Karma perhaps?

It makes no difference what any of us say ....A poor mother has lost her son, a father has lost his son.

We've all done bad stuff in our lives, we've all made fuck-ups. This young man fucked up. He was young and had so much to learn, he learns no more.

I hope others of his age may learn from this....

not just people his age should learn from this. EVERYBODY should. just cause youre 45(for example) doesnt mean youre excused.

Stolen bike?

That's the point when I stop caring about what happens to the rider.

Another bad thing is Nick Smith will be rubbing his hands after reading the article even if the bike is stolen or not I'm sure he'll use this as ammo.

Yup, not only will it be used as a motorcyclist statistic, but also will be used to paint us all as a group of bloody Larrikans...he was probably just a thief who took the opportunity. I am guessing he was not an experienced rider

Just as well the bastard got killed then...otherwise he would have angry bikers to contend with....and Nick Smith knows how scary they can be

And not just "someone's" bike, but this one: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...d.php?t=115120

And now we know.

I have absolutely no symphaty for a bike thief. None!. They can all be raped in hell daily as far as I am concerned.

My point was always this: On here we make assumptions and jump in boots and all before we have the facts.

What will it take for you to "know" these facts that have been released by the police? You accept his death as fact but not the fact that he was evading the police and had stolen someones bike?

The death IS a fact.
The rest is conjecture. He probably was evading the Police. The plate came back to a stolen bike - probably it was the same bike too.
He's dead, so can't be asked what his intent was, as far as accelerating hard. He may not be the one who stole the bike. It is possible that he bought it, not knowing otherwise. The pillion may never recover, or remember, or even know what was going on.
The bike itself may be the same stolen one, or just the plate from it - we might find out in due course.
So - the only known fact is...the rider was killed. And the pillion was stupid enough to get on the back without a helmet.

And they deserve no sympathy.

End of story.

Correct. At least in this case.
Probably...

Life's too short to wait for all of the relevant information. It's the KB Way.

Hit and miss. But at least we said our piece!

He is dead for Fxxx sake.

A bike can be replaced (even a Triumph)

I don't think I would be that judgemental if that was my son or nephew being a pratt...

I would say I am shocked by the callousness some people on this site display but sadly I am not

Fast bikes without the experience on it are dangerous.

[RocKai]

That bike looks Orangy to me.

And this thread is funny, bar the dead guy.

[PrincessBandit]

Obviously it's easier to be hardhearted when it's someone we don't know, most people would change their tune if it turned out to be a relative of theirs (especially a close one).
Having said that if each person who has said "no sympathy" can say "I would have said that even if it was my brother or son or daughter" then they can be quite justified in making the comments they have.
