Hanging my leather up

As one who has always had a bike to ride for over 30 years I can understand your pain. It shouldn't be so - wasn't there something else you could give up first - borrow some money from a rellie, rob a bank or something?

minis the motor of course!

But thats ok, cause as we all know, bikes don't need a motor to take up space in your garage KK!

thanx, guys.

Details of the accident:
Location: SH22 (around Waingaro)
How: Bike went off the road, decided to throw me off its back.

But I can tell you, looking at your bike disintegrating into bits while upside down in the air is quite a funny feeling and totally worth it (in this incident). I'd really like to experience it again if not because of the financial (and physical) consequences that would occur from it.

Anyway, picture of the accident spot and bike (is it wise to post my bike picture?) will come (hopefully) next week.

Lucky my digicam and radar detector weren't damaged (they're in my backpack).

Oh, as much to dissapointment of the audience, I am announcing that the rider went away unscatched.

Still better a cople of grand than a couple of spinal disks
