On the 23 October I wrote it off :(
I was riding through Ngongotaha (Rotorua) towards Hamurana, quite happy cause I just picked up my gum and patches to give up smoking! :jerry:
I was behind two cars which turned into side streets(the street with 4square on it and the street between the two corner bakerys). I looked down at the speedo(as you do....well should anyway) I was going about 45/50ks which is the speed limit, I look up and with in half a second I was on the ground screaming, trying to breath.
A man in a toyota surf didnt see me and went to do a Uturn. (fucking dorklanders!!!! SERIOUSLY!!) I hit just infront of his front tyre, took his headlight off.
So here I am in fetal possion in the middle of the ground winded. next thing I know theres like 10 people around me trying to talk to me and touching so I tell them to all FUCK OFF! dont fucking touch me, fuck off you cunts etc etc etc. obviously i wasnt broken i was breaking and moving around, yeah? :2guns: Then i saw how broken my bike was. I've never screamed so loud in my life, and continued to not cooperate.
half of the people backed off blah blah blah the ambulance came (something i was very pissed off about) and the cheeky cop took my key and didnt tell me(why the hell cant they do their jobs properly!!!).
No broken bones according to the doctor. sprained wrist(which i actually need xrayed again), thumb, pulled limgiments in my knee.the physio therapist half fixed that tho :D so I can walk again.but everthing is STILL sore.
My poor wee bike:crybaby:
The good news is....insurance. I now have a new bike(even tho im still really sad about minton)

So, what's a Minton? Was it moar betterer or far worserer than your new bike? (Congrats on that, by the way, and sorry about your woes. Try to pay more attention to what's in front of you next time. :Pokey: )

Ah yes...CBR150r. Rare in nz which makes it more of a piss off.
And I had no controll over the situation. it was his fault 100% so dont tell me to pay more attention.

Priorities.
There are some times when looking at your instruments isn't as important as other things going on in the world, in your near vicinity. Espeically near intersections, shops, other traffic...
Never mind - after a while you'll get a feel for how fast you're going and won't need to check as frequently.
People in Rotorua are more random in some ways than elsewhere - they meander along in the centre of the road, and occasionally dart off in unexpected directions.
Kinda like elsewhere. Apart from the meandering...
I had no controll over the situation. it was his fault 100%
Regardless of whose fault it legally was, your safety is primarily your responsibility. I'm fairly sure there's something you can take away from this incident, apart from some aches'n'pains, and New! Improved! Now with extra R's and Zeros!! bike. If not, quit while you're ahead.
Oh Dog... I'm starting to sound like someone else.... :o

That's really unlucky, and it's good to see you've managed to walk away with your most serious injury being a bit of anger to the person who wrote your old bike off.
I owned a CBR250RR for a while. It was an awesome bike and I still have fond memories of it. They are very snappy, nice and light, and a great ride. You'll have a lot of fun on it.
So on the plus side, you had a lucky escape, and have ended up with a great new bike!

So do you not give a shit about your bike then? Some people here care a lot about their bikes, its more than metal to them. They have flaws, and they have good points, and despite all being similar they are unique. Not too dissimilar to say a pet... I'd be pissed if my bike was destroyed and its only a GN!

Now THAT'S embarrassing...
As has been said - priorities!
If you're as perfect as you would have us believe, then you would have been at or below 50km/h as a matter of course anyway, and wouldn't have needed to look at your speedo.

vifferman's point is that until the dude in the car actually hit you, you were not aware that that vehicle was there, or that it was likely to u-turn into you, and that that indicates a lack of situational awareness. Something to work on.
And he's right, too.
So start scanning ahead for cars to your left that might not be aware of your presence and might be planning a u-turn, and don't be so precious when you post "he hit me waa it wasn't my fault" and someone suggests that maybe you're not perfect.

My point wasn't that you were in the wrong so much as you seem unwilling to learn anything from it. That in itself is wrong. As jrandom said, you could learn some situational awareness skills. It's actually quite suprising how much you can tell about what poeple are about to do even if they don't use their indicators. You can also make allowances for what they might do, so you're not caught unawares.
Even though I don't know you, and you seem like someone I'd really rather not know, I would feel awful if I said nothing and a few months down the line found out you'd made a mistake and become another statistic.
If nothing else, you could do with learning some manners.

Why would you be looking at the end of the road when a ute is up on your left and could turn in front of you?
Love it how you're so quick to red rep :lol:
As many many people have said, you'd better work on your surrounding awareness before you start thinking shit happens that you have no control over.
Yes U-turns have been pulled in front of me, yes people have pulled in front of me, yes people have swerved into my lane, yes I have hit unexpected gravel/whatever... No I haven't let them hit me, as on approaching them I slowed down, fingers at the ready on the brake, double-checking my escape routes, NOT looking at the road ahead and ignoring them.
Have a think about that before getting all emotional and red rep everyone who doesn't agree with ya.
I'm not saying the ute isn't 100% at fault for the actual crash in legal terms, of course they are, but it doesn't mean it was unavoidable from your point of view... It's not good enough to react to an action, you have to predict what you may have to react to.

