The first bit kind of sets the scene for the event though. All care, no responsibility.
DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
1. I am aware that the sport of Motorcycling might:
a. Cause me injury, serious or otherwise.
b. Damage my property.
2. I wish to take part in this training day despite the above risks.
He signed that off to AMCC, not every other participent.
I do. You do realise that if I got hit by an old lady on the road whose insurance policy had lapsed then I could expect to either get paid by her directly or follow some court process and collect money from her, right?
kiwibiker is full of love, an disrespect.

Unfuckingbelieveable.
You roll the dice you take your chances. It ain't cool to blame the others at the table if you luck out.
Nobody seems to be considering that maybe the other guy had no malicious or mischievous intent. That he didn't set out to undertake on purpose and that he simply misjudged things(as CFWB said).
If insurance has paid out the OP then he may (injuries aside) have come out as well or better than the other 'accident' victim
So what are we talking about then? persecuting the other victim because he didn't come off as bad. Maybe the other victim was braking in reasonable time to overtake the OP on the inside before the corner and the OP is a nonce and braked way too early then fucked up by turning in early and cutting across the other victims line?
We shouldn't be too quick to pass judgement based on only one side of the OP'sstory.
Political correctness: a doctrine which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd from the clean end.
There is a culture in New Zealand motorcyling that suggests all track days are to be undertaken willing because they will improve the rider who undertakes them's skill. I don't think that we should accept what may well be the status quo that having your bike destroyed on such an event is fine because it was on a race track.Originally Posted by Kornholio[/QUOTE

The organisers of ART take safety VERY seriously and are very quick to pull up dangerous riding.
I fully understand that the OP feels hard done by but I hope it doesnt put him off ART (or any other track days).
I hope the OP has a speedy recovery and gets out again. Bales are softer than ditches.
Ah, another side of the story perhaps? relative speed and line choice through a very quick corner could have played a part in the incident. Just sayin
Correct, so what. Every other participant on the race track that day also (presumably) signed the same document. Therefore, everyone on the track acknowledged in writing that what they were doing could potentially cause them injury (serious or otherwise) or damage their property. Despite this imminent risk, both the OP and every other participant still wanted to participate in the activity.
Call me stupid but I don't remember signing anything like this when I got my Drivers Licence. Nor do I sign anythink like this when I pay my rego, jump on the bike or into the car for a pootle on the road..
