Minor accident - advice needed

[justsomeguy]

Hi there,

Parked in a loading zone today in New Market behind a honda HRV remuera tractor - FULL OF PEOPLE except the driver

I first approached the vehicle from behind until my head was alongside the rear window - which had a passenger and then reversed so that my back wheel hit the curb and the front faced the road - there was about 6-8 feet between the SUV and me.

I had a quick payment at Bond and Bond.....so I would be only 2 mins - empty store.

Just as I was leaving - still on the bike - putting it in neutral and getting off. I saw the driver cross the road and we made eye contact - happy that she had seen me and anyway all the people in the car knew I was there anyway I took off.

Barely turned my back and THUD bitch backed into my bike and dropped it and was about to take off....

Ran stopped her - she says - Oh did you park behind me??

Made her come out and wait until I pick my bike up and see that luckily only my right mirror glass has broken - nothing else.

But I need to replace the glass as it's cracked.

I ask her if she's gonna pay for it - she says it's my fault as that was not a designated motorcyle parking area----- :mad:

Then she said that she did not know I was parked behind her and that she did not know there was a bike there -

When I questioned her about seeing me when she was crossing the road - she said - Oh, I thought you were leaving.......

Now this is a load of shit - the family must have known I was there....anyway asians/chinese so - Family immediately forget english - or don't speak it - so I cannot speak to them women insists that it is my fault as it is not a designated motorcycle parking......

I began to get a bit pissed and said in a rather angry voice that you CAN park a motorcycle on the road - you don't need "special" motorcycle parking.....

She then threatened me that she'll call the cops - so I say GOOD go ahead and call them they'll sort you out....this got her a bit taken back......then she goes ohh... don't have a phone - can you go and call them.....effing bitc_ .........

The only damage done to her car was a scratch on the spare wheel cover these SUV type things carry.. two minutes and a bit of scratch remover and she'll be fine......

Anyway I was getting late so just got her rego details and pushed off......

I need a new mirror and I really don't want to pay for it.......I'm flat broke anyway and I'm pretty sure it's her fault for backing into me.

How much would a mirror cost for a ZZR250?? Cos depending on that I'll bother with contacting my insurance company to go sort this out......

Can you insurance people and others please advice

For a car, as long as its not a funny shape or curved, it normally costs about $40ish dollars to get a new glass cut. Might pay to check a glass shop and see what they can do

HEY COCK BAD LUCK , SAUVARINS IN KINGSLAND CAN PUT NEW MIRROR GLASS IN THE HOUSING FOR $20 OR YOU CAN GET AN AFTER MARKET ONE , BEWARE JUDGEING DISTANCE WITH NEW UNCURVED MIRROR.
YOU SHOULD HAVE CALLED THE COPS IMMEDIATLY AND SAID SHE WAS TRYING TO LEAVE WITHOUT GIVING DETAILS

[justsomeguy]

Visited action wreckers as I needed something there - and he said the glass could be replaced but it would never reflect properly - I would be better off getting a new one.....

[DingDong]

Dude... if you were legally parked,(also a wof/reg/ dont need class 6) it's her problem, drivers have an obligation to check behind vehicles before reversing. It's in the road code(I dont have a class 6, but working on it!)
Call your insurance company, give them her contact details so they can kick her arse. She might have a special AKL licience.
Good luck :nono:

I was a bit hesitant to call the cops as I don't have a wof or rego -- need a bloody part for me rear brakes that is taking forever to come from Japan - need that to get the wof and rego and I didn't have L-plates on. Wof and rego expired just under 2 weeks ago.

[pyrocam]

as an ex claims handler I can safely say that you should lodge a claim with your insurer. you are definatly 100% not at fault.

couple of pointers
1) person reversing = always at fault (unless you like drive into the front of them or something crazy)
2) even if your not 'meant' to be there. she still didnt see you = careless driving. IE. if you were doing something you perhaps should IE. moving down the left of a line of waiting traffic and someone opens a door on you. they are at fault (for a couple of reasons, also note that the road code says you may not open a door at anytime that it may cause injury to a person)
3) if you were stationary and the other vehicle was moving, they are at fault. The idea is. what if it was a person or a child?

If you need any help talking to your insurer, then im quite happy to help.

If you DONT have insurance (god forbid) then lodge a complaint with the police.

hope this helps and if you want any more info dont hesitate to ask.

Cheers

Oh well... bad luck, you should have kicked her tail light in and speed off like a madman... :devil2:

WHY ARE SO MANY MOTORCYCLISTS BROKE?

I'm inbetween jobs and just come off paying HP payments, wof and rego payments for my car......

EDIT : Well I have a part time job - but the company is in financial difficulties - so I am looking for a new job - in the mean time the current company is searching high and low for some money to bring me up to date with the payments owed.

[justsomeguy]

No wof or reg?? Then it's all your fault - sinner :)
What part are you waiting on?

I need a little rubber elbow that carries brake fluid from the rear brake reservoir to the brake master cylinder - since that bit is broken I cant transfer the rear brake fuild - so no back brakes.

[DingDong]

...jobs ...paying HP payments, wof and rego ...car......
???? huh???

[FROSTY]

Dude you made a mistake not calling the plod.I'd suggest NOW you are basicly screwed. Shoulda, coulda .woulda is now besides the point-Reality is you hit her up for the money with no impartial witnesses -she will deny the whole thing or say you lied about the whole thing,
Sorry dude Thats the reality of the matter-You really had some weight right there and then to get her to pay up -Its just a lesson learned now

[WINJA]

YOU CAN BUY A $1 PIECE OF HOSE TO GO IN THERE, KIDS TODAY HAVE NO IDEA.

