2 dead in one day on roads

[Cajun]

Just watching the news two dead on motorcycles in one day on the roads rear auckland, one on a 03 gsxr100 (silver) and another on a older bsa/triumph sorta style bike, cops says speed was involed in the first crash.

Do we know if they are any kbers?

To rest be safe on these roads this xmas, this time of year, alot of cage drives start turning the brains off. and are worse then normal they are holiday mode. Espically in busy tourist areas, around the kopu area etc.



Be safe

Personal i don't do any long distance riding from pretty much 15-12 untol 15-01 due to to many close calls over this time frame by people on holiday.

[Cajun]

The guy on the GSXR 1000 died from a cardiac arrest. Not sure weather that caused the crash or weather it was as a result of.. will post more as i find out.
Hope he wasnt KB'er.. dont know any that have silver gixxer thou off hand. Funny, me and death went thru there twice today and seen nuffink
750y only person i know of with a silver 1k

Yeah well they say he ran wide on corner into a 4wd so i think it might have been after the fact

[k14]

Crap, there was 2 guys that i rode halfway back to te kuiti from taupo and both of them were riding GSXR 1000's. One was grey, not sure if he was a kiwibiker or not, (the other guy was a kber from hamilton, can't remember his handle though). Dang, hope it wasn't him. What time was it?

[onearmedbandit]

From the news report it looks like, and police claimed so, that the rider (Gixxer thou) crossed the centre line on a left 35km/h posted corner, coliding head on with a 4wd. My thoughts are with both riders, their families and friends. Take it safe out there, theres fuck all difference between 'shit that was close' to 'oh shi...'.

The guy on the GSXR 1000 died from a cardiac arrest. Not sure weather that caused the crash or weather it was as a result of..Yer will they didn't say anything about that in the News. Here was I thinking that the f*cken Idot had over cooked the corner. Don't I feel bad now.
The Other bike looks like a Norton Commando (hope that was not one of the Cambridge CC's I know). Always sad, but hey that's part of the risk we take riding, a:(

[Kwaka-Kid]

Thoughts are with the close friends and families of both riders.

A bad day. Again no words will fix this. Take care and slow down till after the holidays I say. :crazy:

[Joni]

This is so sad.
Be safe out there guys... too many people pushing their luck at the mo on the roads! The crazy season...

Thoughts with the loved ones of the 2 riders.

[TwoSeven]

I dont know how one can say someone died from a heart attack after they have been hit by a 4wd car. As far as I know it would take a post mortem to discover that wouldnt it ?

[onearmedbandit]

Maybe died while paramedics were attending, and they could call it.

[ajturbo]

yep i have slowed down ..top only 140 today over taking then back down to 120-25 AND i have the best detector!, picked up a speed camera as i was over taking a van..saw the van ( with the camera )first went past WELL below 110 !!! the detecto went crazy!..

but yer people the cop who i was talking to on saturday said theat they are looking at ZERO tolerance till end school holidays.... as he was writing out my ticket,,could have started it on sunday eh!

[750Y]

THANKS Nope no info as of yet i don't think nothing in paper either

from stuff.co.nz '
A male motorcycle rider died after crashing in the Auckland suburb of Swanson at 1.30pm yesterday, police spokesman Jayson Rhodes said.

No other vehicles were involved in the accident and speed did not appear to be a factor, he said.

A post-mortem examination would be conducted today to determine the cause of the man's death.

His name would be released after police had contacted his next of kin, Mr Rhodes said.

A second man riding a motorcycle was killed in a separate accident near Pukekohe yesterday.

No further details were available.

can't much else out anywhere, ya can't get hold of ya mate, or his gf/wife or anything?

[750Y]

thanks N, no i can't get hold of them at all & i know he'd have contacted me by now if he got my messages. hopefully it's just a case of circumstances, will have to wait & see.

[Cajun]

thanks N, no i can't get hold of them at all & i know he'd have contacted me by now if he got my messages. hopefully it's just a case of circumstances, will have to wait & see.
Sweet as, hope ya hear from ya mate soon, with all is well

[ajturbo]

[Ghost Lemur]

Nothing worse than the wait and the worry. :(

[crashe]

I hope that you hear from your mate real soon.....

