Crash data collected by police shows that 37% of injury claims from motorcyclists arise from single vehicle accidents. voice-verified

It's the rider's actions that caused the crash. voice-verified

And that's what happened to Tikawiri rider Bev McIndoe when she came off her bike near Gisborne in 2008. voice-verified

And then the remarkable surgery, incredible surgery, which saved your life. voice-verified

And what is that called? voice-verified

Is it hemicorporectomy? voice-verified

That's it. voice-verified

What exactly is that, Bev? voice-verified

If you hadn't had that operation, what would have happened to you? voice-verified

And when it comes to motorcycles, what is your view on them now? voice-verified

So what do you make of this new levy? voice-verified
