Police are seeking information about a serious motorcycle crash in Upper Hutt on Saturday afternoon.

One man is in intensive care in Wellington Hospital after hitting the Moonshine Bridge on River Road.

Constable Jim Veale says the motorcyclist involved was travelling with three other bikers.

He says police want to hear from the other drivers in the group and the driver of a van, who was seen waiting to turn right into Moonshine Road.

?? Three other bikers ? Thought there was only one.

Glad to hear he's getting out of ICU.

That is fantastic news that Stonechucker is now moving rooms...
He will have more nurses to watch... and be cheeky to...

Now I could always send down the grumpy nurse that I had when I was in hospital... she would keep him in line...lol.

Having just caught up on KB news I'm very shocked/sorry to hear Dave was involved in an accident.

Good to hear he's still with us atleast and I'm sure he's already on the way to a full recovery.

Hope you and the rest of the guys are doing okay!

Visited Dave this morning with his parents and Celtic Sea Lily.
He looks a hell of a lot better than when I saw him last.
Pretty groggy from the pain killers and he kept on falling asleep then wakeing up. He can talk but not very much and did remember me but has no idea what happened.
He asked his Dad which bike it was and grunted when told it was the R1.

Police have impounded the bike pending the investigation.

IMPORTANT

Does anybody know who rides a Red VTR1000 and a RED, BLUE & WHITE nc style bike.....my memory is a bit vague on these guys as I focused on Dave.
These guys were directly behind me when Dave crashed and the police would like to talk to them as they may be able to shed some light as to what happened.

great news that he's moved into the wards..
the drugs are pretty strong stuff, that's for sure!

He might remember in time, if he wants to. Hopefully the other riders come forward tho, and that van driver is found

Hey, just read this thread this morning. Very sorry to hear of the accident, I will have the jitters a bit riding home tonight I'm sure. Glad to hear he is awake and ok, I would say he is one very lucky guy.

Get well soon matey

**Lou Girardin** · 27th June 2005, 15:52

Good to hear he's improving. There but for the grace of God etc.

He's moving limbs and talking coherently although obviously in some serious pain and rather tired...not to mention bored outta his fricken tree.

NC ... the loverly chick that she is ... took in a care package which included a poster, I asked him if he would prefer a hot naked chick or a nice bike poster, he replied "a bike" so I think he definitely on the mend

He was on his way to the Ornatheo...Orthapes...Orthapae....he was on his way to another ward (not ICU) at 1pm

...Oh shit, I forgot to wash off that clinical acid handwashy stuff

...scuse me

I have been letting Ramius know via text on updates on SC.
He is pleased that everything is going well for Stonechucker.
And he also said that, the ward that SC is in, is full of nice nurses.

Here is his text responce back re the poster.
Txt message from Ramius: Thats a true biker!
