Write-up on this in todays Dominion. (On-line version http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post...e-motorcyclist )
They seemed to make a big deal of the "powerful" bike he was riding. Used it's name "Hornet" almost in a perjerative way.
Also, they used "motorcyclist" instead of "biker" to describe the rider.
(They seem to use "biker" in a story that's "good" - like "bikers raise cash for charity" and "motorcyclist" where the story is "bad".)

I think the worse part is, that motorcycling is in the spotlight yet again..............
Last of a dying breed
Nope. The worst part is that there is a dead rider, be that for whatever reason.

Well, both reasons apply
The metal is always nude.
I think there was no need to see the smashed up Hornet in the paper.

Agreed - but that is what the papers do

I see they've also reduced the size of the bank he went over, now down to 10 metres (was 15 the other day)

Nice read,
But it all sound like to much shit for me to take in, Like the motorbike doin 150kph and the police car following 10seconds behind at less than 100kph...FCKIN BULLSHIT MEDIA AND COPS LYING !!!!!!!
Kicka your a fcking dick and I hope your next to DIE !

I live in Johnsonville, and at ~4pm the place is getting busy. People cross the street inbetween the 3 traffic light controlled crossings. Max. 35kph is the fastest I travel at unless it is quiet then 50kph is fine. Otherwise you will hit a pedestrian sooner or later.
I am amazed the police blasted through there at "under 100kph" at that time.
I'm not sure I agree about increasing fines causing more runners. I don't know if you have the time to calculate the fine. Runners probably just think "my bike is powerful enough and I can ride well, so I can lose the cops".
I'm not condoning the rider's actions and I feel sorry for his friends and family.
I'd like to know the chase criteria the police use. The end result is a dead rider and lucky no innocent bystanders hurt.

RNZ news this morning was talking about making a three year jail sentence part of the penalty for doing a runner...idea borrowed from the Ockeralians I believe...

That makes perfect sense. Once you've started running - no fucking point in stopping until you've gotten away clean or killed yourself.
When will these tossers realise that just instating new more comprehensive laws with tougher penalties does not work?
