yea it rides as true as prior to the accident here is a couple of pics id be pretty safe saying if it wasnt a old shitter but a newer fully faired sprotsbike it would have ben a write off as the car punched it on the left side and it slid for a while on the right side and for all you people out there that dont use a l plate when you should the cops were pretty quick to check the wof,rego and his licence to see what $$$$ could be extracted

Good to hear he's getting better could've been a lot worse. Not a nice call to get, got mine when my daughter worked out the hard way you can't TEXT and drive at the same time.

Yes, the old NZ250's are built well. (Have some experience here...)

I have also long ago learnt that even if a minor accident, and you are not at fault, get the cops involved!! The: "Sorry re that, just contact me and I sort you out" is a total waste of time.

And even if she is only a $1,5K bike she is still a decent one, so no need to ride around with bits missing because some egg cant watch where he goes!!
