Does anyone know how the (fallen) Rocket 3 and ST1100 Riders are?

Just a quick update on Alan Jamieson on (or off) the ST1100.
He returned home on monday with the bike on a trailer which I unloaded at my home to take to the local Hondah dealer which I did tuesday morning.
His shoulder & side was quite sore with his left arm in a sling.
Last night he was admitted to New Plymouth base hospital for surgery today on a collapsed lung and a shoulder rebuild. He's just rung & sounds a bit groggy still, but I'll deliver some bike mags to him tomorrow to make his stay bearable. He expects to be out by the weekend.

Hiwould you please pass on my best wishes to Alan?! I made him some earplugs the other day and it turned out we knew each other from my upbringing days in Stratford. Hope he gets well soon, regards Sue (Plugz 4 Lugz)

There were a few riders wanting earplugs and/or wired earplugs and I had discussed being at the Tauranga gunclub on Saturday 27th October. Originally we were going to be there both days but I may end up going to Frosty's track day on the 28th for a few hours. Just letting you know we'll be at the gunclub from about nine until 3pm on the Saturday only. Cheers Sue 027 659 1583

Alan had the lung drain taken out this morning & after another xray to make sure all is OK he was sent home at 5pm.

About $8k damage to bike to be back on road.

haha, hey that was me and a mate, we managed to leave kaitaia and in our tiredness saw a sign that said whangarei, we then took that road in the rain and then saw a few bikes heading in the other direction, thinking we were on the wrong road???? we had arrived in kaitaia in the dry and the road seemed completly different. when we got out our map we were half way along number 1 and we should have been on number 10. we laughed it was such an honest mistake. we thought there may have been an accident or a bridge washed out and all the bike were heading back to kaitaia. what an adventure of a ride. we did really enjoy ourselves.

I was speaking to John this morning on the telephone and he is home an recovering with some quite bad bruising and a cracked rib. His helmet took a severe whack and he is still getting a few headaches but is ok. He has no recollection of what he did or did not do that caused the crash.
He maintains his gear was worth every penny he spent on it - and who can argue with that.
The bike is not to badly damaged and should be repaired in the short term.
He thanks those people who stopped to assist and is glad you all got home ok.

If you say either "I can" or "I can't" your correct.

John rode the Rocket?
Glad to hear he is OK, his helmet was well rooted which speaks well of good kit. Cant quite work out what his head connected but maybe one of the fence posts?
Unwinding the bike from the electric fence was a slightly shocking experience
Look forward to next years event (just nicer weather please)

That Rocket certainly left a spectacular pre-impact skidmark. And a very dead magpie. Presumably the effect and cause.
