Katiepie graduates

[Gone Burger]

Hello lovely people.

I'm grinning from ear to ear. I have just passed my full license!

Was a bundle of nerves this morning, and had a few issues before the exam. But all went very smoothly indeed and I made it!!! I'm simply thrilled and rather proud of myself. This is something that I never thought I would do. And all of a sudden the wonderful world of motocycling has taken me by storm.

I have never been so happy or excited, what an incredible world I seemed to have discovered.

And the bonus of no more tests really is quite lovely. Pressure off, now it's my time to relax, enjoy, upgrade and live it up a little! Not mention, have some serious fun.

Today, is a very good day. :woohoo:

[Sentox]

Always a good feeling to be done with the testing phases. How did the hazard identification phases go?

[blackdog]

congratulations! :beer:

now the fun can really start:)

was in at wmc this morning, theres a nice z750 i thought i could here it calling your name :lol:

[Lurch]

Congrats!

Now you can legally strap both of the Keeway's together!

[Gone Burger]

A very good feeling indeed. Feel like a proper grown up. There was actually only 2 sections of hazard detection. And being sleepy upper hutt, there was very little going on at the time.

[Gone Burger]

congratulations! :beer:

now the fun can really start:)

was in at wmc this morning, theres a nice z750 i thought i could here it calling your name :lol:

As you say, now for the fun part. the z750 sounds like about the size I'm thinking about looking at, thanks for the thought! Will head out soon enough and begin to figure it all out. Some sexy bikes out there, almost too many options.

Congrats!

Hahaha never in a million years. will be sad to see the Keeway go, but I couldn't be more ready to move on. Hey, I hear you have a lovely bike that you are happy to let grown ups like me ride.... ? Just kidding, I couldn't beat your wife to that now could I! :)

[turtleman]

After seeing you ride, I didn't think you'd have any problems with the test

Excellent work, it's a nice feeling knowing you can ride whatever and whenever you want.

So time to upgrade and start learning all over again :yes:

[IdunBrokdItAgin]

Congrats Katie!

Now go find a bike with less shiny bits.

[Mudfart]

You are feeling the thrill of acheiving a well deserved goal. set a new one now, and there will be no stopping you.
the skill you just obtained was not only for a motorbike exam.
good on ya.

[CookMySock]

Well done you. Now you get to see what biking is really all about. ;)

Steve

[Quasi]

Hey Chickie - WELL DONE:yes::scooter::scooter::yes:

we all knew it was going to happen for you. Welcome to this next exciting stage of your ride life. Am waiting with great interest on what the step up will be to.

Dont forget - MonstAs rule....:yes:

[DJSin]

Congrats - I know just how you feel and it's great!

Enjoy the shopping for a new toy :)

[Mom]

Congratulations, it is a really cool feeling when you achieve something like that indeedy.

[Toaster]

Well done biker sister dude person! So pleased for you. Enjoy bike shopping!! The right bike (within budget) will feel and fit right.

Dont forget to try out the demo bikes on Monday at Manfield too.

[Sentox]

Dont forget to try out the demo bikes on Monday at Manfield too.

Que? What are these demo bikes of which you speak?

[carbonhed]

Well done. That must be a real buzz... so what kind of two wheeled mayhem is catching your eye?

[Quasi]

Que? What are these demo bikes of which you speak?

last time Freedom Suzuki from Palmerston had a Gladious and a Sv650 to try out

[Lurch]

last time the bike shop from Palmerston had a Gladious and another bike to try out

Oo'er them Gladiolus's are a real girls steed f'sure.

The pink'uns remind me of Ricky Martin...


by moonlight.

[Toaster]

Que? What are these demo bikes of which you speak?

Dunno... all I know is a local retailer is providing a couple bikes to play with. Not sure if they will suit Katie but heck, I will take em around if they let me!

[Toaster]

last time Freedom Suzuki from Palmerston had a Gladious and a Sv650 to try out

Gladius? Nice looking bike.... apparently for chicks. Not sure why they say that, just looks like a street fighter to me. I am happy to wear a pink scarf and ride one if they do.

Cam - youre such a girl! Do you have matching lippy

[Ratti]

Yaaay! GO KAtie. Onya Kitten. Decisions decisions! I'd go with Ben's idea



Congrats Katie!

Now go find a bike with less shiny bits.

But then, I am fond of ratbikes - maybe dont pay too much attention to me! Unless of course you want to join me in the Dayglo yellow HyperScoot brigade?

Cam in pink scarf with matching lippy? Dont forget the mascara, it's all about the eyes this season.

[Gone Burger]

Yay!!! Thank you everyone. You really are all such a wonderful bunch, and very supportive.

Its such a minor thing to achieve in the scheme of things, but for me its huge. I told my grandma (89) today and she just couldn't believe that I had done it. If you new me on a personal level you would know that it really is one of the biggest things I have done, and nothing has ever brought me as much happiness as riding a motorbike.

So thanks - you all bloody rock, and I can't wait to organise some big rides with ya all.

[hellokitty]

:Punk: that is great new katiepie!!!!! You have to test ride that Honda we were discussing a few weeks back - such a nice bike to ride - passing your test, it is an awesome sense of achievement isn't it?

