Was he a "one percenter" Steve? I was driving to work on the "Western Ring Road" here in Melbourne early one morning, and a biker on an unmuffled fatboy frightened the crap out of me as he split between me and the car on my right at speeds well in excess of our 60 MPH.
Shortly afterwards, the traffic stopped, which is not unusual, even though the "Ring" is supposed to be a freeway. As we crawled along I could just see some flashing red and blue lights ahead, and as I pulled alongside, I saw a slightly damaged Fatboy on it's sidestand, and a body under a blanket nearby.
It turns out that the biker got knocked off his hog by a car that was merging into the right lane as he was roaring up between the cars, and he got squished by another car that he fell in front of. Good thing was his bike didn't look too bad, so no biggie, I guess..........
