ZX-14 down near Adaminaby

While riding between Berridale and Adaminaby last Sunday, we came across a rider who had crashed his blue ZX-14. He was fairly banged up and his bike was totalled.

Anyhow, I was just wondering if anyone here knows him, and how he's doing.

I've heard of this from other sources.

Apparently, it wasn't his bike, so, however he was feeling in the immediate aftermath of the crash, chances are he'll be feeling a lot worse when the bike's owner catches up with him.

Hope he was OK - quite possibly the first 14 to hit the tarmac at speed ......

I struggled to keep up with a "DingoCrim & a couple 12's" on that exact road in March so I hope he's OK, Nice open sweepers so I doubt there would be much left of it.

That looks bad.

was this the incident...ouch

this is from a site in oz, this is the blog from the pic

'Between Berridale and Adaminaby we rounded a bend to find a biker down. The rider was lying on the side of the road in a world of pain but not seriously injured. It seems that a slight crest followed by a gentle bend caught him unawares and he grabbed a handful of brake at s p e e d. There was a long black tyre mark followed by a longer scrape mark. Both of his gloves had been pulled off as he slid down the road and he'd lost a lot of skin on his hands as a result. His draggin jeans were showing exposed kevlar but no exposed skin - they work !! Luck was on his side as there was a natural clear run-off on the outside of the bend, no trees or rocks etc. His ZX-14 wasn't so lucky though... '
