thats all BS! the ONLY reason why so many crash up there... is because there are f*&^ing hundreds of riders up there! god they shit me!
YES! thats right - because there are HEAPS of riders up there, 82 out of say 700 odd is nothing. of those 82 I bet only half were due to speed, the rest split up between NEW riders going harder then they should & not being able to take a corner OR the ROAD it self!
Hell the mob that "fix" reefton road caused fuggin 20 crashs due to the way they seal the road, put some tar with the melting temp of choccy & they lets see.... throw some rocks on there & she'll be right... oh and some finer stuff for in between the rocks... great one f***heads!
If they actually spent the time & money to fix the road correctly & saw that new riders sometimes need help up there & counted the actual number of riders... 82 crashs will seem f*&^ing good compared to what it could be... IF we were all doing over 180kph.
***EDIT: OK :) I am done venting - but this is the type of crap that makes it worse for us in the long run.
