad indeed, I surrpose the cops will hit this road pretty hard now as a lot of bikes use this road and the Kilcoy motorcross track is just up the road from where it happened.
