pissed off

[rfc85]

went to countdown this morning to get some goodies,inside bout 10 mins as had to repack the beer into my bag go out-bikes looks fine-only 10 or so cars in the park (8 oclock) no one near the bike. get on start up-hello- mirror is out of adjustment ? must have knocked it when i got off-shit whole arm is loose -shug-readjust and off i go-1st roundabout go to apply the front brake-wheres the damn lever?- you got it -some arsehole had knocked the bike over in the carpark-at least they had put it back on its stand,no major damage, end of the brake lever broken off and bent down and a few marks on the pipe but still pissed me off- the bike was parked right in front of the window and the car park is almost empty, got me beat how the tosser hit it with all the empty space available :angry: :angry: :angry:

can it get any rude'r ? badluck dude, but how did u manage to not notice before the roundabout O_o

[White trash]

There's no chance it was parked slightly unstable and fell over by itself, some kind soul picked it up?

I've done that myself.

[rfc85]

na-was on the side stand and backed into the gutter,didn't notice the brake as didn't use it before the roundabout

[Zed]

I sympathise with you. Can't say it's ever happened to me but I have heard a lot of horror stories none the less!

The old story though, people will have accidents like that and if no-one sees them do it they just walk away and don't take any accountability by leaving a note, some people do but very few I think nowadays. If they/we don't leave a note then surely it's criminal behaviour!

At least his conscience dictated to pick up the bike, unless a good passing samaritan did? :weird:

Question: Was your bike in a park? If not, they could rightfully argue that they didn't expect a vehicle to be parked there - therefore it is your fault....

[Aitch]

His bike wasn't a toddler........you might not expect one of them to be there either!

[wkid_one]

Why the fuck would you park a toddler?

[Aitch]

Why the fuck would you park a toddler?

Why the fuck not?

[Ixion]

Why the fuck would you park a toddler? Well, you wouldn't just leave it idling in neutral would you ?

[cowboyz]

Toddlers dont have a neutral.

[Ixion]

Toddlers dont have a neutral.

Would not that lead to excessive clutch wear when waiting at traffic lights?

[rfc85]

yep in the middle of a park, front wheel facing right and locked and on the side stand leaning to the left and it went over on the right hand side,can only think someone parked to close and knocked it over when they opened the door,but its not that easy to do,and if they ment to do it they would not have picked it up again,its got me a bit beat how it was done as there are no marks-wrong- just went an looked again,it has been hit on the left hand side cover and does fall over quite easy when you give it a nudge,just unlucky for me but not a lot of damage
not a toddler,but the only baby i got !!!!

[riffer]

That's what you get for parking at Countdown.

Try Pak N Save.

They've got the nice motorcycle and bicycle parking on the left of the supermarket, well away from the harrassed mothers in their Pajeros.

Bad luck though.

Hope the bike is better soon. At least GN's are cheap to fix. Ask matthewt what a brake lever for an MV Agusta costs and consider yourself lucky you don't own a fragile piece of Italian machinery.

YEAH THEY DO , ITS CALLED A TABLE SPOON OF GIN IN THEIR MILK

[mstriumph]

Hubba - toddlers running on alky. Now, next thing is to turbocharge it.

Bollocks. There's no defence to hitting a stationary vehicle.

[R6_kid]

lucky its only a GN then aye. (p/t)

lucky u didnt ditch it on the roundabout. And i've heard that GN parts are fricken expensive, specially considering the bikes been around for like 25years.

[Waylander]

Maybe some nuthead had themself a sit down and dropped it or something.

[dawnrazor]

Just a thought but is it worth going to the store manager and asking them if they have security cameras in the carpark, and if so were any pointing in your direction that might have caught the incident, and potentially a number plate if it was knocked.
Probably won't have any joy, but might be worth a look.

Obviously i've been watching to much LAW & ORDER

Weeeeell, at CD Upper Hutt, if you head out toward the hill-end of the car park, there's a bunch of secluded parks that noone ever goes in. And it's close to the entrance and whatnot. Well that's what I see from the employee's cafeteria, anyway..

While on the topic of interferring with parked bikes, I had parked mine in a carpark for training on Sunday and clipped the helmet on the holder (as I wasn't far away) and some little tosser put his bloddy rubbish in it (friggen apple core and paper bag) :angry: The cheek!!
