    Bad Bike Accident :((((((

    Erik and I were heading down Scenic Drive in Titirangi and saw a horrific sight. A red sports bike lying on it's side against the mountain side...... horrible in the gutter......

    There was a fire engine and all the usual coppers ......anyone have more news?

    Couldn't see the rider or any others...... but there was no ambulance so perhaps no one was hurt.....

    Times like these make me appreciate the Rescue Helicopter....... bonafide heroes those guys

    We went through there at about 6:15pm. I think there were two firetrucks and a cop car, they stopped the traffic for a while and wouldn't let us past, I'm not sure why. I didn't realise it was a bike until after we had started moving past again, otherwise I would have tried asking what had happened.
    It was hard to tell what happened just from what I saw. It was on a corner a few corners up the road (ie, towards Piha) from the Arataki Information Centre. Going back towards titirangi, the road dips down into a left hand corner, and then continues uphill in a long right hand corner. The bike was on the right side of the road in the ditch/side of the bank. It was facing the wrong way for the side it was on and looked like it was fairly well wedged into the ditch/weeds.
    I couldn't see what type of bike it was.
    There was a car on the side of the road and there was a guy and a chick on the side of the road by the bike, iirc the guy might've been comforting her or something.
    I didn't see anyone in bike gear or notice any bike gear on the ground. It could be the biker had already been taken away in an ambulance.

    Hopefully whoever it was wasn't hurt too badly.

    It was a fairly sobering end to a good day of riding.

    Yup....... the Helicopter boys would have been called had he fallen the other way. There was a bit of a bush to stop things......but not a lot

    Well, I thought it might've been a vtr1000 or something similar, but I didn't see it well so could be completely wrong.
