Hurrah! his sense of humour came back![]()
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Re the Jury accident - stock agent's Commodore was t-boned in the driver's side B pillar - fairly hard to avoid that when some fuckwit in a cage either u-turns or pulls outa an intersection without seeing the bike........why oh why is it never a bloody truck they 'don't see', instead of a bike!!!!
This accident makes me seriously consider chucking my bike on trade-me, especially given that my other half is also on the back of my bike 80% of my riding time. Some of these shit for brains pillocks that we share the roads with are beyond belief sometimes........
RIP Tony - if ever there was an award for just being 'a good bastard', you'd have a shed full of them. Family, friends & clients will definitely miss you.
Blame the government for not requiring better driving standards. An idiot should never pass a driving test but plenty do and then innocent people die.
Use the road at your own peril.
Ahhh yes, but current breeding program being used would ensure we just get a 'better' idiot.........![]()
TOP QUOTE: “The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.”
Just been chatting to the Print Manager at work. His beloved Ducati was totalled that same weekend. He was lucky to walk away with very bad bruising. He was coming into Whangamata and some bitch in a volvo did a right hand turn across the road in front of him and he had nowhere to go. Dunno if he was one of the cases mentioned in that link cos it won't open for me at the mo... (cos its old news?)
He is gutted but got some satisfaction from the fact that her car was munted enough that it had to be towed from the scene.
The police have charged her on 2 counts.
...it is better to live 1 day as a Tiger than 1000 years as a sheep...
And yet again... speed not a factor in the crash.... RIP Tony.
Motorcyclist tried to miss car

Pahiatua businessman and motorcyclist Anthony Jury died while attempting to avoid a car that was doing a U-turn in front of him, a coroner has found.Mr Jury, 47, the owner of Tony Jury Motorcycles, was killed when his Suzuki Bandit motorcycle and a Holden Commodore collided on Makomako Rd, near Mangahao, on November 30 last year.
Mr Jury's wife, who was riding pillion, was injured in the crash. The driver of the Holden, Richard Fraser, was not hurt.
Hastings coroner Chris Devonport said Mr Jury was travelling south when he rounded the left-bend where Mr Fraser was pulling a U-turn, using a farm accessway.
"Mr Jury applied the motorcycle's brakes, with the rear wheel of the motorcycle locking and the motorcycle impacting with the Holden motor vehicle in the south-bound lane," Mr Devonport said.
Mr Jury died at the scene from multiple injuries to his aorta, chest, pelvis and left leg.
Crash investigator Senior Constable Les Maddaford said the road was dry but long grass and trees may have restricted Mr Jury's view.
No faults were found in either vehicle and speed was unlikely to have been a factor, Mr Maddaford said.
Wisdom comes with age.... But sometimes age comes alone!
I'm gonna stage a protest !!!!
No one should die ! Especially me !
Bit like ACC levies rises on our rego though aye ! It was inevitable !
Hope when it happens, it's as quick !
A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"
Bowls can wait !