[rustic101]

Well done Katie,

I'll have to look when passing you in the future to see what you are riding ;) or keep reading this thread :)

[nothingflash]

A very good feeling indeed. Feel like a proper grown up. There was actually only 2 sections of hazard detection. And being sleepy upper hutt, there was very little going on at the time.

Yep, did mine in Upper Hutt at the time too. Was like riding around an empty carpark.

Well done!

[vifferman]

Well done, Katiepie! Good for you. :niceone:

[Gareth51]

Motorad have got a Rocket just inside the door with your name on it..................just kidding

Had no doubt you would fly through the test

[Gareth51]

Well done Katie,

I'll have to look when passing you in the future to see what you are riding ;) or keep reading this thread :)

She might be passing you

[Insanity_rules]

Congrats! Very well done. I remember the day I passed my test. It was in Upper Hutt too, and the wettest day for about a year. I was soaked through but nothing could have wiped the smile from my dial.

[Big Col]

Good on you, congratulations Katie.

[Edbear]

Congrats! Very well done. I remember the day I passed my test. It was in Upper Hutt too, and the wettest day for about a year. I was soaked through but nothing could have wiped the smile from my dial.

I remember the day I passed mine. Weather was beautiful, the girl I'd borrowed the Honda 50 from for the test was cute, (My BSA B31 was not really suitable), and the cop was a good mate. Got my full right away...

Mind you that was 1974... :innocent:

[sels1]

Congrats Katie, knew you would ace it:niceone:

Blaardy ell, you really do have excellent taste in motorcycles. Less chrome on this one, but no doubt you'll keep it showroom clean.

[Big Col]

Crasherfromwayback said It perfectly. Congratulations on joining the sports bike brigade.

[Ocean1]

Ah, new toys, excellent reason to be cheerful.


And it's the right colour.

[riffer]

Nice little bike there Katie. I hope you had enough left from selling the house to get some nice leathers to go with it.

- Simon (Gini's husband)

[Gone Burger]

I hope you had enough left from selling the house to get some nice leathers to go with it.

- Simon (Gini's husband)

haha just because the house is gone doesn't mean I am in the clear. Just no mortgage now so everything is sooooo much more manageable. Leathers will have to wait, the cordura will have to see me through the winter.

I went for a ride tonight on the Thursday Night ride... just for a very quiet pootle at the back. Had an absolute ball. I'll be taking it very very easy on this for a good wee while and will book into Karel Pavich's last training session at manfield in May. There she and her fellow instructor's wills help me to change how I ride, how I handle the R6 and what focus I should have. Simply can't wait!

The ride so far? Wowie - I tell ya, I can't stop grinning from ear to ear. From a nervous take off every time, trying to gently (haha gently on an R6?) find the right revs, taking a good few seconds to find where the hell the bloody pegs are. What do you mean they are not out in front of me anymore? But then I sit so very comfortably on it, and I love love love the riding position. The clutch will take me a while to get used to, and it will take me a long time to get past my block on lean angle mid corner. But as soon as she heads into a corner, that smile grows without encouragement, and I know that I made the right choice. It's so light, I can shift my weight so easily on it. I can step off the side of it and push it around. Wow - that's new. Couldn't do that with the M50 (successfully, we all know how that story ends).

I love the revs, its peppy, yet doesn't have to be a cheetah after its prey. I love the weight, the position, the lack of scrapping. I love the colour - yes, I even kept going back to look at that one over other colours. I have transfered my smiley face from Karels first training session onto the rev counter (woo hoo its got a rev counter!) and each time I glance down, I am reminded to smile that cheeky smile, look up and ahead, relax and focus.

Seriously... I think I am in love. I will be doing my first road trip on the up to Taupo in the next month of so. So many people have told me how sore I'll be. But, already I am getting less pain and pressure than I have on the Bully, and think I will get used to the new riding position just fine.

Excited much? Hell yes. My settlement from my house selling and past relationship comes through tomorrow after a 12 month battle. I will be working my 2 jobs for the day and night, traveling by bike if the weather is kind enough, then popping my bottle of champers after the show about 10.30pm. What a week. What a month, and my goodness what a year. But, this is it. It all becomes the past as of tomorrow, and my friends, not a day will go past when I will not be smiling both inside and out. I am more alive than I have ever been. I have my spark back. I can't shake this silly grin... Happiest chick in the world i reckon. I have my two beautiful dogs, the best of friends and a scrumptious family, and the R6 to get my heart racing like it never has before.

What a ride so far... now bring on tomorrow! :done:

[chanceyy]

that says it all girl, its great to look forward rather than letting the past drag you down. Congrats on the new wheels & yup slow n easy is definitely the way.

[Quasi]

Hey Sweet Pea - your enthusiasm and happiness almost reduced me to tears. Its just awesome to see good things happen to good people.
So pleased for you, and it makes me smile to think of the huge amount of fun you are going to have this year. You have had a tough 12 months, but you have never let it get on top of you and now the rewards are all yours. Go Girl and I look forward to seeing this new beast in all its glory.

