I binned my bike too

Bit of trivia from the Trailer Hire guy. Apparently that very trailer gets hired by one of the Tamaki Brothers for towing his HD around. (Obviously when he's going somewhere with more stuff than he can fit on the back of the bike - I am not suggesting for a moment that HDs need to be towed coz of reliability issues...FFS I ride a Ducati so I can't really talk).

So you can say your bike has been towed by the same trailer as a Tamaki Harley.

I know RRRS can correct technique...

...but can it REALLY cure stupid?

Man, when me and others (2nd group) reached the crash site, I was like "F**k man... F**k.... This is a dream... its a bloody nightmare! F*CK!"

No... but murphy and his law is there to collect those... they would just be erased from the human gene pool.

Else they need to see some real photos of people getting splatted on the road, then they might come to their senses.

Right, need to flick you a few dollars so you aint out of pocket over this McJim. Thanks for the help, I know how much this sort of thing affects you and it seems its getting to Donor as well.

Would have ridden with you to Three Kings, but needed to demob the group back at BP Takanini as per SOP.

Sucks to hear about your crash dude. Hell im still on my 250 and I've been round the coro loop twice and never crashed, i keep up with other riders, one in fact was riding a 900 hornet.

I don't think Im a perfect rider, and i know ive reached my limits (or my cruisers height limit) but I've never crashed. I'm not gonna pick on you, but i think spending time on a 250 or less is a wise choice, definetly not the most exciting one, but it sure has taught me a thing or two about taking corners and overtaking etc...
Any who, good luck with your recovery and paying for your bike to get fixed with no insurance.

Maybe someday i'll do a coro loop with you, and let you try keep up with me

hahaha

Hmm, unlucky place to crash, glad you came out alright.

On the plus side: fighter time.

**westie** · 12th August 2007, 09:20

Breakaway - take the constructive? criticism and learn from it of course.

Man to think if that happened on your own and you ended up down on the rocks concussed with the tide coming in........scary.

I like the fighter idea.
