Missing Rider in the Hutt - FOUND!!

[Nasty]

Hi guys

A friend of a friend went out on his dirt bike yesterday and has not come home.

It is not known apart from somewhere in the Hutt - where he has gone. His level of experience is not high.

If anyone knows tracks etc that he may have gone to please contact me and I will feed through to the SAR team who are already involved.

So many uncertainties - if you bumped into a guy names Phil (welsh accident) green kwaka - yesterday while out riding CALL ME URGENTLY 021 404098.

Cheers
Nasty

Geez Hun, this is awful. I hope he is found safe and well and soon!

Good luck with the search. Thinking good thoughts for all of you and especially him.

Unfortunatly Nasty there are not to many Wellingtonions that post on here and I think most ride up Paraparam way?

Most of the riding from what I hear is out of Wgtn the except for the fire breaks on the Hutt Hills?? But the guys from Welly will be able to tell you more I've been away for 15 years now?

I will shoot into off road and see if I can get some names for you to PM so you can suss out some possible areas to look and add them to this post!

OK Off roads guys help a little here please!!

Edit: Ok most of the welly guys posting in this thread http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...on-tree-riders

Hopefully he hasn't gone to the firebreaks as I'd think they'd be pretty tricky if the weather is anything like it is in Dorkland??
Nasty the welly guys haven't posted for a little while but as a mod you might have some emails and/or contact numbers to make some inquiries?
I'd suggest Secondfild, Pornstar or kezzafish they seem to get about a bit? OH and flangmaster!

Hope this helps a little.

I called Nasty to say we rode Odlins Rd yesterday & we didn't see Phil there. When I speared off the track & into a big cutty grass bush the next rider didn't see me & kept going -so much for riding in groups! It is more probable he went into Karapoti/Akatarawa and they were putting up a helicopter. Fingers crossed they find him and he got lost/ran out of fuel/breakdown rather than had an accident.

Jeezus!- this is the kind of thing that I dread! - Im constantly asked by people - 'where can I go riding around here?" and I always say- Take two mates with you-minimum of three- just in case summat happens!

My thoughts are with you and his folks- I wish I was down there to get out and look myself.

[FlangMasterJ]

That's no good. I've ridden up the Karapoti by myself on numerous occasions. I don't think I'll be doing it anymore. Unfortunately I don't have a bike at the moment so I'm unable to go up and have a look. Hopefully some of the other Welly guys can arrange to have a scout around.

Hope he turns up safe and sound.

[WuZards-Eugene]

I went up the Firebreaks yesterday arvo, only saw three other guys up there in a group, none on a KLX400R. I came back from Blue Mountains at about 3pm.
Very likely that he could be in Karapoti, its easy to get horribly lost if you ride for long enough, and also quite a few drops off sides that are tempting. Give me a buzz if any helpers on bikes are needed (would mind the excuse to get off work).

[evoetr]

Yea if i can get off early ill go have a look.... unfortunately we didn't go all the way over to Karapoti yesterday just played around Mungatuks (Pram).... there wasnt many riders out yesterday cause of the event up in Foxton.

[xr-rider]

I would help except i dont have a access to a bike at the moment. So if any kapiti riders are heading up for a look and have a spare bike im willing to help.

At least if you got hurt, when they stopped to have a drink and wait for you, after you didn't turn up, you'd only be a short distance away and they'd know where to look. We always wait for the slower guys they are usually the ones pushing past their level to keep up anyway or they wait for me I should say LOL!!!

oh I just wondered what sort of van or ute does he have?? We never look for each other out on the trails, its to hard, we usually meet at base which is the carpark and our vehicles. The starting point for the search probably should be to find that, but SAR would know that.

Look just an idea, post up his car and trailer or van/ute details the welly boys might have more chance of having seen that when they have started or finished their ride???

So from the report http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post...t-motorcyclist

Its a KLX 400R isnt that a road/off road bike so my guess is that he might not of had a car/van/ute...
