For whom the bell tolls
Apparently he was doing a 'cracking pace' - sounds like any CBR250RR with an open pipe on it.
To be honest the behaviour of both pedestrians and vehicles around the university precinct is disgusting. I'm surprised more people aren't more accidents and people being run over.

It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

A slide of 10 metres is usual for a 50-60kph crash, thats 250's though everybody thinks you are doing a million mile an hour with a loud pipe...when you arn't.

10 metres is longer than you might think Mark. But then you believe it is possible to stop from 60kmh in 2m.

I know how far 10 metres is and ive skittled that far at 50kph...... if ya slide on ya back and arnt rolling you can slide pretty damn far..... if airbourne over the car (given the pelvic injurys etc he mustve been) you can superman it pretty damn far.

Oh my god, I saw him leave at that time! White bike right? He wasn't wearing a helmet so I thought he was taking it round from the stand to the parking lot. May have been a different guy though, I was by the science building and maidment theatreOh fuck, that's whathisname from the signup stand. And that CBR had just been repaired too!
The guy with too many names
nah, that was jafa with the white vfr400 at the stand, this was another guy who had a cbr250 and had recently signed up, we chatted to him a bit at the stand

Don't think I've ever even been 50kph through that intersection in any direction, way too dodgy with all the right turners and pedestrians.

Oh and stink I guess that's one less person who's newly signed up to come to the chiller haha!
I am a killer blue mantee
hmm hope he gets better soon, was it a dark skinned dude? Do you guys remember ehabs friend with the white cbr250rr, the one who took off down the road at kaiaua without a helmet? Thought it could be him....he rides a like idiot.
