A MOTORCYCLIST was badly injured when he lost control of his bike in Cliviger, police said.

The 21-year-old man was airlifted to hospital after coming off the bike as he drove along Long Causeway at 11.15am yesterday.

Police said he lost control on a bend and fell off as the motorbike hurtled over a wall.

The bike was later recovered from a field.

No other vehicles were involved.

The injuries were thought to be serious, but their extent was unknown last night.

The road was closed while an accident investigation took place.

Any witnesses are asked to call Burnley Police on 01282 472132.

Why is it strange two bikes were recovered? Two Riders, Two Bikes.
It is quite fair to say the other rider was shocked by the events that took place

If you read the report properly it states that "no other vehicles were involved" yet two motorcycles were recovered from the scene, one severley damaged, the the other less so. This is what strikes me as strange. In the aftermath of this accident which happened about quarter of a mile from my house it was plain to see that another vehicle WAS involved. This is why I expressed my opinion (to which I am entitled, even if you don't agree with it) that I felt it was strange that the LET should say that no other vehicle was involved. Having said that, when did the LET ever let the truth get in the way of a good story?

There was NO damage to other motorcycle. He simply put the bike on stand after stopping. they were out together, but only one rider came off. The other rider had no part in the accident. these are my two best friends involved.