How can you show what happened if we came to rotorua? Draw a picture if you'd like. But your explanation seems pretty straight forward...
There was a ute up on your left, you checked your speedo, then you looked at the end of the road, then you were on the ground.

The thing is you shouldn't be looking to stop. When people panic in cars and on bikes and just grab a fistful it doesn't prevent accidents in many situations and can often make them worse.
Like when a car pulls out in front of a bike, sees the bike, and stops, so the bike hits the car. When they should really put their foot down and get the hell outta there!
A car pulling out in front/u-turn I wouldn't be looking to stop whatsoever. Personally I'd look to brake pretty hard to slow down to gimme some time while I'm picking my escape route, then use the bikes agility and size to get around the obstacle.

Depends on the circumstances. In CC's case, she's right in that she said we weren't there and don't know. Sometimes (as in my case) all that's required to avoid a u-turn crash is to toot the horn. Sometimes the only thing that would have made a difference is to have left a few seconds earlier or later, or taken a different route. Sometimes braking and swerving helps (didn't help me), sometimes accelerating past helps.
But (however!), regardless of all that, and who's at fault, and what the circumstances are, there's always something to learn from it. EXCEPT for that one time when it's fatal, then it's too damned late.

In my experience, the clever may not need it, but they sift through it anyway, to find out whether it holds something that they can use. It's one of the things that defines them as clever.

On the 23 October I wrote it off :(
I was riding through Ngongotaha (Rotorua) towards Hamurana, quite happy cause I just picked up my gum and patches to give up smoking! :jerry:
I was behind two cars which turned into side streets(the street with 4square on it and the street between the two corner bakerys). I looked down at the speedo(as you do....well should anyway) I was going about 45/50ks which is the speed limit, I look up and with in half a second I was on the ground screaming, trying to breath.
A man in a toyota surf didnt see me and went to do a Uturn. (fucking dorklanders!!!! SERIOUSLY!!) I hit just infront of his front tyre, took his headlight off.
So here I am in fetal possion in the middle of the ground winded. next thing I know theres like 10 people around me trying to talk to me and touching so I tell them to all FUCK OFF! dont fucking touch me, fuck off you cunts etc etc etc. obviously i wasnt broken i was breaking and moving around, yeah? :2guns: Then i saw how broken my bike was. I've never screamed so loud in my life, and continued to not cooperate.
half of the people backed off blah blah blah the ambulance came (something i was very pissed off about) and the cheeky cop took my key and didnt tell me(why the hell cant they do their jobs properly!!!).
No broken bones according to the doctor. sprained wrist(which i actually need xrayed again), thumb, pulled limgiments in my knee.the physio therapist half fixed that tho :D so I can walk again.but everthing is STILL sore.
My poor wee bike:crybaby:
The good news is....insurance. I now have a new bike(even tho im still really sad about minton)
:D :banana: :banana: :banana:
1990 cbr250rr
thats not very nice, telling people who have the decency to stop and try and help you to fuck off. If you said that to me, I'd be like, I hope you have a fucking broken leg or something bitch, next time pay more attention. Then I'd give you the bird and laugh at your broken bike.
Im glad you alright though. :laugh:

So do you not give a shit about your bike then? Some people here care a lot about their bikes, its more than metal to them. They have flaws, and they have good points, and despite all being similar they are unique.
Not too dissimilar to say a pet... I'd be pissed if my bike was destroyed and its only a GN!
:lol: I gave my best wolf whistle, then i heard scratching at the door, I opened it, and there was my bike waiting wagging its rear cowling, waiting to go for a ride!
Sorry, my I just can't help myself......
Anyway yes I do like my bike, I polish it, look at it admiringly, love the noise, like to let someone else ride it so i can hear what it sounds like inside the house, then outside the house etc etc, i could just leave it running and listen to it. But I more like riding it, and going places.
But my bike is not what i call a friend, or a pet, something id give a name to anyway, its a piece of machinery, something that for the price, is worth insuring, and if it gets damaged i would be more relieved that I or any other rider could walk away with body bits together.
Sooooo......when i mentioned it is only a piece of metal and was insured, it means my priority for myself and for anyone else is its good they are okay.

While for you it may be a piss take, perhaps try to understand that for some, its far from that. Plenty of the experienced bikers (and even those not experienced) have attended accidents, even fatalities. A decent portion of those have even attended their mates fatalies, perhaps held them in their arms while they died etc.
When someone perceived to be a relative newbie posts up about how it completely wasn't their fault, nothing to learn etc, it worries those people. They post with the simple of aim of trying to prevent another statistic (it doesn't have to be the OP, even someone reading the thread). Plenty have seen newbies post up, tried to assist them, and then they do have more serious incidents or end up dead. Hence the reason they take it seriously.
If you haven't experienced any of that, good for you. Personally, I find the hardest part is looking at the loved ones try to deal with it or the innocents killed, who truly had no control (children etc).

