Hey all.

This thread is every thing to do with rideing in the illawarra, Were everyone gathers and large ride days/sessions are organised. Sooo get in there, start typeing and get invloved, all is welcome. [ PS if your located out of the illawarra, dont let that discourage you, for if you able to trek the distance or if you have a few mates that occasionally hit the highway down into the illawarra to carve it up... then "hey" your all more than welcome.

Any way.. get on your bike and get invloved.

Cheers Matt

Hey all.
Had a ride at keria today as stated, went well ( the ride itself) except it was like grease, kinda fun. However, my mate Zac ( mayo4u) got hit by a car riding down mt keria road at 60km/h. He is alright, hes in hospital, a bit of damage but fuk he is soo lucky, all the best for him and i hope he gets better soon.

Not to discourage people but if you ride with me you wont die...
Anyway

i think a few of us might be going to keria like on wed, thursday friday sat n sun HA.
But i will have to see, the only trouble is getting there and getting enough use from the tracks ( shuttles) my mates are pretty much in the same boat, however we would be happy to throw some petrol money in.

otherwise i will keep you's updated, also keep me updated.

Thank you
Kind Regards Matt

I wonder if it'll still be as slick as it was today. Probably better to ride a different track like the one at luorriht

P.s Hope mayo gets better soon.

Shit Mayo! Hope your alright mate. Did anyone see it happen? If so what happened? Did the driver loose concentration or did Mayo swerve on the road to get a good run into the first track? Anyway hope you get better soon mate.

Hey all

Its great that every one is so considerate and caring.

for every one that is asking about the crash, "what happening" " how had are his injurys" \ i will give every one an update.

We left the T intersection at the bottom of the lookout road and onto mt keria road to fly back down. Any way we gave way to a 4x4 towing a caravan, after that we headed down the road, due to the relativley large vechile ahead we caught it through the corners, anyway i was upfront and i ended up slowing right back down and ended up on the back of the caravan, mayo was behind me and he was carrying momentum so he decided to overtake the 4x4/caravan around the corner. Anyway he went for it, as soon as i saw this being attempted i yelled out "NO!" i quickly looked ahead and saw a car turning the corner, i yelled out again " STOP!", mayo looked up and locked the rear end up, causing the bike to severly fish tail every wear, when the bike was out on a fair angle it "sling shoted" (caught traction) and threw the bike in the other direction, at this point mayo left the bike and was thrown straight into the front of the car, shoulder first, the noise was scary on its own let alone the crash itself, mayos bike went between the guard rail and the car ( it was fine, not a single mark on it, the rear deralier is fair dead but thats it)and wilst that happened mayo was smashed of the car and into and over the guard rail. This all happened at like 60km/h.

It happened so fast, i dont remember getting of the bike i just found myself right next to him asking if he was alright, he was totally out of it ( obviously in shock) he couldnt talk. I took my jersey of and put it on top of him to keep him warm and supported his neck wilst keeping him imobile (still) for it was over the edge of a large hill (slope of the escarpnment) to prevent any further back or neck damage if there was any (which there wasent) lucky!

any way the lady that hit him was very distressed ( screaming), so i rang the ambulance and his mother and it all went from there, they came and did there thing and took him to wollongong hospital were they probed him jks ha- xrayed him etc and he should be home by tonight if all goes well.
HES A TUFF BLOKE.
Anyway all the best mayo, your very lucky i hope it all heals soon, so you can get back on your bike, dont let this discourage you.

Also this is a lesson to every one else, STICK TO THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE ROAD!

Any way
Kind Regards to all
:)
