Tasmanian police angry over risky motorbike riding in online video

(excerpt at end of article)

On Saturday, a rider and his passenger died in Perth (Tasmania) after their unregistered and unroadworthy bike crossed in front of a flat-tray four wheel drive vehicle.

Police say the driver was holding a torch in his mouth to light the way because the bike's lights were not working.

Driving/riding a motorcycle that's not road worthy, without helmets, and while holding a flashlight in your mouth to see... What a nice combination! And I'm willing to consider the passenger as a willing participant since he obviously was fine with the lack of helmets and the makeshift headlight. Thanks, Mike!
