...speed was believed to be a factor.

He'll make Superintendent in no time with such investigative skills.

I fought the door and the door won, I fought the door and the door one, I fought ......

[leathel]

He is lucky it was a flexible door and not a brick wall he ran in to.....

[red mermaid]

Oh I say, not in Hokowhitu!

Oh so that's the sequence, open garage door then enter.:Oops:

Battery in the door opener was prolly flat, eh.

a guy at work did something similar a couple of years ago. his wife heard him coming so pressed the button to open the garage door and he pressed his. he thought the door was opening as he ride into the garage but it was closing - knocked him off - damaged bike and car and a hole in the wall

appears there are two wheel dents half way up that door. Guess in reality it is one wheel and a head :gob:

[Banditbandit]

Yeah .. that's not very bright .. in fact it's downright stupid ...

But as the accident happened on private property I wonder why the police are involved ... (Uness that's not where he lives and he was not trying to park the bike in the garage ...)

Well yeah, if he was going too fast he'd have hit the back wall just as convincingly.

I guess if he was stationary it might not have happened:blink:.


I can laugh & laugh, but this has actually happened to me.

I was about 11 & I opened the garage door enough to push my LoLine 20 out & pedal to the shops to get a comic. It was drizzling. I came down the steep drive & applied the brakes. My sisters bike had lever brakes & my brothers back pedal. Sadly I was on my sisters old bike & the brakes didn't do squat for several feet as I realised that the door was now too low for my seated position & the braking distance now too short.

Knocked the bottom of the door out of the rail with me face, but I'm still beautiful (if a little dizzy:wacko:).
