Murphy rode diagonally across the carriageway into oncoming traffic.”
He says while Frankie was a skilled rider, his ability to steer would
have been “greatly diminished” and the braking “dramatically reduced” by the fact he was performing a wheelie. I hope the family have fridge-freezer insurance to pay the motorist's costs. https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news...uyton-16483414 |

Nugent will confirm this. |

Nugent will confirm this. I can certainly confirm that I have rarely seen a more silly remark here than that of yours. A 10-yr-old (or perhaps more pertinently, an average 13-yr-old) could do better. |

Have you READ the report of the Coroner's enquiry and conclusions? No, of course you haven't. |
