Update from Mental-Trousers further down (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?p=1747769#post1747769)

[Mental Trousers]

I've been at the Hospital with Warren this afternoon and evening. The good news is there's nothing life threatening and all injuries will heal. However, he's pretty busted up and will likely spend a few days in one of the 24/7 critical care type wards before being sent out to a general ward.

[Mom]

Pleased to hear his injuries are not life threatening. Heal well mate! Slow but sure should be your aim for recovery.

[DMNTD]

For the love of all things shaven... :angry:
Heal up mate :sunny:

[AlBundy]

That sucks!

Met him last year while riding through....

Our thoughts are with him...

[carver]

yeah, a great rider, experinced, i met him 3 years ago i think.

[erik]

yeah, a great rider, experinced, i met him 3 years ago i think.

[smoky]

Terminal says - get over it, he's not dead
If ya really care come and give him a hand fixing his bike








Good luck healing mate

[sinfull]

Damn (speell it right just for you hitcher) shame that !! get ya busted bones outa bed warr and finish this ride !

[Zapf]

shit... ffs. He is a damm good rider. I hope it wasn't his fault. Anyhow. Was he booked to go on the Grand Challange?

Warr.... well wishes. Get well soon.

[Dave-]

best wishes dude.

[TerminalAddict]

saw him tonight .. he was quite lucid and "with it"

when the drugs wear off he's gonna be sore for a long long time .. .a long time !!! longer than I care to think about .. I guess this is the "trying" bit of being a friend .. being a friend when the chips are "really" down

the bike is well .. how do i put it ... in need of parts ... well maybe just one important part .. the honda bit.
So if anyone has a spare honda that they can donate to warr, he would be very grateful.

thanks for pics carver, and a top notch effort today ... deep down you're a caring guy eh ? ? :love:

[TerminalAddict]

shit... ffs. He is a damm good rider. I hope it wasn't his fault. Anyhow. Was he booked to go on the Grand Challange?


nah not this year .. we were thinking of doing the southern cross in march, but things may have just changed . ... who knows

[terbang]

Ouch..! Get well soon mate.

[Zapf]

Spare honda? Badge? :P What was he riding? VFR750 rite?

[Qkkid]

Get wel soon bro, tough luck man.

Guess now you're the Mormen Fewer.

:shit:I think the mormon few owned him on the corroloop. :blink:
Anything you can walk away from on a bike is a lucky escape.
I hope you have a quick recovery matey.

[Swoop]

All the best for a fast recovery Warren!

[Firefight]

sorry to hear about your off,

but glad your ok(ish), your a dam fine rider,

F/F

[boomer]

If you cant keep up with the Mormen few then maybe your not as experienced as everyone says...??!!! :bleh:

good to see your still with us; nothing wrong with a bit of pain!! heal up.


ps.. i've never met him, not 3 years ago or last week... :blink:

[smoky]

For any one who’s interested in donating parts to fix his VFR, here’s a short list of some basics we’ll be needing;


Two wheels, Two tyres, Fairing, Front lights, and rear lights, wiring loom, Triple clamp, front forks, brakes, gauges, seat, tank, motor, gearbox, frame, swing arm, shock, CDI, handle bars, levers, footpegs, exhaust system, can

Oh and I think he may need a new battery

Any donations to Terminals place please

Thanks

how about a fire extinguisher thrown in?

[Blackbird]

Sorry to hear the bad news Warren - heal quickly mate.

Geoff

[Mental Trousers]

Just had an update.

He's out of Emergency and is now in 1 of the 24/7 high dependancy units. Visiting is restricted to 2 people at a time so I'd suggest people hold off visiting until he's in a ward where visitor numbers aren't restricted.

[trumpy]

Ouch,ouch.
Heal up quick.

[TOTO]

Positive taughts for quick recovery...


P.s. what generally happened ?

[Dargor]

Can we have the pics posted here.

Thanks carver, your a pro at a crash site.
Thanks John(ski?), I ride slow.

[Swoop]

P.s. what generally happened ?
Riding with The Moron Few, there would have been excessive speeds and much danger...
I'm guessing ~65kmh and a corner somewhere?
He was probably laughing so hard at "te few" and fell off.