[Eyegasm]

I managed 8 1/2 hours pretty much non-stop on the Hyobag, I think you will be fine...

Although my arse does have more padding :lol:

[Crasherfromwayback]

I can't shake this silly grin...

Last time I was like that was when I'd munched two pills.:baby:

[rachprice]

Bitchin bike chic! Love it!!! Yay for sports bikes
How do you find the positioning??

And Peter, Peter Peter oh dear!

An update would be good. Hope she heals up quick and is back on a bike soon.

[Quasi]

Hi All - thanks for the concern. As you prob all know - our dear wee katie pie had an off in the Rapa on Sunday. Unfotunately the injuries etc meant she was not in a position to work out where she was. After spending five hours lying injured, off the road, she was found by emergency services at 9.30 and choppered to wellington hospital. She has a broken back, broken neck, broken arm AND broken leg, and a glorious case of gravel rash taking most of the skin of her broken leg.
BUT - you all know our mate well - her spirit is not broken. She will make a full recovery albiet a long slow one. She is known for her patience, so she will survive the recovery, cos she sure as hell survived a horrendous crash.
I spent most of monday at hospital with her and her moments of lucidity were filled with comments about the gorgeous surgeon who operated on her!!
Katie is still pretty out of it, dealing with injuries and a lot of pain. Praise the lord for morphine.
If any other details are required please feel free to pm me and i will reply where appropriate, and will be passing on all your messages of concern.
Carla

[Crasherfromwayback]

Yeah bad buzz. And for sure...morphine is quite good. But hospital food sucks arse. Luckily, the morphine fucks your appetite. A very small lining in an otherwise pretty dark cloud. Heal up soon KP!

Pete

[Geeen]

That sucks!!! Hope Katiepie recovers soon. It always hurts to hear of this stuff happening to another biker:cry: Get better soon.

[Quasi]

Yeah bad buzz. And for sure...morphine is quite good. But hospital food sucks arse. Luckily, the morphine fucks your appetite. A very small lining in an otherwise pretty dark cloud. Heal up soon KP!

Pete

yeah - i did ask the nurses if garlic bread and wedges would be on the menu:facepalm:
Think her food coming out of a plastic bag and getting pumped into a vein at the moment

WHAT?! Nooo. I was just reading how great she was finding her new bike, and now I hear about this. Poor gal, sounds like the worst crash I've heard of, lying for 5 hours with all those injuries! That's shit like you see on "Why I shouldn't Be Alive". Give her my best wishes, I'll be thinking of her.

[Crasherfromwayback]

yeah - i did ask the nurses if garlic bread and wedges would be on the menu:facepalm:

She's such a fussy eater that it'd be the only way they'd get their slush into her anyway!

[Ocean1]

After spending five hours lying injured, off the road

Ah fuckit, I probably passed her.

Give her my best eh?

[Oblivion]

Luck must love her at the moment. After lying there for 5 hours most people would think that the worst would have happened. Good on ya Katie for sticking to your guns :2guns:

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. The guys and girls here at KB are all here behind you so don't be afraid to call out for help when you need it. :yes:

[John_H]

I saw her today and she is well. Asleep on the dope most of the time but OK otherwise. It's a bit frightening seeing her in one of those head braces attached to her skull. I think she will face a fairly lengthy recovery.

[blackdog]

God must have something very special planned for you katie, so hang in there babe we need you.

[doc]

Faark I read this on the xtra news this morning , never thought it was a kb'r.


A dazed and seriously injured woman used her dying cellphone to aid rescuers' frantic search for her after she crashed her motorbike and had no idea where she was.

The 26-year-old crashed her 600cc Yamaha near Carterton, fell three metres down a bank, hit a barbed wire fence and landed in grass.

She called an ambulance at 7.40pm on Sunday, an hour after she crashed, Constable Jill Flower of Carterton police said. "She may have been confused, she didn't know where she was, and there was quite an impact," she told The Dominion Post.

Her call sparked a search involving police, fire crews, ambulance and the Westpac rescue helicopter.

Carterton fire chief Wayne Robinson said the rescue was a race against time as light faded.

The woman talked to ambulance staff on her phone, then by text, as her battery ran low.

New information about the woman's route led to the biggest breakthrough.

At first rescuers were told she was heading towards Carterton, from Gladstone, but they were later told she might have been riding to Greytown, Mr Robinson said.

The woman was found at 9.15pm and was flown to Wellington Hospital with a deep cut on her leg, and serious neck and back injuries.

The woman, understood to be from Upper Hutt, had surgery at Wellington Hospital yesterday.

Good luck Girl.

[White trash]

Went and saw her yesterday too and had a funny conversation with her. Typical Katie, more worried about the dogs than herself so after me and Drew had done a few wheelies in the two person/one fat person wheelschair, went and fed the pooches.

Hang in there luv, alot of people are here for ya and thinking for ya.

That shit'll buff right out.

[carbonhed]

Damn it's just dreadfull reading that list of injuries to someone so vibrant and cheerful.

Thoughts with her.

[Pussy]

Wishing you a speedy and full recovery, Katie.

