Went all wrong today

Speeds irrelevant really.

Best wishes to your mate Sensei.

Looks like we need to take a good hard look at the way we are riding on organised rides, if we have Newbee riders along consider them, I know that not all Newbee's have no skills as some have natural skills and are bourn riders but they still have to learn the defensive part of Motorcycling. Like most people no one want's to be at the back of the pack and if the are some experienced riders on liter sports bikes most newbee's will have a crack at keeping up especialy in the twisty stuff. this sites aim is to be inclusive but im wondering weather it is a good idea to mix 150/250's in on a ride when the guys riding any thing 600cc and above are out to cut loose.

P.S I hope the rider recovers quickly and also feel for the car driver

Holy shite.... that bike is a blardy mess... another bike gone to bike heaven...

I hope the rider heals up well and will be back riding again in the future....

Please take care out there and ride safe.
oh and do slow down.


People if you want to go fast and race, please go and find a race track...
you will learn heaps of more riding skills out there on a track...
Thats part of the reason Frosty does the track days..
Lets all keep safe out there.

He's the luckiest unlucky guy around to have managed to survive that one.

I wish him all the best for a swift and complete recovery.

Sensei...pls pass on a "get well soon"!
he can look to Yukio Kagayama for inspiration...getting back on a bike, that is!

Glad to hear that Boe is not too bad because I initially thought it could easily be far worse. Nice to see the amount of people who just stopped what they was doing and helped out. Also thanks to whoever was fanning Boe and the rest of us there while waiting for the helecopter. Indeed, this is roads that we travel on and not a personal race track. If you push the limits, then you not only risk your own life, but also others' who use the same roads. The cage driver was really shaken up, I think its going to take him awhile to get over it. As we left the scene, only a few minutes down the road came a cattle truck. I thought to myself, had that been in the place of the cage, then we'd be going to another funerial. Take it easy all.

Shit - bad news there, but glad to hear he will pull through OK, Scott.
If it was the car in the dip scenario - have almost been caught out that way myself - very easy to do, particularly if you are making quick decisions - check the road ahead, including the dip, pull out and "HOLY SHIT" - car appears from the dip which you were certain was clear, even when you have allowed a couple of seconds "clearance time"!
Glad to hear the people in the car were OK as well - its bad enough to bin when there's only the rider involved....when another vehicle is involved its just all the more serious....
