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

Everyone send Stonechucker your best hopes and thoughts!!!!!
Power is nothing without control.
Here for the arcade.
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

My prayers go out to Stonechucker

Was he out by himself, or with others? no one else involved?
<< Got fuck all of these
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?
