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.

we will just need to wait until he comes out of the op to find out?

Hi VTwin, Sorry to hear mate and good luck to Dave coming through theatre.
I chatted you today at WMCC, which one was Dave? What jacket does he wear? Hope you are doing OK mate. It's always so tragic hearing such things and what makes it worst is when it's such a responsible rider involved.
Thoughts with you both!!!

Dave was the shorter guy with the full beard talking to me.

maybe something went wrong with the bike??? maybe the wheel locked up through the corner or something because from what people have said we can rule out road conditions...and his riding ...i would say only thing left is something went wrong with the bike?

Mmmmm I wonder what Dave will get once he's back to 100%.

Maybe this...

Maybe he'll follow the current crowd and get a sexy 636.

Hopefully the thought of shopping and then breaking in a new baby will help him over the coming weeks.

Unfortunately people make mistakes and accidents happen - its a case of being human. It's also why ACC exists at all.

I think it would be more appropriate to put positive talk here rather than trying to suss the cause of the accident right now - I'm sure when he gets back online he doesn't want to read all your messages of WHAT WENT WRONG!!! especially if it just was a bad call, which we all know being motorcyclists ourselves can happen even with the most experience.

Our thoughts go to his friends and family right now in this very difficult time from Chic 'n' Charge and Stevo.

Dave - be strong mate and hang in there. Things will be rough but the good times will return - especially with the knowledge you have so many friends thinking of you. Take care. :spudwave:

I want the man himself to explain it to me

**skidMark** · 25th June 2005, 19:21

**DrHook** · 25th June 2005, 19:21

Thoughts and prayers to you SC.

All the best Dave, you'll do fine and be able to tell us yourself what went wrong.

Bruce, Relax mate... there is nothing you could have done to control the situation. We all ride in the knowledge that we have to be aware of everything that is going on around us and act and react appropriately.
