[Da Bird]

Just had a call from a colleague who has been at a fatal motorbike crash in Pukekohe this afternoon.
Not many details, bike was about 400cc, was riding with a mate, no car involved.

Not a good start to the weekend... be careful out there.

RIP to the rider.

Any idea on what exactly happened?

Speculating at this stage but possibly involved the bike getting a tank-slapper and throwing the rider off (from what I have been told).

Dang, then I suspect the rider hit an immovable object on the roadside, or the ground in a awkward manner. Not nice.

Lord, thank you for the open air, The Feel of wind blowing through my hair;
Just me alone upon my bike, The thrill of freedom is what I like

To wind through country unexplored, Not knowing what I'll see next, Lord.
That's what I seek when off I ride. I'm thankful that you're by my side.

If I should ride till morning's light, Please keep me safe throughout the night,
And when I come to journey's end, It's you I'll thank - Protector, Friend.


RIP - and in rememberance of those comrades recently lost.