[TerminalAddict]

it was more than likely a rear tyre blow out on the exit of a corner, which eventuated in a high side

I spent a bit of time pacing up and down the crash site, looking at the marks on the road, and picking bits of bike up

edit: BTW .. carver showed responsibility and maturity, and dealt with the scene very well, and communicated well with those that cared back in Hamilton

[Swoop]

What? That "te few" ride slow?:oi-grr:



That is a disgustingly bad end, to a beautiful bike. (hopefully it is not "the end" though!)

i feel the same way to be honest.
he seems to be in good spirits when i saw him this afternoon.

[TerminalAddict]

well I've just spent some time meandering around the bike.

I could probably salvage a foot brake lever, maybe a muffler (not sure about the insides of the muffle) a right foot peg, a front rim (maybe .. not sure about heat damage)

i was surprised to see half the frame melted

[Switch]

Its a shame to hear about this. lauren and i will hopefully be up in a few weeks and will come visit him in the hospital if he is still there.
Heal up quick Warr

[Number One]

Hmmm indeed...I always find it disappointing to see that even in these type of events some Kbers just can't help themselves but make digs.

On the note of the accident - Jeebus that looks nasty! Heal up well and good luck with all that recovering brings you Warr :sunny:

[CookMySock]

Owch. Taken as a timely reminder.

cripes....that's real sad.

again, all the best.

I guess that with all the "Mormon Few post" about racing on the roads and how cool it is - People get an idea that you are all riding like idiots on the road and are accidents waiting to happen. Some people dont have any time or sympathy for people who act like that. So to this end its almost as if comments taking 'digs' are a result of the Mormon few marketing program.

As they say - its all fun until someone loses an eye.

Regardless - I hate to see anyone get hurt - and I genuinely hope that he has a full and speedy recovery.

If its any help when he is ready I should be able to provide a old laptop I can give him so at least he can get KB when in hospital - if this is of any use - one of his friends can just PM me and I will arrange to meet up with them with it.

[Mountlocal1]

Not cool...

Good work Carver and the rest of the guys supporting him while he is in hospital.

Il come visit before I fly out.

Hope you have a quick recovery Warren!

All the best to you and your family.

[kevfromcoro]

Very sorry to here about this inccident....
hope warren heals well........and the support you guys are giving him...
In all my years of riding..i have never seen a bike catch fire...
Any more details?????????

but it is...
warr aint in the few.

he was saying how slow we were...

thats right, read it again.

it was/is fun to ride fast, on they way home i did 140 - 200kph in the rain through the gorge....and loved every minute of it, plus 2nd gear standup wheelstands to redline on the CBR 600, also in the wet.

it was so unforgettable

however

warr is a cautious experienced rider, and there is no way he would have been doing anything wreckless, we all ride at our own pace.

[tri boy]

Hang in there Warren. Take all the drugs that the orderly's smuggle to you. Suck down hard on the giggle juice, and I'll see you when your more comfortable.
(F**k dude, when you lay a bike down, you do it in a spectacular way):crazy:

i dont think im allowed to say too much...
i initially thought it was alot more serious, and i was alone unable to call for help.
the bike was followed by a trail of fire while sliding down the road, i will never forget that.

[slofox]

Damn, Warr - I am sorry to hear of this....hope you recover quickly - will see if I can't get in to see you. All the best.........

[The Flux Capacita]

shit!!!! thats intense...get well soon mate, nice work jono your always around to help when someone bins...lol

[carver]

shit!!!! thats intense...get well soon mate, nice work jono your always around to help when someone bins...lol

it seems so dude.
you still on ya CBR?

To kill some speculation all I can say is we won’t really know what happened until Warrens memory fills in some gaps. All the poor guy can remember is his back wheel slipping gripping and slipping and gripping, he was thinking he needed to stop and check his rear tyre.
Going by the marks on the road, Terminal and I can only make some observations such as;
Nothing about the corner indicates it’s a contributor to the accident; it’s an easy sweeper.
The white lines were thin, dry and presented no real issue

There’s a shit load of tyre stuck to a cats eye then the black skid marks start – then the marks where it high sided
The bike obviously skidded along, gauging a line along the tar – coming to rest on the side of the road followed by a flame, then burnt.

Poor bugger

Poor bugger was probably a good safe rider and taking no chances and it still went pear-shaped.

