In Threes?

If you read my article 'Superstitions Can Kill You', available here on the UKbike blog, you'll have a fair idea about how I view such things.

So I have to admit that my confidence in my disbelief of a well-known saying took a serious knock yesterday.

'Bad things come in threes'

I'm sure you'll have heard it, but I've always said to people "But that's when you stop counting!".

On Thursday I logged into The Rev Counter forum, to read that a regular contributor - and from what I could tell from his posts, a thoroughly nice guy, had been killed in a collision.

The yesterday I eagerly opened the newly-delivered BMF Rider magazine, to read obituries of two old friends.

RIP George 'Foxy' Small, Bill Nicol, and Barry Pope.
