I assisted the Triumph rider who had the oops parking in town, he said his leg gave out when he came to a standstill, he didn't forget to put his leg down.. If you do fine him bear in mind his outstanding tolerance of his wife who just kept asking him "what happened?" over and over, even after he had told her and pointed to his knee.. he deserves some kind of award for that tolerance.. when he saw the damage he even knew exactly how much his broken headlight support bracket would cost ($186 if I remember correctly) but thankfully that was the only visible damage..
aside from the obvious I had a good time on the ride yesterday, I was impressed by the turnout and walked the lineup of bikes checking them out on both sides of the road. I enjoyed the ride, the Pauatahanui Inlet road in particular was great as was seeing the massive line of headlights behind me on the motorway. Thanks to BRONZ for the pre-event meetup and ride (cheers Byron) and to Ulysses for the event.. I loved the pre-ride talk, relaxing and humourous. it is a shame it was somewhat prophetic. my condolences go to the family of the deceased rider and my support goes to those who were involved in, or witnessed, the accident and the post accident situation..
"oh I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?"
