    Years ago near Dunedin a guy died after falling from his bike in a parking lot.

    Never even moved off- just lost his balance while sitting on the bike and smacked his head on the ground.

    Nothing to do with speed I'd suggest. More to do with how his head hit the ground or whatever it hit. Still ... if he'd been wearing a helmet he'd only be embarrased instead of dead.

    True true. Its still worthy of the Darwin award though. He would be the poster child for getting insurance before you leave the dealership.

    Years ago, my cousin died disembarking from his yacht. Tripped over, clonked his head on the wharf.

    WTF?? How can he kill himself on a HARLEY? Thats the first Harley fatal accident I've ever heard!


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Head injuries can kill or if unlucky just make one a cabbage for the rest of your life with someone else to feed you and wipe your ass.

    That is just awful.

    I take it there was no legal requirement to wear a helmet in that State.

    He wasn't out on the road yet - just riding it from one side of the dealer's yard to the other. Who knows if he was intending to go out on the road? Poor guy.
    There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing!