[EJK]

Horrible to hear but good that she is still with us.

Wishing you a fast recovery.

[Dogboy900]

I read about it in the paper this morning and have been checking here all day hoping it was not someone off here!

Heal up soon Katie, your enthusiasm got me back out riding last weekend re-discovering how much fun it is after not riding for ages. I hope this doesn't put you off.

Take care.

[Quasi]

here she was on Saturday after the fund raiser. Jumped off the bike - "look I can push it round all on my own"

You can even see the grin under the helmet!

Katie is pretty broken up at the moment - but her spirit, enthusiasm and energy are untouched. She is an incredible young woman and she will recover fully to make all our lives brighter

[Cheshire Cat]

First of all, poor Katie! that’s so horrible! Hope you get better fast!
second, hope all you testosterone fuelled dickheads(on other sites as well) are proud of yourselves for egging her on to buy a powerful bike which she had little or no experience with. how pathetic. now look, the poor woman is in hospital and won’t be riding for ages!
hope you're all happy with yourselves.

She must be very proud to have a friend like you. :hug:

@Everyone else: Does anyone want to send flowers courtesy of the people of Kiwi biker?

Some of you are bound to have bigger hearts than wallets. :yes:

Not the time or the place, you obviously know nothing of her reason or on what recommendation she bought her bike. Needless to say it was fully her decision DESPITE a hell of a lot of advice suggesting she try something different. Pull your head in please.

Hey - where the hell did that come from. I think thats way out of line. You know nothing about this. Katie was not fuelled on by anyone apart from herself to buy this bike. She spent a lot of time researching and riding different bikes.Its a smaller cc rating then her previous. She may not have had it that long, but she has been riding it very carefully and cautiously, getting the feel for it, the different riding style, position, power etc. She had also booked herself in for a pro rider day at Manfield. What happened on Sunday was a bloody accident, and a bloody awful one which could have happened to any of us.
Please dont hijack this thread with these unnecessarily comments. We all want to wish good thoughts and love to our mate, not start a bloody war!

[devo]

thats bad bad news Kate :shit:
I hope the gods are smiling on your recovery as they were on your rescue.
Heal soon huh.
Harry

[BMWST?]

really really sorry to hear about this,she was so so happy at the fund raiser.

[gunrunner]

I work with the fire brigade officer that found her eventually , gotta love her humor as she wasnt letting them cut her jacket off her ...
she was off the beaten track to where they were looking but with all her injuries she seemed in fine spirits .
Bikes can be fixed or replaced , Katie dont beat ya self up over it as shit happens to us all . The KB community is behind u 100% in spirit .
Hope u make a great recovery to get back on that horse , all our thorts are with u at this time ..

[hellokitty]

:love: I only know Katie-pie from Facebook and this site, but she sure seems to be a lovely person. I really hope she will be okay :love: Sucks that such a sweetheart is suffering...

[Reckless]

First of all, poor Katie! that’s so horrible! Hope you get better fast!
second, hope all you .............................


Right I'm gonna stop this sorta stuff right here and now if this turns into a typical woulda shoulda coulda KB bitchen thread I'll fuckin ride down and have someones guts for my freckin dinner plate!

Firstly I don't think anyone could hav talked her out of that bike, She had her heart set on it (as much as I suggested other many other options) she wanted to try the sport bike thing. Her decision!
Secondly no one knows what happened and from what I've heard we may never know thats up to Katie if she remembers and wants to tell! End of speculation OK!!!

We all want Katie to read this thread when she gets well enough to log on to see how much we think of her and support her in her recovery!

If you wanna be negative feel free to start your own thread this is a Katie Pie Initiated thread so lets keep it for her!!

Comprehend a!!!

[Cheshire Cat]

Hey - where the hell did that come from. I think thats way out of line. You know nothing about this. Katie was not fuelled on by anyone apart from herself to buy this bike. She spent a lot of time researching and riding different bikes.Its a smaller cc rating then her previous. She may not have had it that long, but she has been riding it very carefully and cautiously, getting the feel for it, the different riding style, position, power etc. She had also booked herself in for a pro rider day at Manfield. What happened on Sunday was a bloody accident, and a bloody awful one which could have happened to any of us.
Please dont hijack this thread with these unnecessarily comments. We all want to wish good thoughts and love to our mate, not start a bloody war!

yes, it was an accident. a horrible accident but some poeple need to open their eyes and shut their mouths.

it was a cruiser for god sakes! you can not compare a new r6 to that! that just shows how ignorant you are. it doesn't matter how many ride days and courses you do its your personal experiance that matters. and you can't say that all the attention she was getting from all these men and the comments they all made had NOTHING to do with her decision. again, proving your ignorance.

[superman]

hope all you testosterone fuelled dickheads(on other sites as well) are proud of yourselves for egging her on to buy a powerful bike which she had little or no experience with. how pathetic. now look, the poor woman is in hospital and won’t be riding for ages!
hope you're all happy with yourselves.

Grrrrr SHOOO!

