    Protesting Biker Breaks Leg
    9:00 AM Sunday Nov 15, 2009

    One of the 300 motorcyclists protesting against ACC changes, at the Auckland Domain yesterday, had need for the service after coming off his bike and breaking his leg.

    The biker hit a car after leaving the domain, where Labour leader Phil Goff spoke against a levy increase from $252 to $735 for riders of machines over 600cc.
    The greatest pleasure of my recent life has been speed on the road. . . . I lose detail at even moderate speed but gain comprehension. . . . I could write for hours on the lustfulness of moving swiftly.

    The biker lost control on a corner, rider was slammed down on his side and the bike then hit an oncoming car.

    Completely unsure. But informed now.

    Thats a classic faux par especially after that rally.

    Was it skid mark?

    Has been done, but the bus owner does not seem to appreciate it...