But the old story holds true - "lie down with dogs and you'll get up with fleas"

(Not saying you have fleas Carver but you get my drift re the M.F.)

Get well Warr and don't let this experience put you off riding, hope the healing is not too painful.......:niceone:

[MidnightMike]

Wow, that is a spectacular crash.

I dont know him, but from what i read in this thread hes a careful rider.

Heal up.

Mike.

[Mental Trousers]

Any more details?????????i dont think im allowed to say too much...

This question about accidents has been discussed many times before. Basically, the people that need to know, ie family etc will be told. Anyone not told directly by those close to the person don't need to know. Often it isn't appreciated by family members. So on this particular issue it is ALWAYS best to err on the side of caution because anything else can lead to incredibly inappropriate speculation.

[Swoop]

You sick fuck.. a good friend is in hospital and all you can do is take the piss

If you said that around me,, id kick your fucking head in
You noticed that my first concern was for Warren's health, as posted below? NOT taking the piss, but seriously concerned for a fellow rider of a decent type of bike.

All the best for a fast recovery Warren!

Then a compliment to Carver for acting so dillegently at the scene?

Good on him! Well done.



warr aint in the few.

he was saying how slow we were...

thats right, read it again.
Warren is obviously having a giggle with "te few" as well. Poking the borax over the marketing department of "te few" is always in jest (especially with "aproximately 65kmh speeds" being dangerous... we have all seen their video's!).
Teflon, my apologies to you.
Warren, once again, heal fast buddy!

[chanceyy]

Ouch & wow Warren .. heal up fast mate - echo the others thoughts .. but have to wonder when the "honda" bbq jokes will start :whistle:

& Carver kudos for your cool head, & doing the right thing :niceone:

[fLaThEaD FreD]

When your up it's such a Buzz.
I dont know you Warren but thoughts are with you. I have my final clearance on Thursday to ride again........Just in time for summer...........grab that Laptop and stay in touch . Get well soon Bro! :doctor::ride:

[TerminalAddict]

I've seen him again tonight ...

he called me !?!?!?!? .. and asked for visit.

he's booked in to see the sharp pointy end of a scalpal tomorrow

when the morphein machine starts pumping the conversation can get very entertaining to say the least :)

It was good to see him in high spirits tho' .. happy his mate rossi (err .. nevermind .. don't want to post a spoiler) .. .sad his mate jono (kickingzebra) had a "thing" today.

I passed on thoughts from mountlocal1, eman, switch, and others that have asked me to, and he was full of bad jokes about people offering parts for repairs, and comments on his ability to ride ;)

[smoky]

he called me !?!?!?!? .. and asked for visit.


Mate ... didn't realise he had suffered any brain damage - poor guy
Or was he asking about the drugs your on, and can you get him any

[kickingzebra]

How could this have happened????
Warren is one of the safest riders I know!!!

Labour will win the next election and most certainly deserve to.

Cowpoos is a fine nice upstanding young man ;)

I am still concussed....


Thoughts are with Warr, Gutted, all these mates breaking limbs all over the place. Hope to catch up soon buddy,
Shot Aow, to all those involved, Carver has jumped a notch in my estimation, and TA, hmm, good score on some tyres huh?

[MarkH]

Anyone not told directly by those close to the person don't need to know. Often it isn't appreciated by family members. So on this particular issue it is ALWAYS best to err on the side of caution because anything else can lead to incredibly inappropriate speculation.

I think apart from some general gist of what happened any detailed account of the accident can wait until the rider in question (Warren in this case) feels like telling the tale. We may be curious, but we have no right to know anything. Hopefully Warren has a full recovery, I don't know him but it sounds like he is a good guy and doesn't deserve to have this happen to him.

its all good....

i alway like riding with warr, and i hope to continue doing so in the near future

[bandit_chick]

Hey this is warrs daughter, thanx for all the good wishes. I told him that there was a thread about him and he was stoked to hear that. He is getting his wrists operated on tomorrow i think, both are broken and a few hand bones are broken. His ribs down one side are all fractured, along with broken collar bone and broken shoulder blade. The story seems to be that his rear tyre blew when he hit a cats eye, then he skidded for about 20m, got thrown off and knocked unconcious. Thanx to the dude that was first on the scene, and big ups to my brother who had to wait there all day for the bike to be picked up, ur a legend.

