Wasn't a scooter... I saw a red GN250 with an L plate and a Toyota Caldina station wagon stopped further up. A guy in shirt and tie (presumably biker) was sitting up and getting an oxygen thing put on. He seemed shaken but ok...

"Shirt and tie" Any sign of 'protective gear'?

[Bend-it]

Dunno... might have already been taken off when I passed by.

Wasn't a scooter...

The bike on the hard shoulder just before the northbound split between the gorge or hutt was a red 125cc scoot, epicuro kind of thing.

The GN might have been a seperate accident
