Biker taken out

[xr-rider]

I say "appear" as that is what some of those who saw it happen are saying in the comments and replies under the article including a cop.

If anyone knows him I am sure they will post if the family needs anything, hope so anyway, aye.

Our prayers are with them all.

i know a family friend of him. i wont give to much info at the moment. but the family sound like they are coping with the change

sweet as, let us know if we can help.

Spoke to a young fella I know who is up with things. Bloody crazy bastards...

I kind of know the guy on the bike , he did a brief inspection of my gixxer when i bought it. It really saddens me because his life is ruined, unable to do his job now because of injuries, he was also getting married in feb. My mums friend was behind him when it happened and tended to him untill the medics got there.

Now what really pissed me off was that the driver a young woman supposedly did not even come over to see if he was alright and out of the six youths in the car only ONE came over.

I really do hope the cops fuck the driver over HARD, and ruin their life just as she ruined his.

I agree - she deserves to have the book thrown HARD at her. Blair was the totally innocent party in this incident. Didnt deserve the horrendous injuries he has suffered which will totally change his life.

Yeah its a bad one all right. Not much coverage on it either. I mean its as bad as that thing in chch when that kid got killed by the boy racer... worse in some ways...

If theres anything us local riders can do to help him out, maybe nows a good time to start thinking

Eight die as car ploughs into cyclists

Sadly an all to common theme way too prevalent here- recidivist drunk/disqualified drivers who continue to be over represented in the fatal crashes. They deserve to be taken off the road or taken out.

i know the car, i know who owns it. the person that caused it was trying to drift

It would appear the rider was stationary and the car swiped him.

Now if all of these are cold hard facts, then I agree entirely with the sentiments being expressed at the driver.

I would like to ask everyone taking part in the speculations on this thread to back off a little bit. I won't contribute to the rumour mill, but not all seems to be as is presented here. Suffice to say that a car that hits a motorcyclist as the result of being hit by another car may not always be at fault.

These are not facts. These are chinese whispers.

[Lurch]

These threads are so predictable. I think we should just start them in advance. Think about it if everyone right now makes their own biker down thread about themselves then they can control the way it goes down and then all of the people who jump all over these threads can be told to gtfo because it's your thread, and you were there man, you were there.

[Phreak]

As Hans said, I think it'd be best to wait until the full story emerges, before blaming anyone. Rather that, than persecute someone that may or may not have done any wrong...

My thoughts are with the rider. Be strong mate, and pull through.

[MSTRS:Me]

Seems to me that regardless of what happened, we're seeing a theme here...

Car and owner 'well known to police'
Car and group associated with it's owner 'known to locals'
Car 'pink stickered multiple times'
Car 'has plates that don't belong to it'
Motorcyclist totally innocent - wrong place/wrong time.

A little bird told me these shits are associates of the asshole who killed himself on the stolen Kawa in Palmy. The same bird also tweeted about them being in for a world of hurt, cause they involved a kid of a local Bad Man in the crash. Good luck to them.
