Another one down - Little Sister

[Bend-it]

What happens to the driver in this case?

They get a visit from a gaggle of angry bikers!!

Sorry about the off mate, hope they use lots of morphine!

[placidfemme]

That is terrible to hear Eddie. Hopefully she heals fast and there are no long term effects from this. Stay strong and our prayers are with you and your family.

[aff-man]

Man.. I hope she recovers quickly. Sorry to hear.


Was thinking is this the same person I bought my zxr400 off a few years back??

The Snuffles are there in thought....

Terrible to hear, hope she has a speedy and complete recovery.

Hate to hear of another biker in a crash. All the best to your sister and wishing her a speedy recovery.

Hey Eddie, real sorry to hear about Liz, good to hear she's stabilised somewhat. I work at Waikato Uni too, I don't know her personally but I've seen her riding about to/from campus (did she own a 400 kwaka before now) and a number of my collegues in the IT services division know her. We all wish her well. Please (Wolf too) pass on our thoughts, hopefully we'll see her back on two wheels one day

I just spoke with Liz's husband and learned that I got garbled information about the accident so ignore my previous post on what happened.

Going by what Liz told Roger, she was heading into town - bright red bike, bright red helmet and lights on - slowed as she approached the intersection and a car that was on Holland Road, heading the other way, turned in front of her to go down Marshmeadow, whereupon she smashed into the car's left hand side.

The driver should have been able to see her, as she was approaching on a dead straight road and brightly dressed on a bright-coloured bike with the lights on.

We hope Liz has a good & full recovery.
I wish for her the family & friends the strength to mentally cope with these terrible times .



Thanks for the update Wolf.
People are just in too much off a hurry to take the time to look properly or to wait for the safe gap in the traffic these days. all other road users life's are at risk!

I gather there were other people around as Roger mentioned witnesses to the fact that Liz was entirely blameless and being as safe as possible (must have noticed her reduction in speed approaching Marshmeadow) and that the car just turned in front of her.

sorry to hear that .. hope she makes a speedy recovery..

I'm sitting here rethinking whether or not to get my motorbike licence, as I hear of my friends taking falls or getting knocked off. It's making me very nervious of going for it let alone feeling secure with Wolf riding to and from work each day. ...

Do not fret, just go for it.

Many bikers have gone 20 30 40 years , unscathed.

He either fears his fate too much
Or, his deserts are small
That durst not put it to the touch
To win or lose at all

Just take care not to step on any earthworms.

omg.

I hope she heals fast and has plenty of drugs.

[crshbndct]

best wishes mate
hope she recovers well.

edit: its about time someone invents a titanium exoskeleto-suit for us to wear. (and i am not making a joke, im serious)

- bright red bike, bright red helmet and lights on - The driver should have been able to see her, as she was approaching on a bright-coloured bike with the lights on.

Funnly nuff, red is one of the harder colours to see mainly in poor light... either way I just cant comprahend how the prick in the car didnt see Liz.
So there for he must have turned delibratly as a lot of people do, so fuck the arsehole I'd make it my lifes ambition to make sure the prick/prickess is screwed over by the courts... but some how I cant see that happening, wee fine and sent on there way.

Drivers and pushing ther luck is fast becoming an epademic, Chch has the worst intersection related accecents by 10% over the rest of NZ and it honestly puts the shits up me these days.

Eddie & Wolf, guttered bout Liz SFA I can do about it tho, guess I can only keep an eye on her recovery, sounds like shes in a bad way poor lass... all the best guys.
