    I did that road 3 times the day before because it is a quiet slightly twisty road to practice on as a newbie!
    Is it just me as a newbie or is everyone getting a bit nervous out there with these fatalities and ongoing crashes??

    The road goes from Pukekohe east road (main drag between Puke town & Bombay about half way along that road turn at the tennis courts) and ends up on the bottom of Gt Sth Rd Drury end.

    My thoughts are with all concerned. Never knew the guy or saw any of his posts that I remember but sounded like a decent guy. RIP.

    That is so sad. I just had a look at the thread the guy started after his first time out on the road on 24 December...just 13 days ago. Sounds like he thought about what he was doing on the road and was eager to learn.
    Damn. This one really hurts.

    RIP fella.
