One of the boys knocked off... (Waitakere City, 10 August)

[Kwaka-Kid]

Hey Everyone! I know its been ages since ive lurked here let alone posted, further more started a thread. But just wanted to ask incase anyone was around the Royal Rd offramp/up to the liquor store around 8ish (at this stage) On Friday 10th August. Hoping you may have spotted a Van which pulled out knocked my brother off his FXR150 then ran him over and carried on doing a runner!.. Any Info is much appreciated, the police have the first 3 letters on the rego and are running what they can and narrowing it down asap. Hopefully they will find the bugger, as Currently the family are with Kurt (EMAGDNIM) at the hospital. Major blow to the head/poss brain damage, a fractured spine up at the neck and lung damage etc etc. Fingers are crossed and everybodys thinking positively so that he can come back from this and make a full recovery

Just thought id get the word out asap and the story as straight as it could be from the start.


Cheers you great KB'ers, Peace!

Logan

[Gwinch]

Jesus fucking Christ, those fucking cretins. I hope your brother is pulling through and doing well.

Would it be kosher to post what information you have so others may keep an eye out?

[Delphinus]

All the best to your brother and hope he heals up ok!

Good luck finding the scum who did this to him!

[Kwaka-Kid]

Cheers dudes.

So far all they have told me (there were a couple of witnesses they caught up with, and they are checking for CCTV cameras around) old (white i think) van, but it had a late number plate, as in 3 letters, they havnt told me what the 3 letters are but at least that rules it out to 999 vehicles, and starting from that there will only be 50 or less of those white vans etc then knock down on years etc. Lets just hope the letters the witnesses got were correct and we find the van! Either way it will have drivers side damage from a blue FXR slamming it.

Kurts still holdin up in Critical Care but on a ventilator etc. Hes a hard nut though!

[erik]

I'll keep an eye out for any vans matching your description.

Good luck to your brother.

[Riff Raff]

That's awful to hear Logan. My best wishes to your brother for his recovery. :hug:

[deanohit]

Jeez, good luck to your brothers recovery mate, and hope the cops find the bastard who did this.

[chanceyy]

Sorry to hear that Logan, best wishes going out to your brother,

& hope the :Police: find that van before KBers do :yes:

[gijoe1313]

Aww cripes, real sorry to hear that - fark'n blardy lowlife scum. Hoping the best for your brother and also that karma delivers a big serve to those involved.

[Paul in NZ]

Jesus christ - what wrong with people? What a scummy thing to do... Hope your brother is OK...

[karmakillernz]

WTF? What is wrong with people? :angry:

My thoughts are with your brother today. Keep us posted.

[Meekey_Mouse]

:shit: Yikes, wishing your brother all the best :grouphug:

If I see an old white van with a FXR print on the side, which sadly I doubt I'll see them down here, but... I'll be sure to let them know :yes:....:nono::bash::kick:

[janno]

Hells bells - what a bloody nightmare!

Sending lots of virtual strength to your brother and family - no hugs for bro, sounds like he'll be a wee bit sore for a while.

Let us know how he's going.

I bet they reel in the buggers - that's a reasonably good lead they've got so far. Just hope the van wasn't stolen.

Fingers and toes crossed for a speedy recovery.

Jan.

[tri boy]

Best wishes for your brothers recovery Logan.
The f**king scum who did this needs a swim in gene o clean.:angry:

[Colapop]

FARK!! Scumbags!

Hope he has a good and quick recovery.

[obstacle]

Shit, Sorry to hear that. Fingers crossed for a sucessful and speedy recovery.

It must have happened just up the road from my place - I'll keep an eye out in the area for white vans with new regos.

[Meanie]

Farken dirtbags, why would anyone just piss off like that after causing someone so much harm What an absolute lowlife :angry: I believe you get what you give so it will catch up with him sooner or later
Best wishes to your brother mate, keep us informed to progress

Scum! Probably rushing home to give their little one(s) the bash.
The mentality of some people defies reason.
Hoping your brother recovers well and soon.

[LilSel]

Sending my love and best wishes your way!..

I am around Royal rd/west quite a lot... I will keep my eyes peeled also.

[Bruiser]

That sucks!

The cops are pretty onto it with and hopefully will come up trumps! Meantime please give your bro our best wishes for a full and early recovery.

I'm also a westy and will be keeping a sharp eye out for an early white van with blue marks on the side.

Please keep us informed of your brothers' condition.

Fingers crossed here.

[jrandom]

Jesus, some people deserve to be shot. All my best wishes and hopes for your brother's recovery dude.

Really sorry to hear of this...Hope your bro is going to be okay.

definitely let us know anything you can on the van. My hubby and a lot of mates live out West and will keep an eye out for the bastards.

[Coldrider]

The low lifes will be trying to get that van repaired too, may create another avenue to track them down.
Best of luck for your brother.

[Switch]

Really sorry to hear about this. Hope your brother makes a full recovery. And also hope they find the wanker who done this to him :mad:

[roadracingoldfart]

Its never good to hear of such incidents.
The old "i didnt see a bike " will be the defence for driving blindly.

