Disabuse?
Not that I didn't understand your post but I did stall at "Disabuse".

Verb: Persuade (someone) that an idea or belief is mistaken: "he quickly disabused me of my belief"


PS Too many.

A friend of mine was right behind this when it happened and tended to one of the injured until the ambulances arrived.

Her comments were that the person she attended stunk of alcohol. She also saw first hand the spectators abuse at beng held up on the motorway and said it wasn't pleasant.

Thanks Shaun - that's the one I was talking about. Damn good to hear both people in the accident have come away relativly O.K - now once again, we all wait to hear the name of the local rider.

, and the irritant/antagonistic 'spectators' that were telling the injured to 'get off the f'n road man, these people need to get on their way'. THAT made me wild!

And this is meant to be a civilised society - just as well you were on the scene

He was a customer of mine I'd just sold the bike to.

Bugger that's not good

It was the Highway 61 crew. Hate to be the car involved.

if they were riding anything like i have observed in the past,weaving in and out of traffic,cutting cars off,overtaking on blinds and generally being dickheads,(and this goes for all riders not just Harley ones)then i am not at all surprised and have absolutely no sympathy at all

Being just a spear's throw from Horirua, what else would you expect?

mate i grew up there,Champion Street rules OK

just joking-it sucked

[buellbabe]

yeah...........report should read pissed plonkers with oversize egos trying sport bike type manouvres on oversize underpowered poor handling whales may have been a factor in the crash

Yeah...coz sportbikes NEVER have accidents eh????

Those of us who weren't there really have no right to make assumptions. Just because the bikes were HDs and the riders belonged to a gang makes them no less worthy of sympathy. And I extend that sympathy to the people in the car as well.
