Well this story actually happened to my younger brother a few years ago. I am from New Zealand, from a town or suburb called Torbay which is on the North Shore which is basically North Auckland. This story I am inclindd to believe is true as it wasn't just him that witnessed it but a few of his friends as well and they all claim they saw the same thing.
I can't remember the exact date it happened, but it was during summer. It was a hot humid night and my brother and friends were bored so they went outside to play hackey sack. One of my brothers friends lives on a dead end street so they decided to play in the middle of the dead end as it was just past midnight and there were no cars around.
Anyways they were having a great game when suddenly they heard a roar of a Motorcycle and felt a cold chill, they all stopped playing and looked to the top of the street. The sound of the morocycle became louder and suddenly coming down the street at a fairly slow speed came a huge ass black harley. The biker was wearing full black leathers and a black helmet and they couldn't make out his face. As the bike slowly came down the hill going bout 5-10 k an hour each street light he passed fluttered then died out completely.
My brother and friends were scared stiff and couldn't move, each street light blinked out as the biker came down the street towards them. Then circled round them in complete darkness and slowly went back up the street and as he passed each street light it would suddenly splutter back into life, each light blinking on again as the biker passed it.
Then as he dissapeared my brother and his friends were left there freaking out at what they had just seen, naturally they all made a bee line for my brothers friends house and I don't think any of them got much sleep that night.
So as far as I know its is a true story told to me by my brother and backed up by his friends, who I have known for ages and its not something they would lie about. Pretty spooky hey, maybe Death has decided to keep up with the times and has himself a Harley now.
Thanks