Hi, good to hear from you. Sorry to hear about the damage your dad had and hope he heals good and well. Question, does he have insurance on the VFR? Is there anything we can do to help?

For example if you put up an bank account number etc, I am sure I and a few others are more than keen to donate to the Warr recovery fund.

I have ridden with him a few times in the past and in the last grand challange.

Cheers
Zapf

[TerminalAddict]

no insurance :(

[vifferman]

[Photos] on request...from a family member
thats all of them
That's not nice - it's the same model, year and colour as my old VFR.
Sorry to hear about your bin, Warr. Get well soon mate.

[TerminalAddict]

warren has called me again this morning :D he can barely string a sentence together, but he wants to call me :D

He's waiting to visit surgery today to start work on his wrist, and there has been mention of pins in his hands.

Still doped up "to the max"

[FROSTY]

Please if anybody is talking to warr today pass on my regards.
Hope ya get well soon mate.
That VFR must be cursed.
First it falls off the back of a ute whem RIB owned it.
I bought it and it had a good crack at me on piecock hill.
Warr bought it from me and its had a go at him

[TerminalAddict]

I tell him frosty wants the bike back ;)

[007XX]

Shit, bugger crap....:(:(

Really sorry to hear Warr...heal up quick and well!

[vifferman]

I bought it and it had a good crack at me on piecock hill.
Warr bought it from me and its had a go at him
My VFR was the same. Of all the bikes I've owned, it was the only one to give me grief:
- Low-sided it on the way to work when an 'invisible' (couldn't see it till I inspected the road carefully afterwards) kamikaze softdrink can positioned itself under my front tyre on tip-in, trashing my new jacket, breaking the front brake lever, and re-damaging my shoulder.
- A kamikaze pedestrian leaped out in front of me a few weeks later, causing $3800 of damage that she had to pay for. Oh - and breaking her leg in two places.
- Just got it back from the painters, and a kamikaze woman changed lanes without indicating, causing me to drop it on the road.
- A kamikaze driver u-turned into me on my way to work, causing mucho ($6800) 'cosmetic' damage.

Don't know you Warren, but the Ducati Owners' Club here in Auckland is wishing you a speedy recovery.

We passed the scene minutes after the incident. The bike was in flames and Warren was on the sidelines being attended to.....very sobering.

Although, not as dramatic as your accident was a member of the club that had a similar spill. The bearings froze up. I thought that could be the case, after reading some of the threads when "gripping and sliding" was described.
Some sort of lock up anyway.

Again, all the best to you and your's for a speedy recovery.

And one for your mates who support you.....you must be an alright sort of guy!

[PaddyFZ1]

Heal up soon Warren
Will be up to see you in a couple of days once they get you off the good stuff.

[ManDownUnder]

Jesus - I just found this... sorry to hear about the off guys. The bikes a mess!

Carver - that's bitch of a thing to be stuck looking at. Nothing worse than a mate in pain. Hope you're ok too.

[saul]

Wo thats a nasty scene for sure..

Big ups to the first on the scene.

Hope to hear the the ops and your recovery go well..

Warm regards.

[sAsLEX]

Great to hear Warr came out of this in a better state than his bike!




A point on the below.

Would the KB community gain in the knowledge that cat eyes can cause blow outs? Or should we keep it secret, and let another person learn this lesson?

(if that was the cause)

We've already had that argument plenty of times in the past and nothings changed.

Family > A bunch of people the person has never met

[smoky]

Actually it’s pure speculation

[2 wheel madness]

bad news from such a talented rider. will let the drugs wear off and family have their time and come see you soon.

im fine, shit happens i guess, once its happened, there aint much that can be done.

i saw the whole thing, and i have my own opinion on it, but il keep it to myself.
i have filled warren in on everything i saw

Dad probably forgot everything you told him the second you finished saying it. We would really like to know the full story, so do u reckon you cud let me in on your secret, whatever it is?

i dont know if you remember, but i know you though mr sam cook.

its sweet girl, warren would have done the same for me, or anyone else in trouble.

