Missing biker, we need help (20/10/13)

[lidra]

Hi Guys,

We need the community help. We have a biker missing since yesterday.
He left for a ride with another friend and we don't know any details about his whereabouts since mid day yesterday.
He has a BMW S1000 RR that was purchased from Cyclespot. The friend he left with is the previous owner of the BMW. We believe the Cyclespot guys have the details and know the person name our friend left with yesterday.

We are trying to locate any of the people who left with yesterday, as we do not have any details about the friend he left with.
We are looking for Cyclespot owner (Grant) personal contact details as he has the name and contact details of the other rider.

If anyone can please post on my private Grant details, or even contact Grant and pass my phone number (021 267 66 31 ) \as we are trying to find the name and contact details of the previous owner of the bike as they went together for the ride. We are trying to find out where they last seen him.

There is a missing person case open with Police already since 2 am this morning. No sign of him at any hospital yet. We are organizing a searching party on SH16 as we believe he came alone from Welsfort to Albany.


Cheers,

Liviu

Shit really hope you find him, I'm heading up SH16 later on this afternoon so I'll keep my eyes peeled.

[nzspokes]

I will put it up on the riding FB group im in, I would help look but have my kids.

I hope he is found well.

[Smifffy]

Good luck!

A description of the bike and what the rider could possibly be wearing might help.

Does he have a particular district he likes riding in?

[lidra]

Hi last bank card transaction was in Mangawhai Heads at Sail rock coffee. We believe he left to Auckland via SH16 from Welsford. I will upload a picture if bike and costume shortly.

Pictures of bike and biker

[BigAl]

Nice bike, are you sure that he hasn't just kept riding. I know I would.

[mossy1200]

That's not a gps on the bars?

[jellywrestler]

That's not a gps on the bars?

have you checked calendar girls?

[nerrrd]

Not much chance really of me seeing anything, I was going north, lots of bikes coming south though, plenty of people out and about so I'd say on a beautiful day like today there's every chance someone would have seen something if there's anything to see. Best of luck with the search.

[Mom]

Can we please have an update?

[Mongolian]

Went out to Mangawhai heads today down sh16 and I don't remember seeing any red s100rr's but again wasn't especially looking for one, but would think I would remember seeing one as there not all that common.
Hope everyone is ok and he just had one to many and is sleeping off a hangover somewhere.

[lidra]

Strewth! Appologies for my flippant comment.

[Smifffy]

Such terrible news. Sorry to hear of your loss. Ride on.

[caseye]

Not the result anyone would want.
On you for coming here and posting this up, it took some courage and initiative.
I'm sure anyone here on KB would have had their eyes and ears open if they'd seen your post.
My condolences to you,his family and friends.

[xXGIBBOXx]

Sad loss , rest in peace brother

[Winston001]

That is an awful shock. It just seemed likely he'd stopped off somewhere or gone elsewhere as we do but to have died...oh so sad.

I'm struggling for words.

My sympathies to you Lidra and his friends and family.

[lidra]

Hi Guys,

We were on site seconds after Westpac found the location. Unfortunatelly the accident happened yesterday.
It happened on a gentle curve there was a brake mark before the curve no other marks on the street. He was found still attached to the bike about 5 meters from where he left the road.
There are no other details at this stage of what and why, if the family will allow it I will update the thread with future details.



Regards,

Liviu

I am so sorry to read the events of today, and the tragic end result. Thoughts are with you for the loss of your friend.

I know if I didn't have my friend arranged to meet me for a drink the evening of my crash it would have been a similar outcome as 111 were never called and no one else knew I was missing.

A tragic reminder to riders to always let others know where they are heading, especially if riding alone. I am so saddened to hear of the outcome today.

[Laava]

This is very sad. I rode through there yesterday morning and must have gone past the scene.
RIP.

[yungatart]

My sympathies.

[unstuck]

Bugger, R.I.P.:(

[Mom]

Quite a sobering trip to work this morning following a tow truck with the bike on it. Sad stuff.

[Tigadee]

RIP... Sad to see news like this first thing in the morning and week. Peace and comfort to the family.

[iranana]

RIP, sad to hear, I myself was enjoying the weather this weekend too. A sobering Monday morning reminder of how fragile we actually are. My condolences to his family and friends.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Hi everybody! Thank you so much for the help. Unfortunately our friend was found dead on his bike :(((( by search and reascue today. Its souch a tragedy....

Very sorry to hear that.

Its never a nice thing to see is it Mom :(...and its even harder when you know the results from the incident.
...very sobering indeed
Between this accident & the bridge incident down here the other week, Ive been getting extra hugs goodbye in the mornings from my Charlotte...she knows that summer doesn't just bring more sunshine for us :(


Hence, Please Ride safe this summer KBers :love:

[Erelyes]

Sorry to hear. RIP.

[Wingnut]

Sincere condolences to all concerned...

[Grizzo]

Very sad indeed.

[swbarnett]

Not good at all. My condolences.



This makes me even more glad that I plucked up the courage and did an ACC sponcerd advanced riding course yesterday.* Something I now believe should be done by all riders and regularly as a refresher. I've been riding since 1982 (most of that time daily) but I still found it very useful.






*Just to be clear, I don't know the rider or the circumstance of the accident; in no way do I mean imply anything about their riding ability.

[Big Dog]

Condolences to the family.

[Kendoll]

I am so sorry to hear that... Awful news. :(

Agreed. I used to text a guy mate at regular intervals when on long trips. Now I dont bother cause he made out like I was stupid for doing so, so I just text others instead.
