Ian Campbell Morris from Wigan, who is described as an experienced motorcyclist, was killed after coming off his bike at a roundabout in Leyland.
Police believe the 35-year-old lost control of his Honda CBR 900cc and hit either a lamppost or road sign. They are now appealing for witnesses.
Just over an hour later, Tanya Blair suffered serious head injuries in Carnforth after falling from her 125cc bike and hitting a tree. As with Mr Campbell Morris' accident, no other vehicles are thought to have been involved.