[bandit_chick]

Just an update, he got his left wrist/hand operated on yesterday for about 4 hrs or something. I think they put pins or plates in his hands. Iv heard that hes doing better today, hes still in the high dependency unit tho, and only allowed two visitors at a time. I am going to see him today and will let u know how hes doing after that. Im going to show him this thread on my laptop so he'll be able to read all your well wishes, im sure that will brighten his day :yes:

[bandit_chick]

Well i have been up to see dad (warr), he was pretty sleepy but doing a lot better than last time i saw him. He was sitting in a chair for a bit this morning, and they are going to move him to a ward either today or tomorrow i think. He has pins in his left hand now, and at some stage they are going to put a metal rod along his right arm and screw that into his bone to keep that wrist healing straight. So for anyone that wants to visit, i wud say wait a few more days so that hes not so tired and stuff. I read him some of the stuff that you guys have written and he had a bit of a laugh and appreciates all the well wishes. So thanx for all of that and i will keep u posted.

[vifferman]

It's good to hear of his progress.
He'll have to stay away from x-ray machines, metal detectors, hadron colliders, and large magnets.
Or are they rebuilding him better than he was before, with lots of race-spec titanium? That could be bad, as he'd have to buy a race bike. :confused:

Tell him to heal well, and if he doesn't pay attention, give him the bash from all us concerned folks at KB.

[SPman]

Ouch, ouch and ouch!
Sorry to hear of Warrens off - not nice - but at least he's mendable.
Still have visions of Warren on the XJ sitting calm and virtually upright, in the middle of a bunch of sportybikes who were at all the racey angles in the middle of a corner, and giving away nothing in terms of cornering speed or control.......:Punk:
Get well soon,cobber!

Mate, from what we saw on the weekend he's going to glow in the dark. They were almost following his bed around with a portable X ray machine.

[Kendog]

All the best for the recovery Warren.

[rocketman1]

Don't know you Warren, but this sounds like one nasty accident.
Get well soon mate, and hope it all works out OK for you.
I see these dudes getting all banged up doing high sides on the MotoGP track
But its a different thing on the tough gravels of NZ roads
Hope it hasn't put you off getting back on a bike again

[samwp]

The last time I saw Warren he was very quickly and smoothly leaving me behind somewhere just west of Hamilton

wait it was at the Chartwell mall I was telling him I had another bike and wanted to go for a ride.

Although I don't know many people who have been riding for a long time he's the fastest rider I know and without the ego of people half as fast as him.

All the best with your recovery Warren, I'll pay a visit in a few days.

[bandit_chick]

He has been moved to ward 2, room 10. Hes doing heaps better, so id say go hard on the visiting. Still only allowed 2 visitors at a time tho, but im not sure how much they enforce that.

Will be coming up in a few weeks probally :) Hopefully by then he will be at home. Im sure he would like a visit from us
Tell him he can borrow my Hyosung until he gets his bike replaced :laugh:

[kanny]

:doctor: Get well soon.Thinking of you

i would agree with you.
i always like riding with him because we ride at the same pace, but its all just fun and games, nothing serious or egotistical

always a nice guy to ride with, thats for sure.

Yeah I thought he was heaps better yesterday ... Mrs TA fed him dinner .. t'was funny to watch :P

[deeknow]

Went up to see Warr this arvo in Ward2 and was pleased to see plenty of life in the old boy :clap:

He was actually on his feet yesterday too moving down the corridor at snails pace which is bloody impressive, no doubt the morphine pump was helping with mobility. Fed him some of the banter from the forum posts which seemed to be well received.

To add insult to injury though and as if he isnt in enough discomfort the bloody plumbers are busy right next door to his room whacking away with a jack-hammer :headbang: Had a laugh about that at Warr's expense.

Basically I was impressed by how well he appeared to be taking things. On the road to recovery I suspect. Dont bother taking too much reading material in if you go for a visit coz his fingers and writsts wont be up to much page turning. Maybe we could put in some $$ for a pretty nurse to sit beside him reading him some bed-time stories :doctor:

[Dargor]

Well my turn for an update. Warr's been looking better and they let him home today. Some of the family got time to have birthday cake in hospital before he left. Then once home, got to have more cake.

[Holy Roller]

Great to hear that Warr is up and about. Take care and mend quickly. pity about not being able to do the GC this year. I'll keep an eye in here to see how you are doin.

pm me before you come so i+dagor can see your hot daughter

[TerminalAddict]

he's out .. and at home

[Warr]

Arr I finally found this thread!!

