    Sorry to hear about the off dude. Hope you fix up soon.
    To every man upon this earth
    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

    The big long downhill lefthander before you head to the Tuakau bridge? That's the one most likely to catch someone out.

    I hope both you and the bike mend quickly with no problems.All that way,all the potential places to bin it...but atleast it was close to help.

    Thumbs up

    Very prosaic! I'm amazed you can recall as much as you did in such clarity - and glad to hear you're mobile and at least able to regale us all with your experience - glad to hear about all the help you got and the support from fellow Kbers!

    Keep well, heal up fast and fix your ride ready for your next big adventure!

    If you hit your head that hard, and probably got concussed, then your helmet must had taken a big hit. Replace it.

    She's always in that state. Hence her handle on KB.

    I rung her earlier, she's very chirpy. You wouldn't know she'd had an accident at all.

    Mate! Was thinking this morning that I hadnt heard about/from you for a while, but didnt expect Id be reading this. Sounds scary but glad to hear you came out of it not too badly off.

    Well done to the 'Kato crew. Zeb, MT et al. As F/F says this is what KB is about...not fucking rep points, abuse, and sin binning. *These* are the guys that make KB what it is.

    Ive had too much sugar

    So right Skelstar. No extra memories yet and the helmet will never go on another ride, but it makes a great trophy. Will also get new boots and cordura trousers. The jacket is probably OK but I've been wanting a leather one anyway. Would like some armour in my gloves and in the knees of my leathers and a back protector as well. Can't hurt to be over prepared.

    Glad to hear your all in one piece and not too banged up.
    Lucky that you binned in a more populated spot where help was at hand (hats off to those who helped).
    Anyhoo....glad your ok. Rest up and relax.
    I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy
