  I'm quessing the camera was attached to the riders helmet. If so, he faces forward all the way through it, so he must be on his butt or feet?
  I wonder what speed that happened at and what gear he was wearing. That bike sure does fly ;D

Hey Dave,
I'm guessing he was running around 60mph, sure chewed up his bike.
He's a real biker though, just a little grunt when he jumped up to go check
on his bike.  ;D ;D ;D ;D And like you said, he kept his eye on the bike the whole time. Tough dude!

He probably hit a Hobbit. Lots of Hobbits in New Zealand.  ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

He is either very controlled, or was in shock, otherwise how did he avoid emitting a string of expletives? :-\

Yes, he is a Kiwi. We're bred tough down here. When we drop our bikes we just grunt and get back up and get on with it (if we can). We don't blame hobbits. We ride on the left hand side of the road too, all the time, that's how tough we are!
