Doesn’t seem to have been as bad on the A65 between Skipton and Kirkby Lonsdale this year. Normally you can guarantee a succession of nutters or worse a whole pack of them (with the last couple inevitably overtaking late into blind bends to keep up.)
It’s either natural selection or they’ve headed down to Rivvi, by the sounds of it.
Never understood the attraction of the A65 to bikers. Horrible, boring road.
If they’re on the A65 they’re probably on their way to Ribblehead & Hawes as there’s always some sort of congregation going on over that way, certainly on the road out of Ingleton or on the Horton Road. We were on the A65 yesterday going to visit friends in Long Preston, multiple daft overtakes onto crests on double white lines, lots of traffic both directions and a couple of very near misses. Not far from the Hellifield turn off, lo and behold two bikes, that had overtaken us earlier, up against the wall with a car stopped with the back end smashed in.
