Last night it took me about an hour and a half to get home when it usually takes 20 mins, due to major traffic jams on great eastern and tonkin hwy. I just found out what happened.

A motorbike was travelling along tonkin hwy. a toyota was apparently doing stupid speeds and didnt see the bike and ran into the back of with the front corner of the vehicle. the toyota hit it so hard the bike became stuck onto the toyota.

the male on the bike was thrown of the bike with impact.

the female was dragged under the toyota for around 100 metres.

Trucks travelling along tonkin formed a blockade so cars wouldnt hit the bodys and wreckage.

When the ambos arrived then found the first body (the male) and put a sheet over him as he was long gone.

They got to the toyota and realised the female was still underneath it. So the ambos asked one of the truck drivers if they could use his hydraulic lift to get the car off the body to see if she was still alive.

The truck driver didnt seem to think it would be strong enough but he gave it ago.

They lifted it up and... the truck driver looks down. It was his mum under the car. His father and mother had been riding that bike.

Both killed.

That poor truck driver. What a horrible thing to see.

My condolences and sympathies go out to him and his family.

Two people have died in a horrendous afternoon accident in Redcliffe.

A man and a woman, believed to be aged in their 50s, were both killed when the Harley Davidson motorcycle they were travelling on was rammed from behind by a green Toyota Lexcen about 2.45pm today.

The accident happened at the start of the Redcliffe Bridge on Tonkin Highway, near the Great Eastern Highway intersection.

Police said it appeared the car had hit the motorcycle from behind then pushed it forward about 100m to the start of the bridge.

It is understood the woman died at the scene and the man was transported by St John Ambulance to Royal Perth Hospital, but passed away shortly afterward.

Police said neither were wearing motorcycle helmets at the time of the accident.

Major Crash officers are investigating whether speed may have played a part in the incident.

no helmets?

surely that cant be f**king true !

yeah adoraa - sold my bike recently, Im thinking that perhaps, never know but just perhaps, my kneepain saved me from a bad "off", due to the stupid speeds I used to ride at thru the Hills. never had an accident, but as your skill level improves over time you dont slow down but infact speed up.

wildcat - yeah those sort of replay images in the truckies head will be with him forever. it'll ruin his life. :domokun:

Holey shit i just got a huge shiver after reading that. I cant even imagine what the poor truckie is going through.

There is a way that allows you to not wear a helmet

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
