L Plate Cop…. Both Brain & Balls

[S&S]

L Plate Cop…. Both Brain & Balls

Sunday arvo, back roads of Red Hills Rd, Kumeu, 4 bikers hit the sweepers & straights to finish off a brilliant weekend of riding, meeting Charlie Boorman, & BBT.

During the arvo ride, the rain comes down but doesn’t deter the 4 keen kb’ers from the sights of Hellensvile.

10 mins into the ride, Dynamytus50, “ L Plate Cop” comes sweeping around a sharp left hander & into a 1 km straight, starts to open up his little blue beast & make it scream, but buttons off behind a cage “lovely lady car driver” that decides to over take a cyclist at 120km plus in a 100km zone “in the wet”, once in front of the cyclist this “lovely lady car driver’ hits the anchors as hard as possible to turn into her driveway, & all in the mean time cutting the cyclist & “L Plate Cop” off in the wet. With hard breaking by the cyclist & 20 years experience under his belt avoids the interview with the side of the cage, but Dynamytus50 “4 week Learner” on the other hand has now lost all options of swerving or breaking his little blue beast of a GSX on the wet roads only too become a permanent fixture on the back of her car.

Or not…..

He breaks hard while keeping control, no where to go, decides to dump his bike on its side & follow it in to the unknown & hoping all the while his bike will slow quicker than the traction of the tires, the bike & coppa slow enough to let idiot lady pull into the drive while he continues narrowly past the back of the car & continues for another 20 meters down the road until slowing to a stop just before a welcoming lamp post.

Dynamytus50, L Plate Rider should hense fourth be called, “Super Cop”

“All with the permission of Dynamytus50”

Rest up Ben.... hope ya feel better soon :) Sorry about ya little blue beast :cry:

Dunno if you can cover them in tickets that thickly but it would sure look good.

Hope she gets the book thrown at her :banana:

Sorry to hear bout that dynamite, ya seem like a good guy!

[DemonWolf]

Interesting to hear what comes out of this for the 'lovely lady car driver'... Hope Dynamytus50 heals quickly (Hope the injuries are only minor!) and gets his bike back on the road...

[SlowHand]

Was this on Nixon rd? I remember driving past seeing 4 bikes, thought something came loose or something. doh. shoulda stopped.

Get well soon.

[Sniper]

Bugger, hope he heals up soon.

Little old lady should be bloody injured!

[Lou Girardin]

Thanks mate, i have been hobbling around Takapuna all day, went and saw a movie with a mate....but right now i wish i was out riding :-(

post the pics up of the crash if you can sometime when you get home Si..

Im just glad i spent so much on getting decent gear, need a new lid but my leather jacket,draggin jeans, knee protectors, boots and gloves are all ok...just been "seasoned" now, pretty good for a 100k slide i thought!

stupid cage drivers! :stupid:

Welcome to our world. Will you and her be meeting in a place of justice?

[Cibby]

hahahahhahahahahha

Good effort ben...

4 week learner aye/

You will be up to The_Dovers level in no time if you keep that up !! ;)

:doh:

[ducatilover]

shit dude too many crashes, its like we're being hunted [well i was just being a twat when i crashed but hey im 16 right?] good to hear that you didnt hit that bloody cage....fuken cages....:angry:

[Pathos]

Shit you've only been at it for 4 weeks?

hell I probably would have just ran into the back of her without time to think...

[inlinefour]

Hope your riding again really soon and not too sore from the experience.:yes:

[Riff Raff]

Hey Ben, hope you're feeling better. How bad is your bike?

[Rashika]

well what a shit of a thing to happen mate... bummer and damn bummer :doh:

[metric]

Hmm could look at doing her for dangerous or careless but its a bit iffy because i have a natural bias against her and there are no independant witnesses (no other people who saw it who dont know either of us - apart from the cyclist who i was in too much pain to bother getting the details of..) and the way the media is today they could put a really bad spin on it. I will have to think about it.

Nah go for it... she deserves it! idiots like that will never learn otherwise


Im a little gutted as shes a 2002 done 8000k..got her for 3,900 dont think i will get that same deal. I will probably go to a CBR or ZXR next...need a new lid as well as thats not covered by the insurance and it got a fair whack...

It sucks so much having to use four wheels and not two :(

Go the ZXR route... I've had mine about 6 weeks - it RULES!!!

Good luck getting back on the road mate...

[stify]

bugger...cager should be at least be warned

[Lou Girardin]

Why not lay a complaint as we do and let another cop investigate?

[heavenly.talker]

Sorry to hear about the accident Ben
Hope you are feeling better and have new wheels sorted out soon.
Take care and best wishes!

[ducatilover]

Man those sv650's look nice...i heard one with a scorpion pipe on it...sounds really close to the big vtwins, very nice bike.
650 vtwin on a learners? who does that? ahem, cough cough......dude unless you are really mature don't get an sv650....unless i can ride it:nono:

[Mattyc]

good to hear you are ok

Sucks arse that she wont be punished, have you considered vigilante justice. Ive got a good case of the runs at the moment, and my speciality is crapping on bonnets.... i offer my services

[crashe]

Mate, lay a complaint... and let the other police officers deal with it.
You can give an accurate account of what happened... as can all your witnesses..

She just about took out two people....... and that aint good at all.

Rest up and get well soon.
See you back on a bike real soon.

I will have to think about it.

I think the bike will be a write off to be honest, its insured for 4k and they will only repair up to 75% of the value and the damage is pretty bad (fairing 2800 (which leaves only $200 to fix the brake pedal and hand brake, straighten the bars and repaint the engine cowling thingee)

If it gets written off...you get your $4k minus excess...find out where it's being sold and buy it from the insurance company...leave the fairings looking like shit, fix the functional parts. You'll likely take another dive in the next two years.

It's sad that the first one happened so soon...but if it's a good bike, and most of the damage is cosmetic, then it might be economical to try this route.

[speights_bud]

Gutted mate, but at least you not in too bad a shape.
I know that feeling all too well when you get cut off. Happened to me 3 times yesterday (bus, some punk in a car failed to give way and a 4x4). Bloody cagers.
I'd have a go and see what you can get out of her, maybe she should make the claim on her insurance? but then again maybe not.
Good luck with it all anyway:)

Nice choice of bike :yes: :niceone:

[N4CR]

Good to hear, hope to meet you on some rides soon. I was looking forwards to seeing you on the westpac ride, I figured you would be in a cage somewhere playing god ;)

[Rashika]

Excellant about the bike!

Oh and i like the choice of car too :woohoo:
