As usual the media will portray it as the bikers' fault...... "Those damn bikers doing the speed limit and behaving well!!! The poor ute driver on the other side of the road speeding and those riders didnt move"
Thoughts and prayers go out to friends and families of those who passed.......

Shame that "The ute driver, a 31-year-old female, and her male passenger were also treated for minor injuries" didn't actually read:
"When Police arrived, the ute driver, a 31-year-old female, and her male passenger were found suspended by piano wire from adjacent trees".

Knew the guy well. I'd see him on my way to work in the morning and have a yack at traffic lights, as bikers do... Happy-go-lucky bloke that worked in Kogarah bike shop.
RIP

I can't picture the road, but if it's a straight section of tar, how did they not see each other????

Mate, you can only see things on the road if you pay attention to what is going on. There are more and more f*&^ing zombies driving around doing anything but - mobiles, i-pods or make-up kits..

I can't speak from personal experience, but isn't it a tad difficult to put make-up on with ya full face helmet on????

I don't know the full story to this unfortunate situation just yet, so I just wanna extend on what some have already said.....
RIP to our two fallen riders that have passed over to the next realm and sincerest condolences to your families & friends....and commisserations to everyone else involved in this tragedy....

Disobeying road rules, reckless driving ocassioning in a death - that's a prison sentence. If it was my mate, I'd be going for nothing less. Watch a vaguely skilled lawyer get them off anything other than a road ban.

+1 to that.
I always think of the decision that a single person can make in a split second that can ruin and end so many lives. Such a sad thing to happen.

Its so sad.
