We just had a fatality up this way, poor guy riding a bike was killed. I haven't driven in sydney for yonks but from memory the drivers were ok. Up here some people think they are the only ones on the road.

People pulling out in front of you is the most common and, when you inform them of the error of their ways, they always say the same thing.. oh, I didn't see you. FFS I am 108 kg on a loud red bike with its light on.
Yeah, you didn't see me because you didn't look!

I feel for anybody who dies or has a serious injury. Without suggesting either this person or Ian were riding recklessly, motorbike riders do seem to be a particularly fast, reckless group of road users (literally as I thumb this out during my bus ride, there's a dude going ~120km/h through a school zone (I'm outside Radford, near the Raiders' home stadium) on his motorcycle. He made a hell of a lot of noise and would for sure be a fatality if he came off. I encourage all riders to slow the fark down and be more careful (rather than blaming drivers for their woes), particularly given they are vulnerable and only have 2 wheels.

According to Trent in the Roosters media interview, Ian has had his second operation and it appears things are going well so far.
