Not a good look or news comment

Newspaper yesterday - Maybe someone on the ride would like to make comment

Northland road policing Senior Sergeant Ian Row said the man's actions were commendable.

"This is exactly what I would expect good people to do. He acted with intelligence and urgency and although he could not have saved her life, he preserved her body."

Row said other road users were not as helpful, including about 12 members of the motorcycle event "To the Top". Not only did they not stop to help at the crash, but they also ignored a police officer trying to stop them.

"They simply carried on their merry way," Row said.

Yeah, arrogant bunch of cunts eh? I saw a bunch of them carving up the traffic at the kamo rd/ bypass intersection in the rain and it was only a short while after that I heard the sirens going on SH1 and the hikurangi Fire station. To be fair there were so many bikes heading up, there is bound to be some dickheads...

Alternatively - twelve motorcyclists were lucky they were five minutes late leaving their meeting point ........

It's dangerous out there. And another life lost on the road this year unfortunately.

and yet no mention is made about the 10 SUV s or 12 utes that drove past as well

It is interesting that motorcyclists got singled out for a telling off (and surprising one did not stop).

Their were a truck load of riders up here for that run, Cruiser riders. I met quite a few heading north and quite a few heading south over the weekend. I had the impression they were generally on top of the game but a few stuck out as fuck knuckles. A minority, no doubt. Such is life, even on forums.

Maybe the motorcyclists did not stop out of fear of being labeled rubber neckers.

what a fucking stupid comment. Did you not read the article (amazing for someone who constantly posts I read somewhere, I heard somewhere, someone told me, it has been said, etc etc etc)

Not only did they not stop to help at the crash, but they also ignored a police officer trying to stop them.


They were asked to stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are the ultimate fuckwit

Nah - it was a group ride so by your own logic no motorcyclists stopped because they were pressured to keep up with the pack. :rolleyes:
