Bike knocked over by GREEN HONDA 4WD with CUSTOM PLATE in KARORI

[Milts]

Soooo just finished patching my bike up after I damaged it a few week ago, parked by Karori shopping mall just now (an hour ago), come out and it's been knocked over and damaged AGAIN. Witness said it was the car I had parked behind, which we both remember as being a green Honda four wheel drive with a personalised plate - but neither of us got the rego. Woman just drove off. My mate thinks he saw that vehicle over in Northland a few minutes later.
If anyone sees this vehicle or it sounds familiar, if they could PM me the rego that'd be great - I'm pretty sure if I saw it I'd remember.

That'll teach me for going to a quiz night instead of the wednesday night ride...

Did you get the details of the witness? and, maybe approach the mall. They might have security video. It might be hard to prove anything without much eveidence

Yeah, I realise... I have details of someone who works at the mall and talked to the witness, and I checked but there were no security cameras in the area. It's possible that the woman didn't notice (mayyybe) and so I'm hoping if I track her down then there won't be a fight over it.

[nothingflash]

That sucks mate - hopefully she simply didn't notice (could be likely with a tap perhaps) rather than being an asshole and just driving off...

I think this is quite possible. It was on a gentle slope, so she could easily have reversed a bit, tapped it just enough to knock it over, and then headed off. There's every chance she lives in the area so I'm going to go for a bit of a cruise (minus a wing mirror and with my fairing rattling) to see if I can spot the vehicle tomorrow evening.

[Laxi]

shit not having much luck lately huh?

[denefoster]

Bummer dude. Good luck on the hunt

Always good to be an optimist. Bikes are pretty loud though when they are knocked over (wished I didn't know that) But with a stereo going it would probably be very easily to not even notice.

Good luck in getting some justice!

[CookMySock]

um, sorry to be a cunt, but why are you parking behind cars? Don't do it bro. Park somewhere where they have to do a 99 point turn to get you.

um, sorry to be a cunt,

Well at least you are sorry.

Badda bing !














But he does have a point.

Even if there're no camera filming the actual event, there maybe ones available that caught the car that did it, where you can get the number plate. Once you have number plate and if the car has damages that matches your bike then insurance can sort it out.

Steve

Yes. Will not be doing this again. I thought I was being responsible, because it meant there was space for another car to park, whereas if I'd parked in front of the SUV then noone else would have been able to. Won't be doing it again, parking on the footpath and getting a ticket beats patching up the bike AGAIN.

IF you ever get a ticket write a letter explaining why. If its not right in the city they may let you off. It will help if you can send them a photocopy of any bills for repair work.

and he works just up the road...


but like DB said.. park so they have to make a point of getting you...(they still will, but at least it wont be easy..)

[CookMySock]

Won't be doing it again [...]Yeah just look after yourself bro. No one gives a shit when you try to do the right thing, and no one gives a shit ALSO when your nice bike gets munted - sad but true.

All this "trying to make the world a better place" crap gets tiring when it backfires on you time after time. I have to learned to lie and cheat to stop people taking advantage of me. Fuck them - look after number one, and a few select people who care about how you feel. The rest can go to hell.

talking about parking tickets.... if anyone remembers where i used to live... in newlands, yeah a parking warden drove up to that side street and started handing out tickets!!!! WTF?...

sorry off topic

Bummer buck...sucks! Unless you can locate the vehicle and it has damage matching the impact with your bike then there ain't much you can do...been there...

As for the parking thing? hey if I'm with a group of bikes then we all cram into one parking space but if I'm on my own I proudly park bang smack in the middle of a parking space. If a car driver has an issue with that then too bad. Tell someone who gives a shit.

Just start doing what WE should all be doing by NOW, use a whole car park, get the general public used to not having it! it's bloody yours and you may well have to pay 5 times as much for the privilage.
DB is right. Don't park behind cars, it's an open invitation for them to use their favourite line " I didn't see them officer".
Sorryr you've got a damaged bike again, but please keep out of their way next time.

It must be a sad life being so twisted and bitter about the hand life dealt you.

You should try reading some "positive pick up / self improvment" type books - would do you world of good !

the only way to park :niceone:

I hope you find them... And they pay up without a prob... good luck buddy..

FFS - you ride a Ho'Bag - aim higher in life.

[Tank]

Back to the OP thread.

Hope you catch the guy - Im super careful where I park and go to great lengths to make sure that im in a position where nobody will open doors on it, reverse over it, or where it can be knocked.

Its a pain - but that extra few mins can save a ton of heartache.

[The Stranger]

Well at least you are sorry.

Badda bing !


But he does have a point.

Another new sig - "I am Tank, I agree with dangerousbastard, no point in repeating what he said."

That poor fucken riding instructor being constantly reminded of one careless moment. Bet he never makes that mistake again.

Damn I think you're onto something there Timber.

CarJam confirms that 'LUCY C' is a Green Honda CRV

Time to fork out a few bucks for the Carjam report and that bitch is going down!

I would get the details and talk to the car owner - tell her that you have witnesses that saw her hit your bike and that you tracked her down from the number plate. Imply that you got the plate details from the witnesses and get her to admit to everything - then it doesn't matter that you didn't have the plate details at the time. If she thinks she is sprung and admits liability and pays the costs to fix the bike then it is all good.

Unfortunately if she denies everything then it would be an absolute bastard trying to prove it was her and getting some money.

[Fatjim]

Well at least you are sorry.

He's sorry? We're all sorry!

What fucks me off about this sort of thing is that its a third party claim, so there is no excess to pay by anyone. Bitch probably has one of those lifetime no claims bonus's as well cause she's such a good driver.

LOL ... used open2view .. and this looks like it may be the one.
