My crashed bike

**Weta** · 30th September 2009, 11:42

Just managed to get my bike released from the Tow Yard after my altercation with a vehicle (thanks for coming out from behind a truck and doing a U turn in front of me on th eopen road).
Han't seen it as I was taken away semi conscious, but as I got away with bad bruising and massive concussion though it might be not too badly damaged.
Looks like I was wrong, dammit I loved that bike.
Would have preferred if I had binned it through pilot error or excess speed but to be cruising along a straight country road at 100km/h (more or less) and get wiped out by someone not paying attention reaaly sucks.
So guys take it easy out there.

0oop see it looks a little bit damaged.

Hope you're alright

Bum.It was flash before.

Some people are the ones you wanna run over! At least you are ok and no doubt the bike is repairable. You should get insurance from him for doing a u-ie

Nice colour too

ohhh,...that's awful to see. Looks like she was once quite a fine looking Gixxer.
Good to hear you're okay though. Bikes can be replaced, people can't.

mate glad you are ok after that one....

**vifferman** · 30th September 2009, 11:57

Oh, Mate!! That really sucks.

That was a nice looking bike, but now it's more like a piece of abstract art. Not good to see at all.
You're very lucky you didn't end up looking the same!

That blows goats! What a nice bike and for someone to wipe you out like that!

**NighthawkNZ:Me** · 30th September 2009, 12:01

bit of Autosol and it will buff right out

**Rodney007** · 30th September 2009, 12:03

good to hear your okay

F#$k!
Very saddening to see your pride & joy in that state, isn't it? That's a real bugger, mate. But, most importantly, you're in one piece and still standing.

**Kiwi Graham:Me** · 30th September 2009, 12:08

Bloody ek, thats one munter'd bike mate, glad your on the mend and I hope the blind prick that did the 'U' turn cops it too. (note pun

)

Exactly!

Surely it would have been kinder just to say it was knackered and return a cheque or a fixed bike.
