Apparently there was another biker binned it on the onramp at Khyber Pass today, anyone hear about it?

[noyz]

Really sorry to hear that SpeedMedic I hope he did not come off too bad and has a quick recovery

[justsomeguy]

It is not a KB'er but is a close friend and collegue of a senior and well respected member here.

I hope he makes a full recovery and is out riding with us soon.:yes:

Hello people, the rider hurt this evening on the south bound on ramp wiri/.manakau is a good friend of mine, he is not a kber , but is a fellow rider, a brother firefighter and a bloody good bloke.

I spoke with one of the HP officers at the hospital, it would seem that my mate was involved in an accident with a car which may have knocked him off the bike after which he was hit/dragged by a truck for some distance.



He is in the Intensive care unit at Middelmore with multiple trauma injuries, and has been placed in a drug induced coma.

Thank you for your thoughts, Prayers and the many txts.

I will update when more information becomes available.


Firefight.

[What?]

I flew over the scene on the way into AKL - at the time I thought it was 2 trucks vs 1 car; no sign of a bike anywhere so it must have been very ugly.
Hope your mate pulls through alright, Dave.

[Scorpygirl]

I hope your mate will soon be off life support again. Thoughts and prayers still coming through for you and the family.

Take care

Yeehah!:2thumbsup

[DemonWolf]

yes indeed.. most excellent news. =)

[Aitch]

Unless I'm greatly mistaken this fellows wife is a teacher at a smallish south Auckland school, and teaches my daughter. Lovely lass, and from what I could see at the school trip to the beach last week is bearing up remarkably well. I didn't get a chance to talk to her about her husband, (or anything else, controlling 50+ 6 and 7 yr olds is a full time job!), but I do wish her and her husband the very best.

Collective sigh of relief. Good to hear mate :)

[aff-man]

Awesome new mate. Good one :banana: :banana: :banana:

[Unit]

Havent been on KB for a while and just caught up with the news. I was so relieved when I got to the bit where he was stable and out of surgery. Isnt it amazing the will of man and how the body can repair itself. I guess we all dread the day someone close to us is involved in such a terrible incident. All the best to rider, family and friends and safe biking to every rider out there

[T.I.E]

excellent stuff FF. hope he makes a speedy recovery.

[Scorpygirl]
