Greymouth man survives accident

Regardless of the bike, you all go out together, you all come back together.

It's shit that this could happen and the bloke pinned under his bike must've been fearing the worst. When he recovers I dare say he'll have words for his 'mates'.

They were probably to busy looking at themselves in thier mirrors rather than looking out for each other......

Or....they were totally wasted

& high on speed

That's crazy shit that they didn't realse he wasn't there!!!!!
That poor chap, I would be saying abit more than a few words, pin them down under their bikes for 14 hours then talk about it!

I must say that every group ride I'm on it's always look out for the one behind you!

That's just crazy!!!! Remind me to never travell behind Harley Riders in the S.I ..... f a r k that

I am sitting here telling the story to me wife, pissing myself laughing... of course feeling for puddle face guy, It had to be some joke I thought... what the???

Shit happens I know... but this is shocking.

everybody is operating on the assumption that this guy was "well known" to the group. For all we know he may have been new to the ride and therefore no-one knew him well enough to know he was missing.

I couldn't count the number of rides I've been on where I didn't know anybody - and I'm pretty sure unless I ran off the road in full view of another rider the odds are I wouldn't have been missed.

I wouldn't assume that they can even read in the first place...

is'nt there a thread about "how much experience to you have" or would this not come into it keeping an eye out for a fellow rider weather you know him well or not, like GB said shit happens but it still shouldn't take 450 k's to find out

**kwakalover** · 12th October 2009, 10:40

i was on a group ride once where the guy in front of me went down badly,

the rest of the group were back with us in about 5 mins after noticing that there was no one behind them a few miles up the road,

i know it can't always be like this but still 450K's????

Omigod! You've all missed the point of this article.
It's not about how his mates all pissed off and left him - it's about how his evil Harley tried to kill him - first by crashing off the road, then when that failed it tried to crush him, then finally resorted to trying to drown him in a puddle!

The topic header should've read: "Greymouth man survives homicidal Harley"

He should've worn a full face helmet. I'm guessing he had an open face jobbie. A full face helmet would've given him room to not only breath...but curse and swear his mates for leaving him behind...as the chin bar would've sat on the bottom of the puddle and kept his mouth approx 5mm above the waters surface.

Full face skid lids rule.