[chanceyy]

wishing Katie a really speedy recovery & a genuinely lovely person any one could hope to meet .. determined & strong .. so from this she will recover

as for the bike like Quasi said she researched the bike she wanted and is a cautious rider who has covered alot of country over the last few yrs .. accidents do happen but until Katie can tell us what happened we can all only surmise or assume we know ..

quite frankly I am just relieved she had her cell could make the call then was found & will recover .. catch up soon chick & take the time it takes to heal :) :hug:

[Mom]

Very glad to hear our Katie is as tough as I knew her to be. Us little ones tend to be friggen hard core if called upon!

Sorry to hear of the off, I to read about it before hearing directly, gave me a moment of HI FIVE! to think that an injured biker angel could be that on to it as to direct emergency services to her...:rockon:

Bless you Katie, may you heal quickly and with no ongoing complications.

[Cheshire Cat]

Right, the thread is for her, i agree. thats why I'm commenting. these people did egg her on, they're a bunch of wankers who only think with their dicks. yes she wanted the r6 and no one could have stopped her but not everyone can see through millions of compliments to what they were really getting at. The truth is I'm just concerned.
yea go ahead say nasty things about me say im jealous bla bla bla.
I'm not. I don't listen to people i don't know and don't have my wellbeing in mind.

[Smifffy]

I was at the first pro-rider course she did, when her M50 was less than a week old.

Everybody there was impressed with how well she handled the bigger bike, and her general skill.

I have read many of her adventures since that day, and had little doubt that she would make a successful transition from the cruiser to the sportsbike, providing she took her time with it.

We don't know what happened, and may never know. What is important right now is that Katie keeps her spirits up and recovers quickly.

No need to hate.

[Hitcher]

First of all, poor Katie! that’s so horrible! Hope you get better fast!

Let's not play the blame game or speculate as to how Katie came to end up as she did. Accidents often have causes other than ones which some may think obvious and sometimes have nothing to do with either the bike or the rider. Our thoughts should be focused on the future, rather than on the past.

[Eyegasm]

I spent several hours with Katie this afternoon.

Wow, her spirit is one tough cookie. Smiling and joking (I asked if she had any hot nurses!) Mostly annoyed at not being able to move. Busted to bits but still smiling.

She is worried about work :blink: her dogs and nana more than herself which just goes to show how caring she is. It'll be a while before she is healed and I told her she has a few hundred post on her facebook to reply to. Also while I was there I checked her phone for her but it is to overloaded with texts and needs to be read and deleted before anymore will be received.

She told me her hardest fight is yet to come...

...Convincing her parents to let her ride again!!!

[Mom]

Will you stop talking sense please!

[Cheshire Cat]

Spose the red reps i have recieved are from those who want in. pfft. grow up boys.

[Cheshire Cat]

Anyway, hope you get well soon Katie. and i hope you poeple see some sense in what i have said. if not carry on stroking egos thinking you've done good.

[Crasherfromwayback]

I'd say more likely from people that know your timing takes it in the fucking arse.

I saw nowhere in this thread people saying anything of the sorts. If there was, it would probably have been in jest. Not everyone here is a complete wanker. This site is a community. We help people when they need it, and support them in their time of need.

Please don't bring the negative side into this thread. She doesn't need to hear your attitude on saying how her choice was her undoing. Until we have more details don't go off making ill-informed speculations.

[Eyegasm]

Spose the red reps i have recieved are from those who want in. pfft. grow up boys.

No I red rep'd you due to the fact that you do not know what you are on about.

Seriously you need to get more facts before posting.
Go into the hospital and ask her yourself.

And I am quite disgusted in the fact that you think that I only care about her well being because you think I want in.

[Fatt Max]

Wishing you a speedy recovery mate, you are one brave and tough cookie. Take the time you need, you'll know when its all done. God bless and keep you mate, love Fatt, Mrs & Mini Max xxx

Speedy recovery Katie :hug:

[Cheshire Cat]

I never said it was her fault! and i never judged her. and if you people are so fucking offended, you wouldn't reply :facepalm: :brick:

[rachprice]

Spose the red reps i have recieved are from those who want in. pfft. grow up boys.

I gave you my first red rep ever, you don't know her, just because she is a girl doesnt mean she cant want a fast cool bike. Plenty of dudes would have told her to get it if she was a guy

She wouldn't care what boys thought of her or her bike, just as long as she loved it

Most people on this site ride bikes that are much much more capable than their abilities

Pretty sure. I'll take her some of my home made chips she so likes and ask her.

[Fatt Max]

Mrs Max has asked me to add that if you do not get well real soon, I have to tend your bedside dressed in a nurses costume that will be 3 sizes too small, as a sort of 'healing incentive'.

A fat bastard in a very toight nurses costume, nobody wants that

Get well soon

[steve_t]

Get well soon, Katiepie. By the sounds of things, you're a trooper.

Big props to all of you that have gone to visit her. Y'all are awesome! :drinkup:

[Mom]

It is full of folk that wont speak to your face, but will happily type shit that some will consider offensive. Some will even do that deliberately for shits and giggles.

The fact that Katie is in hospital, badly injured, should not generate any posts other than, hope she is well, thank goodness she is ok (sort of), heal well katie.