I hope the outcome is what we all want, A full and complete recovery for your brother and a good old public excecution for the asshole that caused him harm.
All the best to your brother and your family.
Cheers Paul.

[Swoop]

F'ing lowlifes! Running over a rider!

Hope emagdnim recovers completely. Stay strong.

2, the *@#!*#@! has handed himself in this morning, the van has been located, he is being interviewed by officers other than me!
(this country is too small for him to hide in as others already know)

3, all your thoughts are greatly appreciated by the whole family especially with it being only a couple of days off the second anniversary of Bruce's death!

[Cave Cleaner]

Looking forward to a swift recovery for your brother....

Hi NodMan, thats great news about getting the f***er, hope you guys throw the book at him, things do happen but the fact that he drove off just shows how he has no balls, even if the guy paniced, 1 knows that they have to see if everything is ok.

[Hitcher]

I'm mortified! Yet again I feel a desire to do physical harm to somebody. The past few weeks have not been kind to us namby-pamby liberals.

Wishing your brother all the best, Kwaka.

[surfchick]

Logan - long time no see -
that's a horrific terrible situation - you guys must be worried sick about bro :( i'll be thinking of him during recovery. they better throw the book at the driver of that van; animal.

What a shocker! How the hell can someone just drive off knowing they have knocked a rider off his bike and worse! I guess it really is cold comfort that this dirtbag has handed himself in. I hope that your brother makes an uncomplicated recovery mate, take care :love: Mom

Hi Nodman,

I have just been speaking to Kurt & Logans mum and she has filled me in on the latest news. Let's hope that Kurt keeps improving.

ScorpyGirl and I are thinking of you all and wil raise a glass to Bruce on Tuesday.

Take care mate.

[Kwaka-Kid]

cheers guys!

Will post more as we hear more but at this stage we last heard the guy that did this was @ the station, and Kurt actually making great progress, definately a great positive feeling by his critical care bed, but its still early days yet-so scared to get hopes up :(

[NodMan]

Like ya bike kwaka kid!!! but whose riding it tonite???
there is a long waiting list, (Kurt wanted it yesterday for a track day)
you'll have to make do with the Z1R T/C or a minimoto

[janno]

I'm mortified! Yet again I feel a desire to do physical harm to somebody. The past few weeks have not been kind to us namby-pamby liberals.

Second that. But at least the guy handed himself in, so there is some conscience there, albiet buried waaaaay deep in his neanderthal brain.

I had a boyfriend years ago who'd come through a car accident resulting in a fractured spine in two places, and he was fully mobile. So hopefully your brother has been as lucky, too.

All appendages crossed for a safe and speedy recovery.

[Shade]

Oh man, just got your email Logan!

Pisses me off big time. Thoughts are with you guys - Im sure Kurt will make an awesome recovery - hes from a long line of hard nuts, haha.

Anything I can do over these ways, let me know, other wise expect a call sunday night from me.

Best vibes to your brother, yourself ad family. Hope they catch the deaf bugger. Cheers.

Our thoughts are with you and the family as Kurt receovers ... its horrible that these a-holes try go and hide .. but at least they are now being dealt with ...

[90s]

Hoping for the best for your brother.

[Scorpygirl]

Hi KK and Nodman,

Sorry I haven't posted but I have been away at our Ulysses Rememberance Service weekend in Taupo. Rhino didn't go so as he wasn't feeling well so he has been filling me in on details about Kurt's accident via cellphone. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. I said a prayer for you all at the service and for Bruce too.

I hope Kurt makes a full recovery, as you say he is tough nut and I am sure he will. I know Bruce will be looking down and looking after him.

I am glad the a-hole handed himself in and I really hope that there will be some justice and not just a slap-over the hand with a wet bus ticket.

By the way Happy Birthday Logan. Although I know you won't feel much like enjoying it.

Take care all of you at this stressful time.

Thanks Scorpy and everybody else!!

More improvements last night, ALL limbs moving as hes fighting the restraints, He wont open his eyes for me (but think he did for KK earlier in the night) hopefully he will wake up fully in next day or two and make it out into a ward where everybody can see him

It is a special day today with it being anniversary of Bruces (old fart) death. Wont be able to ride to his spot today BUT I know hes still riding on my shoulder everyday.

Ride Safe Nodman and family

[BigB]

Good to hear Kurt's making progress.

Thought's are with you guy's

Cheers

[Scorpygirl]

Good to hear that Kurt is making slow improvements - every little helps along the way to recovery. We have been thinking about Bruce (Old Fart) today and are about to make a toast to him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I am sure Bruce will be looking after Kurt too. God Bless.

Kia Kaha, Kia Toa, Kia Manawanui.

[SPman]

Bloody hell - when I started reading this thread, the first thing I thought of was Bruce and you guys - you don't need this sort of shit again, Logan and Nod - hope everything turns out well - looks like things are on the up, thank god.

is it really 2 yrs since Bruce went down..............doesn't seem like it..........

