Does the R1 have a sharp kick in the powerband that could have sent the rear wheel heading to the right barrier?
How did it happen? I know the bridge isn't the flashest piece of engineering - but how did he manage to hit the barrier....on a bike you have heaps of room???
Saw Dave & Bruce returning from their ride over the hill as Viv & I were going to Martinborough. This has come as a bit of a shock as Dave is not a fast rider and does not take risks. We came back thru the accident scene, everything was cleaned up but still plenty of police doing their thing, did not think the road was slippery but it was bloody cold, would be interested to find out what happened.
Dave all the best & Bruce shit happens.
If you're not living on the edge you're not leaning over far enough
Not that would do this. It just doesn't make sense...Originally Posted by alarumba
Thoughts are with you Dave.
Besides my earlier comment about perhaps he lost the back end another possibility could be maybe he clipped a car that was taking up too much room.
Cheers

Thank God........ any more news on Dave??Originally Posted by Hitcher
Unfortunately these things happen and can't be helped. Thoughts and wishes there and hope you pull through ok Stonechucker.
Hmmm Dave is always a very safe rider. Would be unusual for him to get that close to a car.Originally Posted by merv
Has anyone seen my baffles?
edited by request, also to say it was not a lecture. just a reminder to not ever assume anything on the roads.
either way, he will live. theres too many folks willing for him to do so.

the really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.
I have met Dave a few times and he is a good man. We both had new R1s and looks like we have both written em off. Unfortunatley he came off worse. Good luck to you mate am thinking of you.
ahhh... hell why not might have another for ya Stonie get well soon![]()

Dave went into theatre about 2hrs ago.
It has me scratching my head wot happened.
Road was clean
Plenty of grip
Wasn't dark or wet
Dave being the rider that he is rules out speed....plus you could see the traffic banking up cause there was a fucking tractor on the bridge doing 30-40 kms on a state highway.
Leading up to the bridge I could see all the traffic so I slowed down to 70-80km. As I entered the bridge I had to do some heavy braking because of the tractor ahead......That's when I heard the BANG.
Like I said you could see the traffic banking up and the road was good.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy
