Helping out our fallen brother SKELSTAR.

[Grahameeboy]

Details were well sorted out hun before this thread went up. Cheers

Got your bling...we are airing valid points and agree you probably know all the facts in the absence of which there will be some of us who will raise things.

If bike is insured that is covered
ACC - well 80% is better than nought. The missing 20% may well be what he saves in some expenses that he may incur if he was up and running.

If you want people to help then you have to think about explaining the facts...not saying you are doing anything dodgy...but we should be satisfied with the rational of your judgement...

Speaking of ACC I have heard from somebody that sometimes ACC will pay out on damaged safety gear in the event of an accident. Worth a shot with an ACC lawyer? Jst remeber it is saftey gear not riding gear. should be able to get a helmet (hard hat) at least out of it...

Fair enough, I would like to point out that we are completely new to this sort of thing though. We weren't sure how to go about this at all. We decided how we want to help, and off it went.

It's not a "how can we help Sean" thread, it's "this is how we're helpin him, who's with us".

Understood Sir...

Here's the deal folks,

Sean is a top bloke with a group of really tight mate's. He's had a stroke of rotten luck that he nearly paid the ultimate price for..... This thread has been started to help a good Kiwi Biker with a heart of gold and a sharp witty mind. To the folk's asking the questions about the integrity of this thread stop and ask yourselves would Drew & Flame be organising the repairs if the insurance genie was about to apear from a magic lamp???

As Drew has said he will post a list of parts required for repair next week after racing at manfeild this weekend. After a visit to ICU on Thursday I can assure you Sean won't be requiring a 1000cc V twin for quite a few months......

I love the idea of sponsoring a part and will be putting my hand into my pocket in the hope of one day seeing Sean ridding his "Matte Milly" again, and all the joy it bring's him.

[Drew]

"Matte Milly"

"Matte Mille" you jappa rider. Bwahahahahahahaha, cheers mate.

[FROSTY:Me]

ok so drew--howsabout a parts list so we can start sponsering em

[McDuck]

I bags the rev counter.

[Tony & Carolyn]

"Matte Mille" you jappa rider. Bwahahahahahahaha, cheers mate.

It could have been worse...... I may have refered to her as a "Massey Fergusson" as I did after riding her a while back!!!

Not the point and as many have tried to respectfully say - happy to help in any way we can, but would be good to have it confirmed that everything had been thought of. The fact that you are assuming the questions are about 'integrity' show that you haven't understood what was being asked.

And now I for one now have a better understand where you are coming from - thanks

[Drew]

Oh yeah, to those who've got the account details from me, could you pm me when and what you put in please, so I can keep track. I think I said it earlier but will say again, all those who donate can get a copy of all my statements from the date this thread started, however embarracing that might be for me

[Drew]

Ok, I've just had a conversation and the gist is this...

For those who would like to contribute but would rather remain anonymous, I am putting the account details on here. I would much rather be able to thank everyone personally, but there are those that dont want it.

I would ask you to label payments Skels fund, so that it is recorded and we can keep a running total. All reciepts will be kept for parts and any labour we cant find free.

Those who I can thank, please still pm me amount and date of deposit.

Thanks loads to all contributors

Here's the deal folks,

Sean is not a beat around the bush person, so to really answer the folowing questions

If bike is insured that is covered

So Sean has no insurance on his bike then?

It is unlikely that someone like Skel would not have had insurance on his bike

If so isn't it better to have the insurance guys fix the bike

Please please please, check out the insurance issue before touching anything on the bike.

Sean's (Skelstar) bike is not insured

It's not a "how can we help Sean" thread, it's "this is how we're helpin him, who's with us".

Massive respect for what you and Flame are doing here Drew. I can't offer much beyond words on this site. But let me know if you are having a bike fixing session and I will come round to help where I can.

I suppose the one thing that hasn't been mentioned here, is also the other vehicle involved.

Please realise that until the facts of what happened come to light, there maybe another priority that we need to help out with, before the bike.

So everyone, if you are in a position to help out - pretty pretty please, with sugar coated candy on top!

Thanks for that, I'm hoping the other vehical is insured, to give Sean some time to get better before the damage has to be fixed on the car.

I'll get hold of Mel and Merv tomorrow and find out if they would like me get hold of the other party and suss it out.
