    We hate cagers because it makes us feel and look so "bad ass"

    Not stopping.... That's a fucking Coward Of The Year candidate.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Totally sucks. Glad the gear did it's job and you were able to get out...

    Regardless of what you could have done to avoid it, what a wanker for not stopping. Hope you heal well and soon.

    Getting on the bike - you're a tougher man than me. I probably would have sat by the roadside whimpering.

    Anyway - bloody good job it wasn't a head on. I know you said you are not employed - but thought of asking for some family / friends to shout you a track day or two? Of course you need to heal up, but if you want to clip it along - maybe a track would be a good place for it.

    Just goes to show you always need to have an escape route and too expect the unexpected.

    If we are honest with ourselves, I don't think every rider thinks another car will be going head on on each and every bend.

    The good thing about roads you know well - is anticipating where drivers might be on the wrong side of the road trying to overtake etc... and be extra cautious in those places.

    Heal up. Don't worry about the bike. Yeah - I know, money and it is your bike smashed up - but it can be fixed.

    hope you heal up fast dude.
    I agree with what everyone else has said about the 100ish ks over a creast of a blind hill. You never no what is on the other side yes the teranno was in your space but it could of been a kid on a bike or a dog to so while the teranno driver was in the wrong there are things to be learnt. I hope that they didn't relise that they had caused an accidant because not stopping after a motorcycle had just run off the road and down a bank is a cowardly thing to do.
    Hope you can heal up so you can get a new job so you can fix the bike and get back out there.

    The driver, if he/she knew they should have stopped...

    That aside; by your own admission you were riding hard and fast! You may well think you know a road like the back of your hand, however, you never know what's on it or what's coming the other way.

    Heal well, heal fast.

    There's a reason the road code says you need to be able to stop in less than half the distance of clear road you can see ahead. (Yes 'of course' I always ride that way ... )
