Fatal motorcycle accident in Kumeu - I'm ok

[Johnnyb]

I was just googling for news of the crash and came across this thread.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU to you all for your kind thoughts - It was my brother that died in the Kumeu crash.

My partner and all his friends ride, so it's been a bit of a wake up for everyone around here.

Anyway, thanks again, i was reading through the comments and it brought tears to my eyes.

Ride safe guys

and for us too. It's going to be a summer of slowin' down for me, and enjoying being able to walk.

Best,

Ned, I am f***ing stoked it's not you my friend, but it doesn't make the news any less horrible really.

I see this has turned from an "I'm OK" thread from Nigel into a generic RIP thread... presumably that's why my comments in response to this post keep getting moved.

No amount of moving my posts will invalidate the points I've made, however.



And my condolences, of course, to the family and friends of the rider who crashed in Kumeu.
