Yes, It just happened around the corner from us. The rider was being an idiot. Fell sorry for the driver of the car and the riders family. A few more bikes on the road this week and non were doing what this dick did. Darwins Law in action.
Yep - Tragic all round and I suspect this won't be the last such incident we see in the coming weeks/months post lockdown.
However you've got to love the quote - '...must have been doing at least 130km/hr...' Really, so you can magically tell how fast he was going can you? Stuff - Not letting the facts get in the way of a good story for as long as anyone can remember
If he was hauling arse (to be confirmed) I am impressed by the structural integrity of the Honder. Side intrusion bars seem to be worthwhile

So that means dick in SUV
Can just drive in front of him does it.
I seen this young man because.
He owned same 1997 Honda
Cbr 900 rr as mine,
Yes the headstock was riped out the
Frame wheel forks connected still.
That intersection notorious.since
I moved here in late 80.s
Everone quick to judgement.
So assuming none of you done
Anything fun in your lives.

Think was him going way to fast,
But he was in complete control.

Thank you. I was same situation.
At same age but was very lucky.
I was doing 60 kph .
Told cop when asked me he didint,
Worry as was car drivers fault.
As in this case .no don't about it.
The bike can accerate very fast.
I totally Belive is dangerous intersection,it's two lane each side
Main route out Palmerston North.
Why you want traffic crossing two ,
Lane then doing hard right ,with no
Merging lane is mad .

taking that 130kph number (again, unproven) that is 36m/sec. Count one mississippi two misssissippi three mississippi and he has gone longer than a rugby field. a 747 wingspan is slightly shorter than this at 68.5m. So in under two seconds this guy IF travelling at 130kph travelled the wingspan of a 747.

No the dick was riding the bike far too fast in a 50kmh zone....He's just won the Darwin Award...
The SUV driver was most likely thinking the bike was doing 55-60ish or so which quite common on that stretch of road.... Oops Also it is a well known problem intersection. And there were witnesses most probably a few most probablly on the side walk on both sides of the street as well as other drivers.. As mentioned I live just around the corner off Vogel Street. I use it quite a lot.

If you decide to do circa 130kmh in a 50kmh area, be prepared for other motorists to be checking for traffic at less than half your required range before they pull out.
Using those quick mental time distance calculations we all use when about to pull out of a give way, the motorist would have been caught completely off guard.