The whys and wherefores do not belong in here. Infact some would find them offensive. I have my own view about this, I will share it with those that love Katie as I do, and with her, at the next opportunity I have.

For the record.

Katiepie, you plonker! Fancy altering the shape of that lovely bike. So delighted to hear that you will survive for me to hug you (gently if need be) once again. Heal up slowly and well love.

Hello lovely people.

I'm grinning from ear to ear. ... :woohoo:

This quote above is Katie to a tee, always positive. Just a reminder to the person making negative comments at a rather inappropriate time to pull your head in.


Katie, I just heard about your crash tonight via Darryn. I am so sorry to hear about it and pray your injuries are not as bad as reported at this early stage - and that you heal quickly!

I wish we could help but am sure the local Wellington bikers, your family and friends will keep you in good company and care, including looking after your beloved dogs.

Thinking of you. I will await news on your progress.
Take care little biker sister,

Cam.

On a serious note, keep me informed mate. I wish I was still down there to do something useful for her and help out. I know what its like to have a bad crash and am very concerned about those injuries.

[CHOPPA]

Hey thats really sad to hear! I opened the thread and the first page had you showing off your new bike, I flick to the final page and started to get a horrible feeling!! Glad to hear your sorta ok! Bet your upset you scratched your new bike.....

I was out riding the exact same roads on Sunday with my wife on a Harley! I was amazed at the amount of riders out was a bit scary actually just had a bad thought the whole time, I saw a guy on a Hayabusa crash in front of me on the way home as well.

What hospital is she at??

Your continued great attitude is an inspiration katiepie - http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/4798112/You-ve-made-my-day-crash-victim-tells-rescuers ... and I love that your mum knows you are old enough to make up your own mind!!!

After any accident ... or incident people worry ... especially when they haven't fully understood the risks of being a rider. But you know its ok for them to worry it just shows the love that they have for you.

Thinking of you Katie, bum,poos and weez but it only a bike. You are the important piece.

How absolutely gutting!:gob:

I only started reading page 3 this morning when Katiepie had got her new bike. I was getting excited for her and wanting to read more. I almost wish I hadn't.:facepalm:

I'm gutted that I can't say "I'm glad you're not too badly hurt"!

I'm gutted that I was laughing and smiling at page 3, when all was not good further in the thread.

I am however glad that you have spirit Katie and it wasn't worse!

[jellywrestler]

was going to say 'chin-up' Katie, but it looks like it's not that easy.
take care then

[oneofsix]

Sorry to read about this crash girl. After reading how excited you were to Graduate to the R6, then reading about the accident in the news ... bummer. Good to see your attitude is still positive, heal soon, heal well.

[Riff Raff]

I've only met you a couple of times Katie (most recently about 2 hours before your accident), but you're held in high regard by Jimmy and Drew and I've heard a lot about you from those reprobates! As soon as they heard they dropped everything to rush to your bedside - don't think the lawns will be finished for some time now, lol.
Was very saddened to hear of your mishap, but I'm really pleased to hear that you're in good spirits - that will go a long way to helping with your recovery. All the best hun. Our house is wheelchair accessible, so if the hospital gets too much for you in the next few weeks Jimmy and Drew can kidnap you and bring you back here for a wee shindig for a few hours! You wont mind travelling in the back of the TSS work truck will you? They've got heaps of tie downs to make sure you stay in place!

[Quasi]

Well - thats our girl aint it - always thinking of other people. Even as they were wheeling her into surgery, she was thanking them for all they were doing. But great to see that cheeky grin taking up most of page 3

There has been talk of doing a fund raising ride at some stage for the Lifeflight Trust (and others) so this is one way we can all do a little to help the people who are out there helping us when we are at our most vulnerable.

[yungatart]

Heal well Katiepie!

[DidJit]

One more post wishing you a speedy recovery. You obviously have many friends who will help you in your recovery of body, bike and getting up on that horse again. I think many people on this site look forward to hearing of your next biking adventure. Here's hoping it's soon. Kia kaha mana wahine.

[Grubber]

Oh my fuckin God. Jeez Katie you can be a worry at times. Sorry to hear of your big oops! Hope you gonna heal up and get up again soon. Sounds like your attitude is already helping you mend.:yes:
Only just read your green rep you gave me then i read this. What an absolute bugger mate.:shit:

I don't know Katie-Jane very well, but she seems to be a glass half full person, looking forward with the positive comments she made in the stuff article.

We all like to help people we know when things go bad... rather than flowers or chocolates, how about a whip around to help pay for the insurance excess for her R6? I'd be keen to contribute and collect on behalf.

Edit: or the other option is to obtain her bank a/c details and people can just direct credt her account.

Nice to see she's on the front page of the stuff website. Is the expected healing/reabilitation time around 8 weeks? It's a shame she misses out on the last bit of summer.

Wow shocked !!
Thinking of you, Katie. :facepalm:

It was only Sat morning I had a wee chat with her as I was leaving the P n J after the Appeal ride.

