Motorcyclist dies after hitting police car?

[scissorhands]

which is what happens when public transport in many parts of NZ is almost a non option alternative.

its a proven medical fact when old folk lose their independence to get about they go downhill and die.Thats why doctors are reluctant to take away the car/bike/scooter keys.

dont laugh,cos one day it will be you.

Meh, a double bind. Keep riding, keeping riding, keep riding, till when?

You are ageing year by year, increasing your risk and then

It all catches up with you and you have a crash.

Sad day for all, including the police officers and speeder getting ticketed.

Didnt look like a C50 cub, but a twist and go

Fuck we have some nasty cunts on this site.

I hope that karma bites you back as hard as you attacked, then we can all laugh at you and know that you deserved it.

So because I own a scooter I deserve to die....what a sad bunch

No offense but I'm glad your not a mod, maybee once we've done that we can see if we can get our Govt to censor the interwebs for us too
If ya don't like the thread, don't visit it!

There one or two comments on here that are callous, and like all previous threads of this nature, the one underlying fact has been ovelooked............yet again..

''Until the crash investigation is complete, it is impossible to comment further or speculate about how it occurred"

Kinda describes a shit-load of KBers, the non-biker bastards, who do they think they are?

I'm only 69!

We have plenty of Reg-Scotts types in NZ, you meet them from time to time and they don't seem to see anything remarkable about what they have done..interesting conversationalists though... once you break the ice.

So it's better that they're a menace to others and die on the road rather than in bed?

Why not? because he crashed and died? do you apply that reasoning to every motorcycles who crashes and dies in a similar manner?
A lot of it seems to be inside and posting on here at the moment

Your average scooter rider is NOT what I think of when I think of a motorcyclist. I like how the spin that's been put on this has sucked you in. If it said 'scooter rider' rather than motorcyclist I'm sure there'd be half the fuss.

Wow! Do you know this old fella? Or are you just making a shed load of assumptions?
Not every 80 year old is mentally and physicaly deficient.
My father in law (who is in his 80's) still competitively skis and beats the pants off many in their 20's.
We don't know why he hit the cop car, he may have had a heart attack/stroke/TIA or a momentary lapse of concentration.
You, sir, are an arse. I sincerely hope you never live to a ripe old age!

Good for your father in law. He's the exception. If he was liable to have a stroke or couldn't pay attention to a damn police car someone should have stopped him driving and saved his life.

well said. Add to the list of possible medical causes a whole raft of possible physical ones like the yellow lines, possible light conditions etc (refer to owl's post above for an example) and the comments made be people that knew and tried to save him and Sable's troll is just uncouth and rude.

No troll sunshine.

I doubt you think at all...

No, he is not...open your eyes and your mind!
There are plenty around like him...you are just too blind to see.

Why??

[Woodman]

Sable you and all the others on here who are being bloody asses to this guy are dickheads.

So the guy isn't a motorcyclist cos he rides a scooter????? How do you know he hasn't had a lifetime on bikes? How do you know he hasn't toured the world on one,raced one, taught his kids and grandkids how to ride one?

Cockheads.

[Sable]

How do you know he has?
