Wrecked my bike today

[NighthawkNZ:Me]

hi guys home safe & sound Mrs Shrek picked me up at Picton 0030 this morning home in bed at 0500 for a bit of TLC

the third thing for me was getting ready to leave Gizzy in yesterday morning & gettin a from the hospital to find my other daughter had rolled her sisters car :slap: hey but like her old man a bit banged up but will be home in a couple of days

Good to hear you okay and safe & sound at home... rest up a bit... then get some autosol, some elbow grease and polish the scratches out will be good as new

Not good about your daughter though... hope all is okay there (must run in the family huh... )

sorrry about your bike man, i know how you feel, mine was written off last week, after a crash on motorway. Although it was low speed, and no damage was done to me, more than superficial marks were done to the bike because a van drove over it

I haven't read the whole thread, but hopefully you either get the bike fixed soon, or insurance comes through quickly and you get a replacement!

Ah bummer big man, that really sucks - just glad YOU are mainly OK

PS: The Richter scale needle went off the clock at the time of the crash - musta beena big impact!!

Funny you should say that. I was just reading an article in the "Gisborne Herald" and I quote,
"A 6.7 magnitude earthquake struck the remote Kermadec Islands north of NZ on Sunday. The quake hit 80km south of Raoul Island. It was registered at a shallow depth of 10km. No tsunami warning was immediately issued"

Must have been the aftershock....

So good to see you made it back all in one piece mate. Just read your post now, saw the pictures and thought "shit this is not good, he's stuck on the north island..."

Looking at the pictures I doubt it'll all just pop back into place if you push it a bit harder like with the headlight. Bugger...

Good thing your daugther didn't get hurt too badly as well!

One chain two sprockets and a Pro_oiler beats a drive shaft any day, (economically) do the math, especially where it's up against a BMW set up! John.

repeat every 30,000km...
one crown, one pinion, one shaft and 200ml oil... sorted for a life time, quite, smooth and messless

30,000km is a lifetime?

I have done in excess of 40,000km in less than two years without even trying!

Just replaced one chain set (under $400:00) and part of that was to change the gearing. John.