I see your point and I agree. And I do everything I can to prevent crashing in any way!(shall I wite a novel about it?) I have learnt from this. And I do value all the advice but its the same thing over and over again. They've all jumped in for the kill and want to convert me into a good little biker who follows every bit of advice everyone gives. thats how it seems anyway.

I went to the ride right ride safe course on sunday and met this guy who had been riding as long as I hvae. Then I asked, How many km's have you done? and he said around 1000.
So there you go. You can pack 20,000 or more km's into 6months riding.

Yeh bloody inconsiderate dorklanders, they should atleast wait untill your paying attention to the hazards around you before making U-Turns.
Atleast then you've got fair chance to avoid collision....oh I mean so you can reduce some speed for the inevitable crash.... ummm no before they hit you with the immense speed from accelerating with full wheel lock from a stationary position.
If only it were possibly to assume everyone was trying to kill us maybe we would then consider other vehicles as potential threats.
I lack the depth and capacity to give pleasure, yet people still call me a ....(rhymes with runt).

Also! you shouldn't judge some one on the number of months experience they have.
I went to the ride right ride safe course on sunday and met this guy who had been riding as long as I hvae. Then I asked, How many km's have you done? and he said around 1000.
So there you go. You can pack 20,000 or more km's into 6months riding.
You've done over 20,000kms in 6 months?

It was an example. And it is possible.

20,000k's is still SFA and in no way counts as experiance if a third of those k's is done checking instruments or looking blindly to the horizon.

Well put it this way, if it were a kid running out onto the road would you sit here saying 'well it was 100% his/her fault'.
We're all just concerned about your safety and the safety of others.
Priorities : not getting a speeding ticket, looking where you're going or making sure no ones gonna kill you.

No. The purpose of the thread was so that she wouldn't have to repeat the line "A guy pulled out in front of me and my bike ended up write-off, now I have a CBR250RR"...
Funny how the many high and mighty of KB have taken it upon themselves to offer advice where it was not requested, make judgements of people they haven't met, and antagonise a young girl who has just moved from Rotorua to the big smoke.
As it is, she already got proper help - in the form of Ride Right Ride Safe - where she was actually able to learn, practice and gain confidence in the handling of a motorcycle.
I wonder how many people in this thread would actually walk the walk when push came to shove? Seems a lot of people in this thread are happily contributing to global warming by the amount of bullshit coming from their mouths.

Saying that would have been easier, IMHO.
And to be fair, she had the accident in Rotorua. Her now living in Auckland has nothing to do with it.

You will find many kiwibikers that you meet in real life will tell you exactly what you are reading in the posts.
Why do you have this massive pole lodge up your arse? You put up a thread asking why you crashed, and then dont like it when people tell you the truth. If you get taken out by a car when you were looking down at the instrument panel then I would put the majority of blame on you. Who knows what you could have done to prevent said accident. Im not picking on you, I dont think anyone is, they are just telling you what is obvious. Go back to RRRS and tell them you crashed and the reason behind it i.e. you were looking at your speedo and then see what they say.
om nom nom this bait is yummy.

No amount of riding courses is going to save your arse if you dont have a good deal of common sense to go with it dude. Young girl moving to the big smoke. Fuckin hell mate, if you are old enough to move cities by yourself then you have to learn to stand on your own goddamn feet, and I dont even see the relevance of what that has to do with her crash.
If you spend your time checking out your speedo in auckland traffic, well my condolences in advance.

Oh yeah, I love bait.
Where was she asking why she crashed fool?
All I see is a bunch of wankers hell bent on raming their views down someone elses throat. You really are a fooken slow learner aint ya. Didn't learn a thing from the jimmy the rat thread I see.
Let me help. If someone wants your advice I'm sure they'll ask. Now go hold your breath and wait for someone to ask.

I wasnt saying it was hard to do. If my bike was my only way of getting to work Id be doing at least 700kms every week, which amounts to 18,200kms in 6 months. And then add on extra for joyriding. So no, its not hard. I was just asking if she had done it.

In your usual style, you just ignore your all too frequent inconvenient fuck ups, like she didn't ask why she crashed and instead attack the man.
Come on point out where she asked.

1000Kms? I did that once - it was a good day! Last Friday to this Tuesday I did a bit over 2000Kms - riding is fun as long as some dick in a cage doesn't do a U-Turn right in front of you.

I don't have a car licence and throwing in commuting, weekend after weekend riding to and around the wairarapa plus Auckland to Wgtn trips and Wgtn to Bay of Islands return a few times that helped....

That sounds like a fun goal! But if you read all the GN hating threads, then clearly i would never manage that. After all my bikes gonna fall apart from rust about 3 years ago. Somehow. Oh well, lets see what the little GN can do. Although it must be lots more fun clocking up the miles on a CBR!! :cool:

Really? Think my bike would be worth more if it didn't have 90,000km all up thanks to my commuting. Would make better use of my tyres too.
