You can do it! Pass that bike.

[NC]

I picked up the mighty A100 lastnight, awesome bike it is :D
Travelling back down the Hutt Motorway with BL behind me in the car keeping an eye on my shitting riding skills, nothing out of the ordinary. There is on of those huge trucks with those pointy arrows on the back of the truck telling people to move into the other lane.
As I'm approtching the truck I'm constantly glancing in my rightside mirror watching a white car (merc) speed up and TRY and cut infront of me, totally fucking the whole manovor up, the dick locks his breaks up and smashes the right front side straight into the back of the truck doing about 80kms -110kms?
I thought I was fucken done for! I was expecting the merc to bounce off the truck and slam me into the barrier, or at least wipe me out.
I didn't stop, I think it was best for him/it if I didn't.

What a tosser.

[James Deuce]

OMG!

I'm flabbergasted, but it's cool that the mighty A100 kept you safe.

[Sniper]

Good work NC. You should never stop for arseholes like that

[SPORK]

Yuss! (I think)

We need to all respect the power of the A100!

[Odin]

An other merc bittes the dust :clap: Hope the driver was ok. Have you had a look for an article in the local papers or the like ?

Good to hear you'r all right and got clean underware on again.

[bungbung]

Go Ruth,

Is that <b>the</b> a100?

[Lou Girardin]

Call the cops and make a statement. It may serve to increase charges from careless to dangerous.

[MrMelon]

I thought I heard a dirty old 2 stroke caning up and down the road here last night...

[skelstar]

I was riding down the motorway last night and saw one of the trucks with the arrows etc. Infront of it was a car stoved into the dedian barrier (quite messy) and there was a police car there as well. About 9:20pm. When did the incident happen NC?

[feistyredhead]

na the guy wil be insured to the max....or really well off give him a while and the bugger will be back to scare the bikers!

[Hitcher]

People who drive late-model European cars are unlikely to have paid for them with their own money. A business somewhere will have financed this purchase and be paying vast amounts of FBT on it.

[crashe]

NC - Glad to hear that you and your bike are ok.
Hope they throw the book at the driver.

Do ring the police as YOU are a witness to the accident.
They need to know excatly what happened.
So they can throw more charges at the plonker.

I don't think they will worry about you not stopping, as there was workers on site to deal with it. Plus you were in shock after just about being killed by that maniac.



PS: Nothing has come throu via email from "police comms centre" about the accident at all.

She wasn't required to stop.

[WRT]

Poor truck driver too!

[James Deuce]

The trucky will be sweet. Those trucks have a big deformable water filled buffer on the back that weighs about 2 tons and soaks all the energy up without even moving the truck. Saw a Nissan Bluebird fold up on one on the Nauranga gorge. Truck didn't even bounce up and down a bit.

I never get that "must speed up to pass in the most dangerous situation I've been in all day" mentality.

[BNZ]

i had some fucker in an M3 do the same thing to me last year on the auckland southern motorway. He hit the truck fucken fast.

[WRT]

Ah yes, just re-read the post. Didnt realise it was one of THOSE trucks . . . fuk there are some dickhead drivers round . . . can you get any more warning of impending doom?

[Groins_NZ]

I'd like to see the drivers try that on a bike; strap them to the bike with some duck-tape and lock the throttle open :wacko: - now try and pass me you MOFO!

[JohnBoy]

Nice one NC! never give up you line for no one... sounds to me like that joker needed a lesson on m'way ettique anyways!

Not all - Co-pilot has one that she owns.

And she bought it new?

[Big Dave]

And she bought it new?

Nah - jap import. Almost a Bandit 1200 less than a new commodore acclaim.

A sensible woman. New vehicles of this ilk depreciate by at least half of their showroom value in the first year of ownership. Call me old-fashioned or call me tight, but I can think of more creative ways of torching $80,000 plus in a year...

[badlieutenant]

Goes to show nc's got some skills there........I saw the car coming up fast and thought he might pull into the lane that nc and i were using. we were both breaking and nc had already moved over to the far side so there was enough room for him at a pinch to squeeze thru. However, because he had locked up his breaks his steering for some reallly really strange reason just didnt seem to work. A few seconds after he hit I could see nc's helmet moving around, I wasnt sure if she was laughing of swearing :D
The guy in the merc is really lucky he didnt hit nc and didnt hit the back of the truck full on as he would have come to a really quick stop then.
The position of the truck wasnt the best. Just after a curve that kept it hidden and without any prior warning that they were doing something up ahead, like a a sign saying slow down. Mind you the truck seems to slow you down rather well.

[Phurrball]

Blardy hell! And I thought we had all the nutters up here on Auckland's motorways... :oi-grr:

(Oh hang on - we do get the bulk of the non-driving nutters lobbing rocks off the overbridges at us...and those with hammers that aren't afraid to nail their point home...)

Good skills and luck on both your respective sides I think...






(Excuse the extremely sickening and gratuitous pun...):puke:

Respect to NC! Coming your way.

Can't remember the exact time, but it was after 9. It was a white "car"

I moved right over onto the far white line... I gave him room

[yeeha]

What a tosser, got what he deserved :bash: :bash: :bash: , glad to hear your ok though.
