Help Frosty. "Play It Backward"

[RiderInBlack]

The Track Day 3 crash (see Update on Frosty (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=29666)) has set Frosty back some what. Not only did he get hurt doing suff for us, but also his racing bike and racing gear (encluding his helmet). This is not cheap shit and is not cover for by Insurance for this accident.
Now we have heard the saying "Playing It Forward", well considering Frosty has "played it forward" for so many of us, I think it's time we "Played It Back" and helped him out.
To that end I have starting this thread.
I starting the ball rolling by donating $50 in to Frosty's Raceing fund acc to help out.

If ya want ta help too, please pm me or Frosty for bank details

Thanks
Doug

Thanks Doug

You all know I will support Frosty in every way possible. I think the track staff at Taupo owe it to him to sort this out.

It was a major "bad karma" day for him but if/when OSH is to get involved. Hell think about this guys...they supposedly plan MotoGP here. Well forget it if the basic safety rules are forgotten!

It is up to Frosty and taupo raceway officials to sort his costs out

It is up to Frosty and taupo raceway officials to sort his costs outWell I'm happy to help Frosty out for his racing costs then, even IF they do pay out (which will take sometime). We all know how much Frosty has done for us. It would not hurt us to put a little back into helping him regard less of the outcome with OSH and the Taupo Raceway, IMHO.

[MadDuck]

THEY screwed up and it could have been a whole lot worse. I got to the hospital and thought "Im heading home and his fiance and family need to be here"

He has done a lot for track days and KB ...BUT we have in NZ some laws that need to be taken seriously.

Taupo race track officials failed those fundamental rules IMHO

Unfortunately I can't edit this thread but I would suggest you remove bank account details and get people to PM you for them instead. I wouldn't be happy if someone put my bank account details on a public forum.

FOR FUCKS SAKE... Taupo wants to be a leading race track in NZ. Surely I am not alone on saying we havent got it?

Get a grip NZ ..theres rules that will not be acceptable in overseas standards
Like the rest of you I want to help Frosty but I know MadDuck has a good handle on this so trust her call.

[RiderInBlack]

agreed... and done!Thanks Joni.

Does anyone have an issue in donating something to help Frosty for all the things he has done. If you have an issue with the track paying for his gear, bike etc. then how about you just donate a couple of bucks for the help he's given you...

I met a guy in Oz that taught me a valuable lesson a month or so back.

Never offer to help, just help. Don't ask if someone wants a hand to do the dishes - get off your arse and do the bloody things.

And so it goes with Frosty.

I do not see how helping Frosty out is some how letting the Track off the hook. OSH will deal to them in their own sweet time, and if Frosty finally gets compensation from them, then cool. Mean time it does not harm helping.

This thread was not set-up to argue who should be compensating Frosty, but was set up to help a mate.

I think MD maybe you don’t exactly get RIB’s intention – firstly he let Frosty know he was starting the thread and secondly no one on KB is thinking that the money raised in this thread will be a replacement for the accountability the track should take and the role ACC will play. At times people want to just say thank you and help someone who has helped them. Tony has done a lot for many people – so this is a way for a few of us on KB to say thank you. A small gesture to someone who has done a lot for this site and while doing something for this site got hurt!

Sorry RIB if I am repeating what you said or seem to be talking on your behalf :blah:

Totally agree.

BTW before people get too publicly vociferious about blame etc for the incident, please be sure you know ALL the facts, not just what you have heard or assumed. Frosty knows the what, where and how of the situation and is dealing with it appropriately.

I agree.. thanks for this..

I've pmed Frosy for a bank account but if someone can PM me before he does that would be great!!!

Awesome idea Rider in Black.. Frosty has not once screened my calls when i've called him for help/advice!!! YET ;)

[MadDuck]

Sorry about my outburst....

I had a bad week and the last person I would ever want to take that out on is my mate Frosty....

Great idea to help him out RIB.

[The_Dover]

Isn't it pay it backward?

At first I thought this was about Black Sabbath LPs and Frosty trying to get intouch with the devil.

Ok I am just making a small donation, if every body who can spare a small amount to frosty it will make a huge diffrence to the site royalty who has helped everyone he has been able to from picking up pyrocam on the side of the motorway to fixing bikes!
