    Stonechucker in major accident.

    Police report 13:20 today - a motorcyclist has serious/life threatening injuries after hitting the Moonshine Bridge, Tentham.

    When will we stop crashing and killing ourselves!

    Hope and pray for a brother or sister, people.

    And hope it's not anyone from here.

    Mate - we won't - riding a motorcycle is dangerous shit. Always has been - always will be.
    Take the precautions, wear the gear and accept it could happen to any one of us. There are some odds.

    Adds: hope the guy is OK and no one from here.

    That bridge is a death trap. Ought to have been pulled down and replaced years ago

    Frosty, you're right. It's on the Upper Hutt River Road

    Here's a very rough diagram of what the bridge is like

    Blue line in the river of course
    Black line is the current road and bridge
    Red line is where a bridge should be

    You can see they were cheap bastards and made the bridge as short as possible by approaching the river at a sharper angle. Ideally it would be straight across. There's a heap of crosses on that bridge, they should never have built it

    Re Dave _ Stonechcker

    Dave, our thoughts are with you brother.

    The only reason I only ride in the Iron man Class is I have no friends left to enter the two man events,
    my own fault really.

    Oh shit. Just checked this. I was up there not long ago and cops just closed the road as I was about to ride through. Please keep us updated if anyone knows anything.
    Has anyone seen my baffles?
