Guy probably still would have died if he had obeyed the limit though - bloody stupid place to do a U turn.	Greven (91)

I guess the federales will work out his speed at impact if he was hooning over 100 kph he would be at blame for the crash. My reasoning if he had not been speeding the fed could have pulled the u turn and the bike wouldnt have been in the area at the time. I aint no saint I used to wind my Commando up to over 110mph no probs and my Z900 bored out to 1300cc used to check its tune by doing 200kph. Although the speedos may have been a bit optimistic. When I was teenager in Mot I rode my Norton at 100mph with pillion thru a 10 mph zone at the Kina reserve. I dont care about this guy for speeding if indeed he was its just a fact of life riding bikes on the open road. But dont heap blame on the fed he is probably at an all time low now.	prefect (6291)

Not only is it preposterous that he can claim to gauge the speed of a motorcycle he never saw and knows nothing about (like exhaust note) but in case no one noticed he also claimed the back of the police car was ripped off, which is clearly not the case. As for the cop, he should be at an all time low, A man died due to his actions.	Metla (12)

If you were doing 120Km/h down the motorway and you were killed by someone throwing a concrete block off an over bridge, would you accept it was your fault because you were on that piece of road? To take it to its next logical step, Would you be at fault for leaving home when you did rather then waiting another few minutes? The courier driver shot dead by the police, should he have had his travel time examined to see if he may have been speeding before arriving at the scene where the police killed him? The speed of the motorcyclist may have contributed to the severity of the injuries but was in no way responsible for the actions of the police officer. The Police officer should thank god it wasn't a stock truck coming over that blind crest or a family in a car.	Metla (12)

I dont know about that Metla. we get a driver down our road in the early hours of the morning occasionally, you can definatley tell by the sound as he goes past and wakes the whole neighbourhood up he is doing well over 50kph. It also has that distinctive nissan turbo sound. Probably a Laurel or Cefiro. Once awake i just wait for the crunch as he misses the corner at the end. If that ever happens i will get out of bed in my pyjamas and run down to laugh. You are correct in what speed they are actually doing is impossible	Gobe1 (6290)

Also if he was travelling at 100 he would not have been in that same time or place, what if the sky was made of candy floss, you could argue this forever. Stock truck, interesting concept lol	Gobe1 (6290)
878136	2010-04-21 22:37:00	I have never been known for rational thinking. Maybe the rest of the world is mad and I am the only sane person? Yeah I know fat chance. Just trying to point out that when speeding on a bike it has consequences specifically death.	prefect (6291)
878137	2010-04-21 23:06:00	Speeding on a bike causes death? How long have you been dead for?	Metla (12)
878138	2010-04-22 01:36:00	What about speeding on bike can cause death. I have lost 2 mates in bike accidents although one was pissed and speeding.	prefect (6291)
