First of all I will send to all the related friends and family members of Adrian my deepest feelings.To receive that news on the fone must be devastating!
On one hand biking is serious and as seen dangerous business.That is why also atracts some people to do it.(at least for me plays a part)
We know we are exposed to many factors that involve fatal endings.We must remember this all time(if posible)
I never met Adrian and probably missed him by little as i visit dakarmotos regulary.
I have seen more fatal endings in the last two years,probably because there are more people crusing around with bikes here in the south.(many lacking road experiences)
I will point that bike riding here must be taken with maximum care.You will be faced with sudden factors that in the more "civilized" countrys are more rare to find.Cows,dogs,chickens,big stones,broken down trucks,diesel,oil etc etc.
We don´t know yet what happend in Adrian´s last moments and why he crashed that way.
As Javier recomended,take it easy.Use your experience and follow common sense before going on the road.Sometimes is not on our hands....
Remember most people here drive by mood and not respecting any law.
Again my condolences to those who suffer the lost.
Karl
