L8RGYZ is an unknown quantity at this point

Hate crashing. Glad you're ok, man.

So the cops didn't cite you for anything?

Last yar I was on a ride on the Oxley Highway here in Oz (think Dragons Tail but about 5 times longer, best road in Australia), and a young girl on a ZZR250 Kawasaki laid it down. She was alright and a few decent scratches on the bike but she couldn't work out why some people seemed relieved. When we explained to her that now she has had her crash, it's over and done with, she felt a lot better (but was still a bit shook up)
