First crash

[Capinure]

Wow, it finally happened was doing my second run of the Paekakariki Hill road and along came a old american cage way to big for his side of the road and i sweved to avoid it and ended up binning the poor girl :crybaby: :crybaby:.

Bastard didnt stop!:Playnice:. Bikes a mess and the tank hit a powerpole, bikes at a mates and we're checking it over soon.

I'm fine only a few minor scraps and bruises but i kinda wish it was me instead of the bike :crybaby:.

[Taz]

Bummer. Lessons learned tho.

[frogfeaturesFZR]

Bikes can have new bits bolted on, people are harder to repair.:grouphug:
Good luck with fixing the bike.

I know EXACLY what you mean. Just stay positive about it and tell the cops.

[DUCATI*HARD]

maybe next time then:confused:

Better the bike than you mate. Humans hitting power poles aren't a good mix.

Bikes you can fix up or replace but it's kinda harder with soft fleshy creatures to repair or replace them.

Besides, when you break something or rip something up in a bike accident it bloody hurts. A lot :(

[Grub]

Damn that road. It a piece of motorcycle heaven but shit it extracts it's pound of flesh ... so glad it wasn't a pound of yours.

Other vehicles are probably the greatest danger on that road. I hug hard left on left handers and never go nearer than halfway to the centreline on rights unless I can see the whole road.

Where did it happen, which corner?

Thankfully we have not had (as in me and poster 1) major body damage so we can think this.... i feel myself digging a hole...

:pinch: :sick: Bummer to hear about that, but much better with you able to post and just :weep: over your ride ...

Hope you manage to do some reflection about these events and what you could have done to keep it all rubber side down. Don't forget when you are back on your ride to go back and ride that same bit through no hay problema! :yes:

Dont be stupid mate, a broken bike might hold you up for a bit while you repair or replace it, but if you hit a pole I guarantee you'd be outta the game for much longer, maybe even for good.

Glad to hear you're ok and hopefully you can track down the bastard who didn't stop.

[Joliet]

Ouch. Glad you're ok though. Hopefully the bike can be fixed :) and I also echo what everyone else said, better the bike than you.

[Scooby Mike]

Glad to hear you're on the mend mate and not too badly cut up. I'm the guy on the copper SV1000s that stopped a couple of mins after you came off.

As I said at the time, bikes can always be replaced, you can't! Well done on avoiding the drop down the bank though eh! That could have made the whole thing a bit more serious!

Cheers
Mike

[Jiminy]

Good to hear that you're in one piece.

That's a cool piece of roads, but locals like it as much as bikers do, so it's sometimes a bit hot on the road.

As everyone else said, it's less painful to bolt together bits of bike than bits of bones.

[Katman]

Perhaps they need to shut that stretch of road off to motorcyclists. Too many wannabe Rossis by the sounds of it.

[Sparky Bills]

Oh bugger.
Well Piekok Hill claims another victim.

Take it easy dude. Your not the only one the hill has claimed.

[Coyote]

Shit, all you guys are such optimists.

Bones and flesh heal, metal doesn't. I've been lucky to come out of most of my crashes worse than the bike.

[sinfull]

Can see a few ppl thinkin that exact thought, as there have been a number of FUps !
But not someone who rides and enjoys a few windies ! Good roads are few and far between down this end of the island !
I cant really see this bloke being a wanna be rossi well perhaps he is but would say its more a case of wrong line and not expecting a tank to come around the corner (left hand hook no doubt)

So are we promoting more track days ?

Shame on you.....thats a fine piece of road on a bike, they should stop the cages on it not the bikes but as with all awesome twisties they need a whole lot of respect
I ride it every chance i get when i venture down welly way. It can however be very dodgy, normaly from cars cutting corners, from my experience anyway, but the i dont ride like a Rossi wannbe either

[Katman]

The road is not a racetrack.

[Meanie]

The road is not a racetrack.

No public road is a race track, and they should be treated as such

[McDuck]

The road is not a racetrack.

What is this i hear about you completing the coro GP? ;)

[Insanity_rules]

Damn dude, glad your with us to post. Paekak hill road is fun but cagers a-plenty. Chin up could be worse.

[Capinure]

Thanks Mike for stopping, you and the three maori falls and off-hour medic were great, much appreciated :done:.
and thank you KB for your support and open opinions they mean alot.

I've just been thinking bout it , it was a bad time when i decided to do another run of the hills since with the paikok accident down below cars were avoiding the traffic jam by cutting thur the hills i should of thought bout it. Bit careless of me dam cager cant take all the blame.

Me and my mate have been going through the bike today after gettting it back from the wreckers/recovery people and the engines still good, starts and took it for a ride up the street. So far we can see confirm that the i need a new tank (bastard took all the absorbtion in the crash bless you),new windscreen,radiator (leaking ) , patching up of the fairings ( it doesnt look nice) still need to check if the frame is still straight.

I've learnt a bit after having time to reflect on the inncident and i honestly think i'm very lucky, like Mike said i could of ended up over and down the side or a under the next car.

To the guy who asked where i crash, it happened in the first blind left corner sweeping down after all the uphill bits past the lookout. ( Direction- heading towards Wellington )

And even while they are trying to heal you get shooting pains where you are otherwise numb!
