Is it a scooter or a bike?

[MrGrumpy]

There was a rather sad story in the paper today about a rider being killed by a 4X4 pulling out across him. However, I did find one slightly amusing aspect to the story...the police were asking for witnesses and said that the guy was 'riding a 600cc BMW motorbike, resembling a scooter' !!
The question is then whether its only BMW maxis that are real bikes (even if they resemble scooters) or whether all maxis count!

Sad to hear
And I'd stick to PTW to cover all bases

Is that the head on smash at bishop aukland?, I read about it last night, life's cut short just like that, terrible.
Ride safe everyone.

Tow Law to be precise.

Ah, yes I've just red it in my local paper, he was from sunderland where I live and was ROSPA trained & taught road safety to others, and some 4x4 driver pulled out without seeing him.
A sad tale, R.I.P