[oneofsix]

First of all, poor Katie! that’s so horrible! Hope you get better fast!
second, hope all you testosterone fuelled dickheads(on other sites as well) are proud of yourselves for egging her on to buy a powerful bike which she had little or no experience with. how pathetic. now look, the poor woman is in hospital and won’t be riding for ages!
hope you're all happy with yourselves.

wooo dude that's a bit OTT. The way I read Kitie's post she got the bike SHE had been dreaming of and very one was encouraging her to take it easy for a while, which she was doing.
At the moment we don't know how it happened and I for one will wait on Katie to post on that subject.
At least we agree on hoping she recovers fast.
Voda offered you any any endorsement incentives yet Katie?

[MD]

Never met but that's an alarming story. Best wishes for a quick recovery.

After years or riding all those Rapa roads I would have to admit I would struggle to name any of them or give clear directions as to where I was! Could happen to any of us.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- :Oi:
Ok Cheshire ,
I have knowin Katie for over 10years now & what I have learnt about her is that she does not try to impress people with with objects , If you look back through the posts on KB she has also done her research on bikes it was not a case of hey lets get a 600cc bike so I can go hard out & try to impress the boys , & as it has been stated before we dont know what happend but the 1 thing that I can tell you is that "I" dont believe that she was doing anything stupid , she is a safe rider .

Hay Dave - this is a damm fine idea. She going to be in hospital for a long time, out of work for even longer and she will be struggling. This is a wonderful very tangible way we can help our wee mate, get back on her beloved bike. If people want to do this, PM me or Dave Bullet and we will advise some details as to how go about.

Might be a while before her neck is up for that sort of ride mate.

[MadDuck]

Core blimey. Bloody glad you survived it Katie and all the best for a full and speedy recovery

[Grubber]

Set up a seperate thread with the bank account details. That will save the pm'ing back and forth. I want to give money.

Yup, I'm in!

Hay Dave - this is a damm fine idea. She going to be in hospital for a long time, out of work for even longer and she will be struggling. This is a wonderful very tangible way we can help our wee mate, get back on her beloved bike. If people want to do this, PM me or Dave Bullet and we will advise some details as to how go about.
Thanks - Carla

Apparently the bike is just down the road to me , and what ive been told its in not to bad of shape .

[davebullet]

Quasi is going into see Katie-Jane about the money thing today. She will check KJ is ok with it. She knows KJ better than me and I want to respect her wishes.

I will hold off a new post with a/c details or whatever until Quasi has spoken to her. Either way, we'll let people know and a new post for how to help out.

What a ride so far... now bring on tomorrow! :done:

Only read about the drama last night and have only put 2 and 2 together since logging onto KB just now.
Hoping your recovery is swift and complete, by the sounds of your posts and the posts of others on here you'd be a hard chick to keep down for long. All the best girl.

Just waiting to hear from Quasi. It might be best to DC into Katie-Janes bank a/c directly, then there is anonymity if people desire it and guaranteed delivery (I am a trustworthy person but don't expect people to trust anyone over the internet).

Don't know you at all Katie, but heal up quick eh, seems you had/have a lot of people here worried.

[Number One]

Dammit Katie - very sorry to see it was you but pleased to see that they say you are going to make a full recovery :hug: Do as the doctors say and hope to see you up and on again soon :)

My PM offer still stands when you feel better too!

[Edbear]

I felt sick when I learned about her injuries. I know from personal recent experience what she's going through! :yes:

Dammit Katie I wasn't starting a competition, did you have to top my effort by such a large margin!??? :blink:

I know you have all your friends and family around you, it makes being so far away a bit easier to bear, (sic), and Mrs. Bear and I send you all our love and cuddles! :love:

[Dutchee]

I was at the first pro-rider course she did, when her M50 was less than a week old.

Everybody there was impressed with how well she handled the bigger bike, and her general skill.

I have read many of her adventures since that day, and had little doubt that she would make a successful transition from the cruiser to the sportsbike, providing she took her time with it.

We don't know what happened, and may never know. What is important right now is that Katie keeps her spirits up and recovers quickly.

No need to hate.
Smiffy, you're wrong.
That was the 2nd one she did. The first was on her little Keeway cruiser thing.

Katiepie, sorry to hear about your accident, heal well. Maybe you'll be able to eat a bit more than usual - you're gonna need to, to aid the healing process.

Take care, you have my #, and if you're in Auckland, you still owe me a ride.

In regards to this, are her family down with her at the moment? (sorry, haven't read all of the thread after Smiffy's reply hehe) - and what is happening with her pups?

[cc rider]

Hey lil chiclet

For such a sweet wee thing Katie, you sure can scare the shyte outta folk :shit:
I'm so sorry to hear of your 'off', but heartened to know you are still smiling & being well looked after.
Like myself & many others you have found true friends among the rabble/babble that is KB. Gotta luv that. :yes:

Does anyone know what's happenig with Katie's puppies while their mum's away?

