Oamaru biker down (13 March)

[scumdog]

Anybody know the guy?

Hit a praked car that suddenly wasn't parked yesterday, bad enough to need the chopper.

Was on a black CBR900 or similar.

So it wasn't 98TLS anyway.

it occurs to me that you see a lot of accidents.. more than a lot.. yet this one means something to you.. maybe they all do ? keep up the good work.

when my boy got knocked down by a 82 year old who went through a compulsary stop the cop asked him 3 times at the hospital how fast were you going as if he didnt believe that he wasnt speeding even though there were heaps of witneses

[Rashika]

damn sorry to hear 98TLS...
hope he is okay :mellow:

A friend pulled out in front of a car in her car recently - usual pile up - the other car was really speeding - the cops said it was irrelevant how fast it was going as my friend had pulled out and was in the wrong.

Appears to be a different rule for bikes......

My bro stopped at the accident just as cops arrived. Olds live on the same street and apparently it was closed til 10pm last night.

Was in the ODT this morning noting a 26 y/o. He would have been at school around the same time as me and as small towns go have heard rumours about who it is!

Wasnt good for my bros confidence as he was sitting his motorbike restricted license the next day (today)!

Thats so true
as i have done that and the car is at fault
the law is always black and white

Made a bit of a mess of the car from the picture

I hope your friend pulls through, 98tls.

[ipod1098]

all the best for your m8 98

I live just around the corner and yes it is a piece of road that many go a little faster than they should, me included. Quite sobering to have happen so close to home. Our thoughts & best wishes.

Hope he recovers...

[Okey Dokey]

It's so sad to hear about any biker down. Worse when it sounds like the rider is in such a bad way. sorry about the double post; I stuffed up.

[Okey Dokey]

Oh, the poor guy. I hope he can pull through. Thanks for starting this thread, scumdog.

[offrd]

Oh man....

Best wishes to the rider and family.....

Way too many accidents going on......

[98tls]

[chanceyy]

With a name like that, he will make a full recovery ;)

Good to hear of a positive outcome.... Even though his body will not quite be the same again.
I wish him all the best.
A relief for you I bet 98TLS.
