Time to rent cars to tourists. May be one of the few things to save tourism. Won’t happen though. Maybe they can improve public transporta….. oh wait, nevermind.
Who said they were tourists?
Read the article mate. No tourists involved.
According from the statement those involved were all locals. “the motorcycle rider and pillion passenger, a 72 year old Paget man and an 82 year old Devonshire woman respectively”
Who gets on the back of a bike @ 82 yrs old?
OMG!! I was wondering the same thing……
The only bad thing other than the accident it seems is that the bike riders came across that ‘disoriented pedestrian’! 82 y/o and fit enough to get on the back of a bike and even 72 y/o and riding a bike…”I glory in your spirits” and may you all have a speedy recovery!
These seniors are not merely existing they are “living”…that’s what I am talking about.
Perhaps they can’t afford any other means of transportation. I doubt an 82 year old lady CHOOSES to ride a bike….
I hope they make a quick recovery.
Heal fast folks !!! How brave of you to ride a motorcycle! God bless……..
Wow you lot act like 72 is OLD….!!! Wait till you get to 70 and tell me if you feel old… Its all in your mind young ones.
Get ya old a$$ off dem bikes
Sounds like the bike rider picked himself up a cougar!
Hope everyone recovers well.
