Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods

Eeeek. Thats no good to hear. I'm glad you didn't follow the bike onto those rocks, they look like that last place you'd want to end up in.

Glad to see that you are alright Cibby, take it easy and heal up. I hope the insurance will cover the damages! Would have ended up alot nastier if you had followed the bike... like others have mentioned. Very glad that ya ok =)

Wow! Spectacular tumble eh?! Main thing is that yr ok, ( if it were me I know I'd be shedding a tear over me bike tho... ). That is a nasty bit of road at dusk and it gets worse when you get away from the coast up into the twisties. Rode from Kaiaua to Manurewa at dusk a week or so back and was having to brake almost to a halt cos of the sunstrike on some of the corners... literally couldn't see where the road went!
Hope you and the bike will be fixed for the Biker Angels ride...

Bad luck Cibby, I feel your pain. Get back on that horse as soon as you can

Not a retard at all! Just shows how road riding is not the same as track riding. You never know what's around (or on) the next corner. It can happen to anyone and is the reason we try to tell the less experienced to take extra care on the road. Glad you're okay and bein' looked after.The tyre companies have made incredible progress with tyre technology and wet road riding is a lot safer because of it, but no-one can come up with a road tyre that'll handle the situation you found yourself in!
You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.

Hey cibby - I just saw the bike... ouch.
Not Dovered but not happy either! I laughed when I saw your registration expiry date though - next Monday. If you were going to stack it... your timing was good - well... as good as it could be LMAO!
Look after yourself hun

where opinion holds more weight than fact.
It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
Rest In Peace