Can ya pop around to his place and leave a message on his door.
As he may have lost his cell phone.

[crashe]

Which area/suburb does your mate who rides the GSXR live....?

Maybe someone in his area could pop around to check it out for you if he lives too far away from you.

[Yokai]

Man - 750Y I really hope your mate's Ok... Anything we can do to help?

[TwoSeven]

Its a pain in the ass knowing there has been an accident while people you know are out riding - especially if those people are prone to having accidents. I've gotten used to the 'ring' the phone makes now.

[750Y]

thanks for the replies people, I'll be going round there after work today. He's another mostly solo rider like myself. i'm sure he's fine...

[Sniper]

Hope all is well mate. Fingers crossed aye

[MSTRS]

Yeh it's a bugger orlrite, but we all know that the reaper will get us somehow. Personally I'd be quite happy to go of old age causes on my bike. :doctor:

A post mortem is required and the cause of death is not pronounced until the coroners inquest is complete.

[sparrow_34]

The rider has been named in the NZ Herald:

"In another crash George Young, 49, from Glen Innes in Auckland, was killed when his motorcycle collided with a four-wheel-drive vehicle near Pukekohe at about 11am yesterday."

[RiderInBlack]

No

Its called post traumatic cardiac arrestDam, it's been too long since I've Nursed. I forgot that the most common cause of death is cardiac arrest (heart failure). What causes the heart failure is another matter (heart attack, blood loss, electicial shock, etc.). Still sad. My thoughts are with the families and friends.

[Ms Piggy]

Very sad and very sobering.

Life is too short aye. Just before I left fro my ride on Saturday morning my Aunty sent me an email about a very close friend of hers who had just died of cancer, it's not motorbike related death but, it did get me thinking and even though I didn't know her friend very, well I had a little cry. Just b/c loss/death is a sad thing - obvious I know but...yeah.

Yup, make the most of everyday, live your dreams... let the people who count know they do!! You never know when one of the people you really love can be taken from you!

Very sobering Cathy!

Its always sad when someone dies before their time. My thoughts also go out to the family and friends of these two riders.

Not to take anything away from them, I'm so impressed by this tread - this site. That KBers look out for one another is cool.
Yesterday I took a ride to Taupo; my 2nd and longest ride so far (thanks Twinle). My plan was to use it as a pre run to riding to Ahipara for Christmas weekend. But now?...hmmm...Drive? Would I be one of those 'lights on but no-ones home' cage drivers? Perhaps not I say. I hope the rider in me would not let the driver in me leave the lights on when I'm not home.

RIP

[750Y]

well it wasn't my friend after all so i heaved a really big sigh of relief. Unfortunately it's someone else's mate/brother/father/cousin/son/uncle/grandfather. I know there'll be some sad people out there at the moment. Please ride safely people, life can change forever in a split second.
thanks for the replies all...

[Yokai]

So did I just now... Glad your friend is Ok

Unfortunately it's someone else's mate/brother/father/cousin/son/uncle/grandfather.

Yeah - wherever they are, my thoughts are out there with the friends and family of both parties involved in the accident. Guys'n'gals - as they say on Hill Street Blues - "Let's be careful out there".

Not to be morbid or anything, but I thought it would be cool if we had a Honor Board on which we could put our biker mates who have pasted away. On this we may honor them by remembering them as they lived, born ride.

[Kwaka-Kid]

Rider in black mate what an idea!
im with you bud.

[scumdog]

Very sad and glad I never knew the dead guys, life is SO short.

BTW, My job makes me a bit callous (sp) and it takes reminders like this to make me realise the value/precariousness of life.
(after trying to figure out where bits of skull go on an "ex-person").

Too much Export here for sense.

Very good idea. I would be all for that.

Brilliant idea.... hope it gets off the ground!

[chic 'n' charge]

Wicked Idea - well done!! I think it's fantastic that there are people using this site that are caring and thoughful - you should be proud of yourselves.

My old Mooo is a good sort and she pleads with me to go for a "bloody ride" from time to time. :spudwhat: If more people made a nuisance of themselves around the house they to would be free :innocent: :bye: :niceone:
