    The worst thing I hate about this is the fact that this was posted at 11:44 and the accident happened at 11.

    The plate of the motorcycle is clearly visible in the photo. I bloody hope the family was informed prior to this being posted on stuff.

    There is no need to complain, that still doesn't change the fact that the dude is dead.

    Another unfortunate accident. 50 years old as well. Young enough and old enough to still be a son, father husband and granbdfather. Condolences to the family and understanding for this huge impact on their lives. RIP.

    Another biker down, RIP

    Another unfortunate accident in the Taranaki. This is the second fatality in my locale in as many months. Read the link.

    There is another thread on this, but...
    He died when his 1200cc Triumph motorcycle slammed into the rear of a tractor with an industrial-style cultivator on the back after coming over the brow of Big Jim's Hill, just north of Waitara, about 10.55am.

    Police say it appeared the tractor, also heading towards Waitara, was attempting to make a right hand turn into a driveway on the opposite side of the road across double yellow lines.
    How many motorcyclists have to die before people stop doing stupid shit on bits of road with little-to-no visibility (u-turning cops included)?
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Very sad

    Thoughts and prayers go out to the family at this time. What a tragic and terrible accident. Take care out there, there are some shocking looking implements that farmers use on their machines.

    I note the press article says the bike "slammed" into the tractor...no emotive language there, eh...

    The press seems to be incapable of exercising any level of restraint or decency.

    Death by careless use charge ??

    In addition to the double yellow lines the tractor would have been about to cross two lanes of opposing traffic (passing lane on "Big Jim's" hill) and just beyond a blind brow that prevented the motorcyclist from seeing the tractor until (obviously) too late.

    It will be interesting to see if the tractor driver gets a death by careless use charge put on him ' cause it sure as hell appears that he should
