I saw a red ute around then yesterday as we were slabbing it after the half way house, one of the riders involved on a gsxr was possibly riding with us through the first twisties before the halfway house?

Yeah I remember thinking it could have been a cop coming the other way, because you couldn't pick it as a ute from the front. The guy with us had a ventura rack and bag too.
Poor buggers. RIP and Condolences to friends and family.

Sorry news.....If it was in Vic the driver would prob get off with a fine and us bikers would have to pay an even bigger levy and we would be targetted in sum operation.