Many thanks to those who looked after me following my accident and especially to the Matarangi First Response Ambulance crew who helped sort things out on the road-side.

My thanks too to Carver who was the first on the scene and for helping notify those back at home and keeping everything together post crash.

The Auckland Air Ambulance crew for getting me to Waikato Hospital. The list of good people who use their skill and expertise in ways to mend broken bodies is long, but a big thankyou from me.

All the reasons why and what-ifs, sorry I can shed no further details. I have no recollection of anything to do with the crash. My rear tyre was not new and was to be changed for my next warrent.
But it would appear to have failed resulting in a massive high side.

My Quasi gear did everything it was supposed to do, including the back protector which I'm sure minimized spinal and abdomen damage. Sadly its all a little second hand now, but money well spent.

My injuries ... makes for impressive reading in my hospital discharge report..
Left ribs front 8, left ribs back 4.
Shoulder, actual joint is intact but 3 bones around it are broken.
Left hand must have got crushed, it has a diagonal fracture line running from my little figure knuckle back to the wrist.
Right hand, wrist broken and dislocated.

Pain hasnt been too bad, just each day better than the previous.

Instead of burying my bike in a landfill I put it on TM for anyone with a VFR 750F that could use some parts. So far bidding is hot!! and I may even get $2 for it !!

Sounds pretty nasty! Must be a bitch having both hands munted. You must have taken a HTFU pill to be back posting so quick.

Been a while since this thread had anything written in it, but today I returned to my accident site.
Wish now I had gone there sooner ... as in made a special trip as soon as I was able.
Emotions were heightened as I remembered the last few corners before my Sep 08 accident.
Not too much left, tho I did pick up a couple of souvenirs :)

[smoky]

Did ya work it out? any clearer in your mind as to what happened

Glad to hear that the healing process is well underway Warr!
It is a difficult decision, returning to a location with significant importance to someone.

[vifferman]

Da-yumm! Not a happy thing, Warr. I hope you're healing well.
ALl the best to you, Sir.

[deeknow]

Jeeze Warr.. I know you've got the man-upstairs on your side but this conincidence is ridiculous. Was just thinkin bout you today and wondering what you were up to, and on Friday night I bumped into Sidewinder (yeah, I tried to avoid him :msn-wink:) at the petrol bowser and we were talkin bout you there too. Sounds like a sensible move facing demons and all that :devil2:

Must catch up bro. (you still watchin MotoGP out at Whatawhata?)

[MDR2]

For the love of all things shaven... :angry:
Heal up mate :sunny:

i can't stop watching your avatar :D

Nothing at all, in fact it was nice of him to provide the privacy of his work van :spanking:

WHAT ?!! . You told me *I* was! You lied to me.! Oh my God, I feel so used. So dirty. I have to go and take a shower. How could you. Do you have NO regard for my feelings ??!!!!!

get over it old man, us young-un's are a different breed.

i was not a fan of throwing a rock down a mineshaft anyways

[Warr]

Did ya work it out? any clearer in your mind as to what happened
Clearer ... No not at all. I tried to imagine how I could have lost it on the left-hander. Not really much of a corner at all.
There were still some gouges on the road coming from the direction I was traveling. Deep ones where the bike must have hit hard, still lots of plastic in the ditch back up the road where the fairing must have exploded.
The souvenirs of interest was taken from the point of fire. A previous molten bit of frame & a piece of fairing with a precious 1/4 turn zeus fastener !

Best conclusion I can draw is rear tyre loss of adhesion to road from sudden loss of pressure by either blowout or rolled it on the rim due to lack of adequate pressure causing uncontrollable 2 wheel slide and subsequent dramatic high-side.

[Ixion]

Is the cats-eye still a suspect?

[Warr]

Is the cats-eye still a suspect?
Too much time has passed to determine where the slide started. Unless there could be further evidence I suspect the cats-eye just happened to be in the way when the bike was sliding. Contact with a non-movable object like that could have contributed to the mayhem but I feel it is unlikely to have started it.

Its good to go and face the realities of the road ... I found with the sites of accidents past that i have visited it removes the bogies from it and makes me face fear (not my accident scenes).

[TerminalAddict]

nice day out ;)

Deeknow: trying to watch motogp .... damn university assignments seem to take so much of my time :(

You should come out some time :)
