Not a good day up Rimutaka Hill

Ferk, it is who I thought it was.

NC, tell him hi and get well soon from me.

If he needs someone to get a group together to watch him cry into a perfectly good beer, you know how we all like to to take the piss.... err provide support for a fallen comrade.

We parked up and Dad ran over to him. He was standing and he was in one piece but he was a bit disorientated. He tried to start the bike in the middle of the road still behind the blind corner, open for a flying 4x4 attack. Dad helped him over to the parking bay and the flooded bike eventually started. He rode of back toward Upper Hutt with the muffler smoking, fairings and engine case scratched and rear fender crooked.

Shit I hate these threads.....

I just rang Crazy Little Shit (titanium 636) - he is at the hospital now waiting to hear when they can operate on his broken thumb. He apparently snapped it quite cleanly and it needs a pin in it.

Nick said to say thanks heaps to Alarumba etc - he was quite disorientated at the time and really appreciated that you got him off the road out of harms way.

He said the bike isn't too bad, leathers are ok but he face planted the road so his helmet is rooted, but saved his life.

Just had a chat and he's definitely in contact with his sense of humour.
