    What the hell is happening to this world??
    And the worst part is one involves the police, we just don't need any of that, none at all. Weather he was in the wrong or the right we just don't need negative press on the police, it serves no one.
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    +1 on that one. Probably one of those things where a split second either way and everyone would have been fine . . .

    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    At the time of the accident the Chatto Creek prize giving was in full swing. So no 1000 miler riders involved.

    Straight around the traffic...and onto the bridge..
    Red light and all.

    Condolinces to the bikers who passed away.....

    Oh definitely a bit of both. Possibly on the part of all involved.

    Certainly a possibility although the bike wasn't in view at the time the cop slowed to make his turn, possible high speed from the bike? I can certainly understand from the cops point of view, locks in a speeding vehicle, clear to turn & whack!!!

    Didn't look like the best place to be making a U-turn, IMHO.

    From the shots I saw I would tend to agree, but not enough info to make that call 100%

    Bad buzz. R.I.P to the lost ones of course, but it's the loved ones left behind that you've always gotta feel for more.
