My wife stopped to give assistants as the ute driver was in severe shock as he did not know what had just happened... the boy was only 24 years old and lasted only a few minutes before passing.
His mate on the other bike was off to the side with no one offering him any comfort in a state of shock as my wife thinks the kid that died was trying to keep up with the older more experienced rider.
As my wife was trying to clear the roads so the ambo's could get through people were telling my wife off????? F$Łking dickheads!!!!!!
The poor bloke is in a state of shock and this will never leave him.... my wife is deeply affected as she watched the whole thing happen and to see the boy half inside the ute was horrific..!!!!!
You guys just need a change of luck at the moment ...... hope your wife & family comes out of this OK , and also everyone else that was involved that appears unhurt on the outside....

Tailgaters are what sh*ts me more than I can express.
When we lived in the Blue Mountains and worked in Sydney, I used to have my fair share of those nitwits who love to stay less than 2 metres behind you, even though you are cruising at 110km/hr or more.
I recall one day after a particularly sh*tty day in the office, I was headed up the M4 and had this bloke in a small-ish sporty looking tincan glued up to my tailpipe. I did all the normal good citizen things like moving out to the far left lane, gradually slowing and other "friendly gestures" but to no avail.
As my blood pressure rose, I reckon the twit was trying to be funny because he only came closer. I fact, he followed me from the middle lane to the far left land and only shortened the gap.
So I increased back up to 110km/hr just to see him even closer. I was driving a manual 3.L Patrol - well kitted on 33's etc and was cruising in 5th at 110.
When I finally cracked, I jammed the Patrol down into 3rd and dropped clutch. This resulted in me dropping the speed from 110 to probably 70 or so without showing any brake lights.
It was an absolute pleasure watching the twit swerve and fight the wheel behind me trying to avoid a read-ender that would have all but wiped out his sporty tincan and left him at fault.
After this, he kept his distance well and faithfully and didn't come anywhere near me on his way back home to mummy!
This is definitely one of those "don't try this at home" things though

Yup tailgaters make my blood boil very quickly.
I don't mind so much at work, since they are playing chicken with all of 30T of truck. My current truck at work, has a very effective exhaust brake. Once that kicks in, no brake lights are on, and the car behind me tickling my tow bar gets a nice little surprise.

So the wife had one of her blonde moments and decided to iron on some transfers using the kitchen table that has a glass top as the base...
