2 dead in one day on roads

**Cajun** · 12th December 2004, 17:05

Just watching the news two dead on motorcycles in one day on the roads rear auckland, one on a 03 gsxr100 (silver) and another on a older bsa/triumph sorta style bike, cops says speed was involed in the first crash.

Do we know if they are any kbers?

To rest be safe on these roads this xmas, this time of year, alot of cage drives start turning the brains off. and are worse then normal they are holiday mode. Espically in busy tourist areas, around the kopu area etc.

Be safe

Personal i don't do any long distance riding from pretty much 15-12 untol 15-01 due to to many close calls over this time frame by people on holiday.

Crap, there was 2 guys that i rode halfway back to te kuiti from taupo and both of them were riding GSXR 1000's. One was grey, not sure if he was a kiwibiker or not, (the other guy was a kber from hamilton, can't remember his handle though). Dang, hope it wasn't him. What time was it?

From the news report it looks like, and police claimed so, that the rider (Gixxer thou) crossed the centre line on a left 35km/h posted corner, coliding head on with a 4wd. My thoughts are with both riders, their families and friends. Take it safe out there, theres fuck all difference between 'shit that was close' to 'oh shi...'.

Yer will they didn't say anything about that in the News. Here was I thinking that the f*cken Idot had over cooked the corner. Don't I feel bad now.
The Other bike looks like a Norton Commando (hope that was not one of the Cambridge CC's I know). Always sad, but hey that's part of the risk we take riding, a

Thoughts are with the close friends and families of both riders.

This is so sad.
Be safe out there guys... too many people pushing their luck at the mo on the roads! The crazy season...

Thoughts with the loved ones of the 2 riders.

I dont know how one can say someone died from a heart attack after they have been hit by a 4wd car. As far as I know it would take a post mortem to discover that wouldnt it ?

**onearmedbandit** · 12th December 2004, 22:02

Maybe died while paramedics were attending, and they could call it.

**ajturbo** · 12th December 2004, 22:54