Lots ov :love: & :hug: from over the ditch


It was great to meet-up with you at Paeroa races & look forward to seeing you there again next year. You can join Mom & I for a 'dummy grid' :hug: ... we'll be gentle :blip: :innocent:

Hey all. Spent the afternoon with Katie.
When I arrived lunchtime, she was looking so good compared to when i last saw her on Monday. She had great colour in her checks, was very bright eyed and chatty. Mid afternoon they came to put on her back brace. This is a rigid plastic thing that completely covers her upper torso and attaches to the neck halo. They have said that once she had this on, she would be be able to start thinking about sitting up and moving around etc. Unfortunately the efforts of them putting on the brace really knocked her around and wore her out. She is very vulnerable and will be for a long time.
So - its good to visit, but please dont wear her out, keep the visits short and sweet. Her recovery process will be a long one so theres plenty of time to see her.

Now - I did broach the subject of flower money instead being KP insurance excess money, or whatever, and she didnt really want to do that. But - i suggested she think about it for a day or two first before making a final decision.
Or we can just do it regardless - present her with a fait accompli . Personally - I think we should just do it.
I printed off all the messages pm'd to me and read them to her. She was mighty touched with the care and concern from the KB family. So thank you to all of you from KatiePie
Cheers - Carla

Oh yes - and Dave Greenberg who was the winch man on Sunday popped in as well. He and the rest of the rescue crew are great people. He was delighted to see KatiePie looking so good. She was delighted to meet one of her heroes of the night.

Like this only probably more restrictive for her and the first few fittings are exhausting, too. Good thing Summer's over...

Hello lovely people.

I'm grinning from ear to ear. I have just passed my full license!

Was a bundle of nerves this morning, and had a few issues before the exam. But all went very smoothly indeed and I made it!!! I'm simply thrilled and rather proud of myself. This is something that I never thought I would do. And all of a sudden the wonderful world of motocycling has taken me by storm.

I have never been so happy or excited, what an incredible world I seemed to have discovered.

And the bonus of no more tests really is quite lovely. Pressure off, now it's my time to relax, enjoy, upgrade and live it up a little! Not mention, have some serious fun.

Today, is a very good day. :woohoo:

First I read this!


So... guess what guys 'n gals?

:woohoo:

Was wanting to wait til next Wednesday and just turn up on the ride on it, but I'm simply bursting with excitement and have to spoil the suprise.

Then I read this!

Then I read this! http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/4798112/You-ve-made-my-day-crash-victim-tells-rescuers

Now I am in shock! :sick:

Don't know you in real life Katie but you are so full of life in your KB posts and you have been so excited about your progress as a motorcyclist and in buying your new bike, "I" was even enjoying reading about it and going along with you!

Hang in there kid, it might seem all bad at the moment but I believe you have what it takes to get right through this and get back up where you want to be!

All the best from us oldriders and keep on posting your progress as you fight your way back! :yes:

Cheers and all our :love: Pip and John oldrider. (KB) :ride:

[Berg]

The Bergs are tied up with a 40th (not telling who's:innocent:) this weekend but would be happy to help in any way. Mr Berg knows something of the suffering our poor Katiepie will go through and the shear frustration:brick: involved in healing from such an injury.
We would be over the moon if somebody was to organise a ride not only for Katie but also for the awesome folks at the rescue helicopter unit in Wgtn.
Due to my job I work in closely with them and they are an awesome bunch who excel at helping those in need:yes:.
I have faith that Katiepie's amazingly positive attitude will see her well on the road to recovery but ensure she knows she has full support from those of us who have been there as well:hug::love:.

After years or riding all those Rapa roads I would have to admit I would struggle to name any of them or give clear directions as to where I was! Could happen to any of us.

Same here for half the roads I go and get lost on, plus the fact a lot do not have Cell reception. Maybe time for a PLB? (http://www.findmespot.com/en/index.php?cid=101)

both you and KatiePie are blessed with Technology advances ... I remember two summers were my mum was fitted with a fully body cast and at least one of those through a summer!

Hey crasherfromwayback, here's Katie's own words from the paper "It hasn't put me off. I really want to find out what happened, so I can avoid it happening again."
same as Katmans really
how come you're so jumpy?

I've learnt something from her 'off', well actually after her 'off', next shoe phone I buy will have a GPS thingamy on it.
Might even buy a box of flares too!

[CookMySock]

You KNOW theres gunna be a tellin off tho dontcha, and it dunt matter who it is or how much they're loved, theres still gunna be a tellin' off and thats the way of it. I'm pretty sure those closest to her are plenty qualified to do that so theres only gunna be a frown from me.

Fucken oath mate, I'm now making sure my cel phone is properly charged and in accessable spot whenever I go for a ride. I can't think of anything scarieir than what our little mate went through and doubt very much I'd be as calm or level headed in the same situation.

For those interested, Reckless has kindly setup a donation to help pay for expenses for Katie here:
http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/136069-Katiepie-donation-thread-(a-Kiwi-Biker-whip-round)

I knew Katie would probably be reluctant at the thought of people offering - but believe me, she will then be humbled then move onto being grateful when she sees the expenses she will have to face in addition to her long recovery.

Easing the financial burden will lower Katie's stress levels and help her healing process.

If you'd ever met Katie, you'd understand why you might want to help her as she makes you feel more positive and happy with life than before.
