Is that your fellow biker?

    Only after my comment was it established that someone knew them.
    From memory...you were only too happy to RIP the guy in CH CH before you knew who it was? Double standards anyone? Anyway...my bad. I say for now bad buzz...and stay safe out there.

    You know what Pete, good point. Double standards on my part. But I'm allowed to change my beliefs, and after Joe's funeral I did. I felt cheated and ripped by what he did, and me being cut up about his death, only to find it was through one of the most stupid acts on that street that I could think of. After we spent time together mentoring young riders at Ruapuna, reinforcing to them about not riding like that around town, after we spoke at length about time and place.

    I've dealt with it, but I won't let myself be sucked into that again.

    We're all allowed to change our minds and views mate. But sometimes (most of the time in my opinion) it's best we do it in a more appropriate place.

    I will also get slammed for saying RIP to the fallen rider, but I say it loud and mean it. No, we don't know who it was. No, I hopefully will not know them after the name is released. But as a rider who very nearly put her family through this very same situtaion I feel so heavy for them tonight. Of course people are dying in many tradgic ways every moment of every day. But my thoughts are with his family tonight. I think about my family each and every time I get on a bike now, and what my parents would go through if I were to make such a mistake again.

    We all have our own opinions. That is just mine. Different from the next person, absued by another, supported by someone at some point. I just hold my breath until the name is released, as I fear I would not have the strength needed right now if it were a friend.

    Damn that's scary. I actually rode over the hill at about 2.45pm today.

    RIP

    I hate that hill. TOO many times I have come across people on MY side of the road...I ride slow and careful but many many others on that road don't - that goes for cars and bikes.

    I love that road myself. It's not a road to be disrespectful of at any time but the technical nature of it makes it one of my favourites.

    Condolences to the friends & family left behind.

    Biker Down threads are always problematic, as this one proves once again.

    We don't have any details of what happened to cause this particular fatality. Presumably those details will be made public by investigating authorities in due course.

    While people may wish to mourn a "fellow biker", they should realise that there are other members who see little value in offering condolences for somebody they do not know who died for unknown reasons.

    People grieve in different ways. Those who have died are gone. Our thoughts and concerns are better directed to people who remain with us, including the friends, families and loved ones of those who have died. At the very least, comments should be respectful of those people and what they need to do as a consequence of what has happened.

    I've only ridden over it once and that was enough for me!! I'm sure that no matter how many times someone rode that hill you could never consider the riding space predictable. Am I right in thinking that it's a road that you choose to ride (as opposed to having to use) i.e. a road you are more likely to use for recreational riding? (dorky Aucklander question here). Damn shame that someone has come to grief on it - "unforgiving" is the word used earlier to describe it, and it sure was today.
