Auckland Biker Missing since Thursday 9 November

[Rhino]

Hi folks,

I have just found out that a 60 year old mate (Richard) is missing along with his Honda CX-400. He hasn't been seen since Thursday afternoon/early evening. His daughter Helena is very worried. I have attached a photo of Richard in the hope that someone in the Auckland area may have seen this distinctive bike/rider. His bike is red in colour and best described as a rat bike. If you have seen him, please pm me, or contact Helena on 021 2604970, ring Bruce on 0274 992 034, or email: bandjc@ihug.co.nz,

OR, TAKAPUNA POLICE, who for the first time in their lives are looking for him in a non-toxic mode.

Any idea where he was headed given the time frame.

Any idea where he was headed given the time frame.
Not sure. I believe that he was supposed to go get an injured hand treated at his GP. He lives in Birkdale, so I assume that the GP will probably be local.

hope he's ok and they find him, no mention where he was going.
dont want to think it, but could of gone of the road and be down a bank injured.

He is actually a KBer too, although he has only done 6 posts. His KB name is thehovel.

I hope they find him safe and well. Richard is a lovely, fun guy. It's too awful to think about. :weep:

Rhino, Scorpygirl, Macktheknife and ShadeeLady and any others that know him. I hope they find him soon.


What roads does he like to ride?
As that may help us look for him if he has come off his bike.

Shit Rhino, birkdales my backyard. Ill keep my eyes peeled mate.

edit: nice stuff! glad to hear hes a-ok!

[Rhino]

As the title says, he has been found safe and well (at least until he gets back to Auckland, when his daughter is going to give him serious grief.)

Many thanks to all for their concern.

Mack, I have sent you a pm giving more details.

If I'm still riding when I'm retired, it will be unusual to be able to find me.

Leave him be, you're a long time dead.
