Superbikers Killed

Two members from the Kedah-based StarBikers club, Mohd Mumtaz (the club's president) and Mohd Shahrirman, were killed at Kilometre 119 of the North-South Expressway (near Bertam) last Saturday.

The news had it that Mumtaz, who was on a Yamaha R1, rear-butted a container lorry and lost control of his 1,000cc machine. That sent him screeching against traffic and to the shoulder of the other side of the highway, and man and machine burst into flames.

Shahrirman who was on a Honda CBR400 on the other hand, was either travelling too fast or too close to Mumtaz, collided with the latter. The Honda travelled a further 100 metres from the spot where Shahrirman fell. Both died on the spot, while the lorry driver continued to drive happily towards Butterworth.

Moral of the story:
Speeding kills, but it's always safe to speed on a container lorry!
Ride safe guys, and no doing 110km/h on a 100cc scooter ever again, no matter how your inconsiderate mate challenge you! And my deepest condolences go to the families of the deceased bikers. R.I.P.
