In fact, it's been turned through more than 90deg, more like 135deg. If a Holden can be hit hard enough by a bike (weighing maybe 1/6th of it's own weight) to move it like that, and yet sustain only relatively minor panel damage, then Holdens must be made of very tough steel indeed.

BTW, these 'facts' that are going to "come to light", where do folk suppose they are going to come from.Only independent investigation will be the coroner, and he'll be relying on what's fed to him by the Police Whitewash Authority. Only "facts" that will be willingly produced will be those that blag the rider and the ute driver.

Ya have to wonder if the old geezer hadn't already been 'spoken to' by police.

Na mate, makes you wonder if the old geezer hadnt already been spoken to by police.

Possibly they relocated him from somewhere else ,house and all.

they started damage control early: every press release mentions this rider as a "former racer", thereby starting the meme that he was bound to be speeding.
I wonder if the car had been hit by a young mother would they say: Jane Doe,former show-jumper....

**mattian** · 19th April 2010, 18:41

its just a fucking tragedy all round. For the biker and his family and even, (dare I say it) the cop. He knows that he fucked up, and now he has to live with what he has done. Nobody involved in all of this mess will ever be the same. It should never have happened and it reminds all of us just how vulnerable you are when on a bike.

If those ment to "guide" us cannot get it right, what chance does a mere mortal have...

Fuckssakes.

It it was blind, he shouldn't have done a U turn there.

It if was not blind, what the fuck possessed him to pull a U turn in front of an oncoming vehicle?

Fuckwit.
