Ah, actually I did - but tacked it on the Dunedin Rides thread as some of them rode past the crash site while I was there.
Have a look at that thread for a little more info.

It was one of my mates brothers, didn't really know the dead guy though.

Yeah, nothing to like about them. However, I believe they are important as from them we learn.

We learn about vulnerability, we learn about how only 100% attention is acceptable, we learn about how car drivers act, we learn about what doing stupid things means.

When we learn, we understand, we see hazards more quickly, we live.
