pukekohe crash

**wkid_one** · 28th March 2005, 08:16

I think people should just fucken harden up and realise a couple of things:
1. People will crash
2. People will take the piss out of it
3. Other people will be sympathetic
4. A section of people with insinuate, infer or plainly tell the rider s/he sucks and shouldn't be near a bike

People (eg Feint) should stop crying/whinging like nancy boys/girls and take their medicine. It you can't stand the heat - don't post details of your/the fucken accident on here!

Yes an accident is a bad thing (been there), but for some people blaming the rider (and not riding in general) is a means of coping. Also - it is nearly ALWAYS the rider that has the accident (excepting mechanical failure - which could still be traced back to poor maintenance/attention by the rider).

If you ride - you will invariably have an accident (stats back me up here) - some people don't like to be reminded of this.

And Feint - everyone is entitled to an opinion - some people on here may believe that pre-accident he was riding like an idiot

I posted this post because the responses to all the other accident posts were of encouraging words and get well messages. All I wanted was a list so that I could print out and hand to this poor fella. I assumed that I would get that as every other post has words of encouragemnt. I didn't realise that this would happen. But, I learnt my lesson, I won't post to help another down biker. Another thing Wkid_one. It isn't my accident. I was just the first person down there to help him, and I feel as if I could have helped him more by posting on here, compiling a list and printing it out for him.

If you really have a problem with me posting this post in the first place, by all means PM me and we can sort this out. My intention was to help this guy. I don't know why that is so hard.

This has really been a disaster.

maybe he was maybe he wasn't. Were you there to see it?

Hook line and sinker! Point proven

**StoneChucker** · 28th March 2005, 08:42

Look, I'm not going to jump deep into THIS arguement mostly because I wasn't there...

What I will say is:
1) Yes people will crash, it's a probability but it's ALWAYS unfortunate when it happens. I feel for the rider, and I hope he recovers quickly. Thoughts and wishes to you mate!
2) While it IS silly to ride carelessly when you could put other people at risk, who's to say anyone was riding carelessly? Some people are more proficient at certain riding activities which would seem careless to other people. I don't mind someone wheeling past me. That is silly behaviour obviously, but I accept that they CAN do it, and that I take much greater risks out on the road everyday.
3) XJ/FROSTY is a top bloke. Obviously someone misheard something, and got all worked up. Tony I guarantee that noone thinks badly of you. He is also a man of great morals. He resisted the advances of a woman who threw herself at him, trying to pull of his leathers (new years hehehe

)
4) Curious George, thanks

A very humerous pic there. I shall try fastidiously to keep my bike and I OFF the Armco's!

Dude I dont know if it is or isnt unusual for the armco to be like that. I suspect that if we look round the track we will find heaps with sticking out bolts.Should be pan head bolts that go flush with the armco but they might be using hex head bolts which would cut through leathers like a knife if ya hit em at speed.
Keep in mind when we are "really" racing the bales are in front of the armco there.
I guess its a good argument for bike only track days -and on the day after a race day. That way hopefully the bales will be left out overnight.
Thank gosh he's basicly alright and in the hands of the experts.

Guys can we please let this die.
Lets not let a simple misunderstanding split up a bloody good community.
There is and always will be a small section of any community who perhaps to boost their own self importance, or perhaps just because they are spiteful will shit stir for the pure fun of watching us fight. perhaps also enjoying something good destroyed.
As someone said -maybee he stuffed up maybee he diddn't !!
The really important thing is that a fellow KBer is in hospital hurt.
Can someone please have another go at a get well soon thread

Is he a member? Thought he didnt post on here? Whats his KB post name?

**Rainbow Wizard** · 28th March 2005, 15:03

So those bloody pirates and hijackers do it again. I reckon the moderators should set up a system that can impose posting limits on anyone that stuffs up the spirit of a thread, a sort of parole/rep points with balls thingy.

**Firefight** · 28th March 2005, 17:25

hey KBers stopped into see Gary again this afternoon.

Spent about 30 mins with him, hes a bit more aware of whats going on now, still in heaps of pain, he will be having more surgery tomorow, this is to clean wound out and put some steel in place.

Or people could just harden up and not be so soft!

**Suney** · 28th March 2005, 22:47

I went to visit Gary today as well. Nice meeting you firefight

**Firefight** · 29th March 2005, 16:48

slight set back for Gary, his surgery was delayed this am, he is booked to go in tonight, depending on how many urgent or acute cases come up. But hes in good spirits, and pleading to go home already.. Also much more chatty.

Roo, I gave him a copy of the pm you sent me, he read it and said to say thanks.

Firefight.

Dave,
please pass my best wishes to Gary. I don't know him but Ange got home on Saturday and told me all about the poor guy who'd crashed at Puke that day (she was working in the evening when he must've gone into theater) and it really sounded bad. Glad he's conscious but really sorry to hear he's so beaten up.

Will do Richard.