[Kwaka-Kid]

yeah guys its all going pretty damn good! To be honest hes been making progress faster then anyone had expected. Still not too sure on how high to hold hopes on how everything pans out, so focusing on each day as it passes and its been all great so far.

Was just in seeing Kurt and got him to open his eyes again, and then got him to speak!!! He is hard to understand but after much encouragement he does speak a little more clearly and words can be made out.
The world according to Kurt so far is:
Kurt, What day/Month is it?
November
Kurt, What year is it?
2008
Kurt, where are you?
The same place I was yesterday.

Hahaha hes still a crackup, might have rushed a little far forward in time but he got the last bit right.

Well over and out for now - have to go sleep. Cheers

[NodMan]

Kurt is out of Critical Care Ward 4:30 today, been awake for several 30 minute stretches but tires quickly, Now in Neurological ward, Still family only visits for about a week then hopefully he will be moved to an Orthopedic ward,

All the messages and thoughts have been passed on to Kurt, I dont think much is sinking in yet but its early days, Thanks everybody, Nod and family

[Rhino]

Great news Nodman. We will keep you all in our thoughts.:yes:

[Str8 Jacket]

Awesome news guys!

[sAsLEX]

Any more good news Logan?

Here hoping for a full and quick recovery!

[Swoop]

The world according to Kurt so far is:
Kurt, What year is it?
2008
Hahaha hes still a crackup, might have rushed a little far forward in time but he got the last bit right
QUICK!! Make use of that! Ask him what the winning lotto numbers are and who wins the Melbourne Cup!!!!!
Next year you will be on to a winner!!!!!


(Sounds like all is going well with the recovery.):woohoo:

[Bulldog]

Hey guys, so sorry to hear about the accident. I didn't spot it at first but I turned off at the Mobil intersection and saw all the cop cars etc right after the accident happened that night. I remember coming home and saying to my mrs that I hoped it wasn't a biker! I can't believe the makeup of people taking off after smashing someone off their bikes. I was bolled off my bike on triangle road just down from there the Sunday 2 days later! and the guy drove off up the road picked his family up and returned only to tell me I was speeding...not once asked me if I'm ok!

Good to see the police are pretty harsh on people who do leave the scene. My numb nuts was charged with careless driving causing injury which equates to approx $4000 fine and 6 months loss of license. Still doesn't compare to your brother's injuries or what could have happened to me if I didn't go over the car.

Be strong mate, your bro will need your strength and love. Let me know if I can help any way.

[Kwaka-Kid]

Hey all!!!

Its only just passed 2 weeks since the accident, and kurts still charging on with more and more progress.

He has since gone from critical care to an intense neuro ward, and just yesterday been transferred to a more regular ward. (i dunno all their names etc sorry!)

We have seen him recover so far to the point were he can get out of bed by himself, and walk across the room. He can now talk alot more clearly. And his old memory is all there short of the ride of the accident.

Basically now its just a long recovery time in his traction device thingy to keep his neck stiff, and re-cordinating his left side some. Drags his left foot a little and isnt so keen to use left arm etc. But we all feel he will get there its just a time thing.

Well gotta run! Thanks heaps for all the support guys, ill print this out at some stage soon and take it into him in hospital.

Regards.,

Logs!

[HDTboy]

Good to hear he's getting better Logo.

Did they end up finding the wanker who hit him?

[sAsLEX]

Mate thats news that made my day!


All the best for the west and all those that are out there.

sAs.

[Scorpygirl]

Awesome news to hear Logan. I am so glad he is making such great progress. I will try to go and see him on Wednesday before Radio Lollipop at Starship.

[NodMan]

Awesome news Logo. Its amazing to seem someone recovering so quickly from a bad accident like that. Popped up once or twice but each time your bro was about to go to see the Neuro or whatever. (amazing the places my hospital swipe cards get me)

Stay cool till after school!

And Hi to Nod as well eh..

Sure is great to see him up and about, even if he's weak on his left side!!
Hes planning next bike already, but knows its three months before he gets his broken neck out of traction.

I questioned him yesterday to make sure it wasn't him that snuck out and nicked Milkys ZXR400 from just down the road! ( I reckon someone would have noticed the scaffolding round his head wasn't a regulation helmet!)

Anyone wanting to see him (or watch endless reruns of Ghostriders videos) Kurt is in Ward 81 Room 9 Auckland hospital. Nod and family

[Kwaka-Kid]

Hey guys sorry dont have any time right now - just got back from being down the line on work.

Kurt has as of yesterday moved to REHAB PLUS in Pt Chev.-Auckland. Im sure its okay for anyone to visit, the hours are between 11:00am and 8:30pm off the top of my head. Cant remember number of room etc, but they all know him just ask for him.

Unsure of how long he will be there, but i can assure you hes already well bored of it, and just wants to be home so he can work on bikes etc haha!

So i guess feel free to catch up with him if ya know him etc, otherwise post anything you want to go thru to him on here, still meaning to make a printout of it all, it will happen - just hasnt quite yet.

thanks heaps and cucu