[bugjuice]

could you not just take it on the chin and pay 20 bucks for a new mirror? Sux big time, I know, but for the sake of how much, is it worth it? If the bike was really munted like the crank case split etc, then fuckin go ape and I'd be backin ya, but for a mirror? hate to say it, but pick your battles.. Just pay up and bite your tongue. Tis shit, but it's 20 bucks.. Hound the crap out of her, get her insurance details if you can, but it's a mirror..

Sheesh ya friggin eeejut --and you diddnt call me WHY??????
Remove said resevior and bit of pipe -go to waitamata Hydraulics and get a length of clear piping that will fit over the connection to the master cylinder and is resistant to brake fluid.(200mm ish long) Youll also need a cap or bung to go in one end of it.
use a hose clip to secure it to it onto the master cylinder.
Fill the tube with brake fluid and bleed the brakes. (shouldnt take mere than a couple of pumps) Refill the tube with fluid as needed.zip tie the tube to the
Frame rail or similar so it doesnt flop around. Put a 1.0mm hole in the bung or cap. fit it on the end of the tube.
VERY IMPORTANT--check the fluid level every 1000km
This will work and you will get a wof provided it isn't visible.
It isn't a pressurised section of the brakes so wont need high pressure tubing.

That;s what I needed to find out - if it's a $20 part then this is the last you'll hear of it.

But if I'm gonna need to get a $50-100 dollar mirror - or something then I'm not gonna pay it.

You still think so??

have a look at the diagram earlier.

It's a $14 bit of rubber about 1 inch long that should be here from Japan "any time soon"

[Ixion]

nah mate it's not that simple - otherwise Death or Kerry from Motohaus would have recommended it ages ago.

How does the plastic bit attach to the cylinder ? I would have thought that any engineering shop could run up something in copper for $20.

Or, if you have the broken bits , Araldite should do the trick. It's not pressurised.

Prolly not worth bothering now since the kosher bit must be near, but might have saved some grief (and presumably you have no rear brake at present ?)

Yeah - no rear brakes -- just that since it's a little $14 part I was just waiting for it to turn up.

[FROSTY]

I agree with ixion.The plastic tube must connect to the metal housing somehow.Most likely it threads in. So unthread it and get a plug thats the right thread with a right angle on it -then do the plastic tube trick

[FROSTY]

point is if youd fixed the brakes youda had wof n rego so ya coulda screamed to the cops.

Yes Sir - your Royal Highness Sir - that is the point.

And if it's gonna cost $20 for a new glass I'm not gonna wait 2 years for the insurance company to do its thing either.......

Dude you made a mistake not calling the plod....
Wrong!!!!!!!

The Plod view minor road accidents as a civil matter, and prefer not to get involved. If they are asked to attend, they will issue tickets to all at fault in any way. With no Reg or WOF on your bike, they would have had a field day with you.

Parking in a loading zone? - different towns have different rules, but down here no-one except goods delivery vehicles can use them.

Take it on the chin mate, it's a bitch but it's not a big loss.

By the way, with no Reg or WOF, you are not insured. Don't bother contacting your insurance company.

Don't let it spoil your weekend! :ride:

[Bonez]

An engineer should be able to sort the brake fiiting out quite easily. As for the mirror make an accurate template up and find a local stain glass hobbiest with a cutter and get them to make it then fit it yourself to the miror housing.

Naah!! can't call them oriental drivers -- that sounds too cool -- lets stick to "Bloody Asian Drivers" -- I think that's the official title. :lol:

About this revolution I read somewhere here on KB that NZ is going to in a few decades become an "agricultural satellite state" of China.....

And I don't want no revolution from you Oriental types - with your Ninja's and Kung-fu you'll screw everyone up -- not to mention you will probably be well organised (that's why your "bloody asian" countries are such mega successes) and well funded too.

Not Up to WOF Standard? $150 + green sticker + new WO,F $30.

I'm sure Mr JustSomeGuy will fix his brake and attend to the other matters as soon as his part arrives.

While not approbating the lack of WOF, I must admit to some sympathy. It is I think a very difficult question now with bikes, because local bike shops stock hardly any parts.

So if something is needed for a WOF , the odds are the part must come from the manufacturers warehouse in Outer Waziristan. Delivery time many weeks. And in the meantime (the WOF expiring in middle of this) one must either take the bike off the road(yes, I know, the proper and lawful course, but difficult if it is one's sole means of transport), or risk running without a warrant.

Or, effectively reduce the 6 moth warrant period to 5 months by taking it in a month or so before the old one expires. So that if something needs to be done one can do it before the current one expires. But it irks me enormously, six months is enough of a nuisance, five is worse.

I once tried to be clever and took the bike in a month in advance, having removed the tail light bulb. My theory was that if it would have passed, but for the non working tail light, I would have "lost" the month. But now the tail light would cause it to fail. I then wait a month and take it back, with tail light in, and get my full six months worth.

Alas for such clever schemes, the helpful tester passed it anyway, with a friendly "I'll pass it but yer tail lamps gone. Get another bulb on the way home". Nice chap, but he ruined a cunning wheeze.

I can understand the importer not stocking this part.... How many of us have ever broken this bit on any road bike? They may have this part in the warehouse connected to a complete rear master cylinder for $250 and probably expect that most people would get the part from a wrecker.

Well Death and Draco were with me at the time I fell off and Death then fixed up the bracket - it had broken into bits....

Once fixed I went and saw Kerry who told me my best bet was to wait for the part......

So I didn't think of asking you......
