What did I learn from this??

[FROSTY]

Well I guess it had to happen eventually.
Putting down the slowlane on Aucklands Norwestern motorway on the reverant (honda 600 revere) Trafffic was heavy -max speed 50 km/h
A good sized gap opened up in front of me as cars funnelled off the carrington offramp.
I opened the ol boy up to an earth shattering 80km/h taking advantage of the gap in front of me.:scooter:
A silver toyota curren driver in the middle lane decided she wanted to occupy the same bit of road I was on. She was pretty emphatic and dramatic in her desire despite me being right alongside her left front guard at the time.
The crunching noise of collapsing car fender and compressing bone/boot was pretty loud. The screeching noise of the reverents tyres going fully sideways was interesting as well.
Im not sure if it was the thought of the panel beating bill or the dropped cellphone that convinced her that 2 dont go into 1 but she changed her mind as I was bouncing over the edge of the road leaning on her car.
Back into the middle lane and away she went.
The reverent was none too amused at this treatment but seems none the worse for wear.
Walking with a limp is ol frosty

Ohh and what did I learn--always wear good bike gear

[thehollowmen]

Crap know that feeling

get a plate?
After all, medicals and a repaint are always useful.

[Karma]

More importantly, did you learn her Rego?

[Sketchy_Racer]

Did you stop the dopy nutbag and ask




WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING?


Bad luck dude. hope you are okey!!

[adiddy]

hard luck, hope it all heals soon

[Insanity_rules]

Oh damn Frosty, did you get the silly biarches plate number? She deserves at the very least, the book thrown at her. Glad we don't have a biker down thread here dude!

[hellnback]

Goddamn fuckers on the motorway talking on their fucking cellphones not concentrating on the haps around them... and then not to fucking stop and check to see if you're OK. Fucking Bitch!!


Sorry 'bout the foul language just pisses me off is all.

[crashe]

shite Frosty are you sure you are really ok...

If its really sore, pop down to Waitakere Hospital and get them to check it out.
A & E shut their doors at 10pm (cos its still a new hospital being set up)

[Hawkeye]

Glad to hear your ok frosty.
It's unbelievable the number you do see on cells. I pulled pulled alongside a cage where the stupid tart was holding the cell in one hand and talking in the air with the other. Then wondered why the truck on her right where she was starting to wander towards hit the air horn. Stupid bitch dropped the cell with the shock, grabbed the wheel and then preceded to swerve to her left only to find me there. Thankfully, I had already pre-empted the situation, had dropped a gear and was already rolling the right hand.
It's about time they brought in the same law as the UK, hands free only and actively policing it.

[beyond]

Man, that's a shocker!!! :shit:

But all to common unfortunately.

Gald you are still around to talk about it. Could have been a sojourn in the hopsital. :(

[FROSTY]

No not a biker down ----- but by gosh if you're hading citybound on the norwestern--check out the angry SIDEWAYS skidmarks just past the carrington offramp--looks kinda inpressive

[BNZ]

Kill Kill Kill Kill

[gixermike]

"hands free only and actively policing it."

I think you'll find it's completly inactive policing for mobiles here....probably not enough Cash in it. speeding fines go to the 'safety camera partnership' to fund cameras / pissup / pay rises......mobile fines go to central government..

[andrea]

hey hope your ok frosty man, you should get that foot of yours checked out asap.

As I said in my post:

[SpeedyGirl]

Glad to hear that you are ok babe!!!! :hug:

[yungatart]

Sheesh, Frosty, look after yourself mate.

[MSTRS]

Jeez Frosty - you must have been a reeealll bad boy in a past life. Hope it's paid back now.

[Motig]

Sympathies Frosty, and yes get the foot checked out just in case something goes wrong with it later.

[Ixion]

BTW, even if y'don't take the foot to a medic, make sure you put in a claim with ACC. Just to cover yourself in case it comes back on you later.

[Macktheknife]

Jeez frosty, you mean bastard, scaring that poor cager like that. You should be ashamed of yourself.
At the very least you should have stopped her to apologise for being in the bit of road she wanted.
and then smacked the stupid bitch in the head!
Glad you are basically ok, stay safe mate.
I also hope you got her number plate and reported her to the cops. btw it is an offence for her to fail to stop for an injury accident.

[SPman]

What Ixion said.

Sheesh - you lucky you didnt go down.

[kiwifruit]

hope you are ok Frosty
been in the wars havent ya..

[mstriumph]

oooooooooooouuuuuuch!!

i'll bet THAT smarts :shit:

hope you're mended soon :hug:

[erik]

You stayed on the bike through that?!

Glad to hear you're ok.

[SwanTiger]

Frosty, you should feel sorry for yourself and sulk then go and buy a new bike to make you feel better.

[FROSTY]

All good folks---Hey tis all Karma.
The way i see it --my panel beating bill 0=--- hers-at least $500

[andrea]

Frosty, you should feel sorry for yourself and sulk then go and buy a new bike to make you feel better.

hey yeah that works aye ill second that, when i get farked off i pick on the guys at work, then i make a trip to mums house and pick on my older sisters and then go shopping, then after that alls well

[Posh Tourer :P]

Frosty, you should feel sorry for yourself and sulk then go and buy a new bike to make you feel better.

Frosty? New bike? Did you just say those two in the same sentence??

[FROSTY]

[The Pastor]

Dont go there posh---Im STILL FUCKING WAITING FOR MY RACE BIKE ENGINE :zzzz: :zzzz:

how long you been waiting now? I had to wait 2 months for a blooming water pump! Just be lucky its winterish now and its not summer!

[Black Bandit]

Damn FROSTY - you'll have to post up in the Survival Skills section - how to get blind sided by a cage, munt their gear more than your own and keep it on two wheels :rockon:

Hope the foot heals fast.

[riffer]

Crikey mate. You gotta watch those cagers. :shutup:

[FROSTY]

Funny ya should mention that. All day ive be replaying it in my head.
Dont get me wrong I don't concider my riding to be above average-So How did I avoid it being a crash or a biker down??
So far the only thing I can think of is that at the moment of impact I leaned IN towards her car not as every instinct wanted me to-keep leaning away.

[Black Bandit]

... at the moment of impact I leaned IN towards her car not away....

... taking notes ... :niceone:

[DemonWolf]

Great to hear that you survived that incident.. boy you are very lucky indeed!!! I hope you reported the incident to the police even if you didn't get her rego!

[babyB]

bloody hell frosty ... hope ya is ok. ya dam lucky

(testing times. not good)

[Biff]

Reality checks are scary eh!

Glad you're pretty much ok.

[shafty]

Good to hearv you survived Frosty. I also reckon you should report it - maybe (long shot) a Motorway CCTV camera picked up the action - that I'd LOVE to see - and also her plate............

[FROSTY]

I'd love it if she put in an insurance claim ---hmm would make interstting reading

[dreamR]

sorry to hear about that.wouldve been good to get her plate , though often at times like this your a bit to "fazed" to take note of it.
(btw im kirk who nearly bought the zxr250,hi!)
