Hope he is ok once he's allowed to wake up. Sad to see a bike professional injured at work. Thanks for the pics.

Cheers.

as for this guy - it looks like a nasty crash - I sorta feel for the guy, barely

Please take your attitude somewhere else, i barely can refrain from losing all respect for you.

He is sedated and stable but by no means out of the woods just yet.

Very fortunate there were no lamp posts or fences to hit where he came off.

BC.

Those are nasty injuries, my best wishes to this man for a full, quick and uncomplicated recovery. My thoughts and best wishes are with him and his family and friends.

Thanks for the update BC!

I wish the person a good and speedy recovery.

On another note, although a lot of grief is directed at officers here (and elsewhere) it's really good to see that when something like this happens, people are genuinely concerned for the rider.

I'm thinking the crash... but I'm prepared to stand corrected...

KBs a funny place

.
One general bike thread has people requesting free police knowledge, and on this one some people are slagging the buggars.

Gotta love this place.
All the best for coppa down.

I see that two of my posts have vanished. Anyone care to tell me why.

I work about 1km from Auckland Central Hospital and if the guy needs anything picked up etc PM me.
