...what an amazing story.

The daughter of Paul Buckley filmed the recovery of his son who was injured in the bike accident that took his dads life. A year in the making.

Interesting story all right.

Watching it, not etirely sure I want to though.
It is quite inspirational, but it is probably my biggest fear that I put my family in that position. Especially when I have my wife or one of the kids on the back.

Very sad story, poor buggers but what a strong family unit.

Probably not. There is some fella lives down that way with the same name that pretends to race an SV.

I recall the KB RIP BS threads that appeared around the time this tragic accident happened.

The doco was an awesome insight into what a family goes through be it a bike, car or whatever accident.

Buckley Systems possibly... Bill Buckley raced at speedway many years ago, and still has a lot to do with racing.

My eyes were also glued to the tv, prob why I can't sleep now... death is such a hard part of living!

Same here, I dont like taking my son (or anyone) as pillion. The road just looks like any other back road we all like riding on, The guy driving the ute just made a mistake with tragic results (for him and the Buckleys)
A very sobering hour of tele. I have been thinking about all day

Ride safe everyone

Starship Hospital staff (in particular Stephen Streat) saved my niece. When I saw her, so grey and motionless, I thought she'd already gone. During the flight from Palmerston North Hospital to Starship they simply poured units of blood through her, many of which ended up all over my sister, her mother. When the stretcher was tipped up blood went all over my sister.

I'll never forget that night.

I have another niece who is spinabifida, wheelchair bound, and the Starship staff have done amazing things with her also.

If there's a place where miracles can happen it has to be the aptly named Starship.

Whatever those very special people earn, they deserve more.
