Lucky bastard only suffered a few minor cuts and bruises and a decent gash to his left leg.

It looked like a smooth uneventful pass,  :burnout:  and then he just turned right.  :dunno:  I wonder what happened?  Has anyone said the cause? ....................Oldschool

I saw that on the news and I immediately thought, "Hmmmm....I wonder if NZ knows anything about this?"

Wow! :o

I bet there's big pucker marks on that seat! :icon16:


I'm glad he was ok, though.
