My least favourite stretch of road in the Wairarapa..

Is it possibl to petition/request LTNZ (?) or whomever is responsible to get corners widened or paint markings put down?

Or am i just being soft?

Nah, got an xray done and everything is where it should be.

Soft!

Its a great piece of road, teaches one to expect the unexpected.

My wife even agrees with me - for once.

I was going to say that looking at those photos hurt me more than it hurt you. Perhaps not.

Good news that there is no serious damage.

A lot of us have had recent bins. Mine was nothing compared with yours. Hope it's not too long before you are back on that horse!

Not good to see. Hope you get better soon Andrey...and your insurance company dont decide your next premium is the same value as a CBR

**The Pastor** · 15th April 2009, 10:58

you went to hospital for that????? you wuss. i did worse damage and i didnt get it looked at till i had walked back home, got the trailer (although i did get help with driving - too much blood) loaded the bike back on, got the bike back home, and fixed the bike before i put a plaster on my knee and elbow.

you softie

There were no cars around to drive me home. But after sitting for 4 hours in hospital waiting room I was considering just going home.

I know how you feel 3 and a half hours for me only to have a doctor squeeze my foot for a min asking where it hurt and then tell me I was fine and could go home. Did they at least give you something for the pain/boredom while you waited?

Dude!....... Done the same thing, only to a slightly less extent, about a month ago. Knees all good now but man it sucked. hope your back on 2 wheels sooner rather than later.
