Kiwibiker on TV1 SCU?

No side stand hangs low enough to bounce with the bike is upright.

How do you corner upright?

There are a few of us that obviously know who the rider involved in this accident is. Last night we saw a TV program that detailed the SCU investigation into this.

For me, I am glad this rider was not killed. I know her, but have had no contact with her for years, apart from when we both attended a final good bye to a friend who died recently while riding her bike. Life is short people.

Can we not just simply accept the SCU's findings and move on? I am certain the rider, and her partner have been trying to do just that since the accident happened.

It is obvious mistakes were made. What the fuck can be achieved with this stupid thread other than dragging up shit the people involved need to say goodbye to. I am quite certain that this TV program will have been weighing heavily on them.

It has screened.

It is done.

Move on people, this is a non topic.

How do you corner upright?

ONCE (thank fuck) on the FJ ... between Outram and Middlemarch ... (Google Maps if you do not know where area this is) there is a series of very large hills (and very prone to strong gusting wind) ... and on one occasion ... some corners required leaning to the RIGHT on a left hand corner.

Your question indicate your definite lack of REAL experience ... I wonder how you cope ... ???

I think the car driver milked it a bit towards the end

I'd like to see how you react to being seriously injured & hospitalised by the actions of another road user. I don't think she was milking it at all and I also don't think she's the one who should be seriously looking at their ability to operate a motor vehicle safely.

I wonder if the rider was at the time trying to keep up with her "highly experienced" partner and riding beyond her abilities.

....Outram and Middlemarch ... ....

they sound like some freaky gay sex moves you've got going on.

... I wonder how you cope ... ???

I think it has been established the rider made a mistake. She paid a huge price for it. There by the Grace of God go I.

Re the whole sidestand thing.
Racing at Nelson street races one year I ended up in the all in race at end of day.
next to me was a tard complete with sidestand still fitted and rubber bands holding stand up.
Sure enough rubber bands came off early on and the guy did the whole race with side stand banging up n down on the road.
I like many here thought its gonna go right down and he's gonna spear into the crowd.
Never did but it made dan sure one rider was too scared to pass him

Freaky (at the time) yes ... ... but if I got it wrong ... I definitely would have been fucked ...

Alcohol.

The key to understanding your posts then ...

So did Victoria the car driver. The episode was quite a powerful reminder that despite often feeling that it's only our own life we risk when we ride, that's actually far from the truth.
