Vagabond bins it!

[Vagabond]

Tuesday 6 Feb, had a car do a u turn across my path, resulting in a broken shoulder blade and various other minor abrasions/brusing :shit:

Question : How do I go about finding out which cops were on the scene, as I was admittidly rather out of it being more worried with things like pain?

I got carted off to hospital and never got details of cops or cage driver, will post more details once I feel up to it.

[Chisanga]

Oh my god! Not another one of us going down. Glad you are ok (ish) I woul dgive the local cop-shop a ring and get teh incident number from them

[Chisanga]

Must be something in the water out East Auckland way :(

[crashe]

Ring the nearest police station to where the accident happened....
They will have sent out the car to attend the accident.

They will also have a record of who attended.
Ask for the 'watch House' when you ring up.

They will ask where it happened and what time...... and your vehicle rego number.
As that will help find the incident number on the log sheet.
They should also give you the names of the police officers as well.

The police will contact you....... hopefully sooner that the 5 weeks it took them to contact me after my bin last year.

HeHeHe shit happens!:scooter:

[Vagabond]

Thanks Crash 'e'

[crashe]

Thanks Crash 'e'

Hey glad you are gonna be ok............rest up and heal well.

Keep a record of what was said at the accident and when you talk to the police... and the times you spoke to them.

Have no contact with the other person...... give them no details..... until the police tell you in writing who was at fault.

ADMIT nought.


While you can, write down what happened while it is still clear in your head...
draw pictures of what happened as well.

[yungatart]

Wow! Heal quick!
It seems to be a daily occurence at the moment... be careful and aware folks!

[Bytor]

Shit Colin glad you're ok though - how's the Z?

[Joni]

Ah babe... this just sucks! :(
Im really sorry to hear about this, but happy to hear you are not too seriously hurt... is your back ok?

I look forward to hearing more... Im worried now :confused:

[KLOWN]

FOR FUCKS SAKE can no one do a u turn without taking someone out, car or biker.

[sunhuntin]

cripes....how manys that been so far this month? *considers walking till march*

[Crisis management]

Perhaps the exception that proves the rule? :rofl:

[erik]

I hope you heal up quick.

[WickedOne]

Shit!!! Heal up well mate!!!

[McJim]

Bad luck mate - at least this proves it's not just me - Chisanga and you both binned without me being present. Must be the water after all.

[Vagabond]

Shit Colin glad you're ok though - how's the Z?

She's seen better days possibly bent forks, hard to tell though, headlight munted, new bikini fairing munted, RH footpeg broken off, mirrors etc.....
can't pull her out the garage on my own to give her a good look over!

[Vagabond]

Ah babe... this just sucks! :(
Im really sorry to hear about this, but happy to hear you are not too seriously hurt... is your back ok?

I look forward to hearing more... Im worried now :confused:

Shoulder is wort I have, now that I have plates and screws holding my back together, must be stronger than ever.lol

[Macktheknife]

Bugger mate, that's no good! shoulder problems can be tricky, look after it well.
Good luck with getting the damage sorted out, let us know if you need any help.

:yes: I would have bet the same but unfortunately the cops think otherwise!

Even though I explained to them that when the guy hesitated, I accelerated to try and get out of harms way, they deemed that doing +- 70km/h in a carpark was unnesessary (that being the approx speed at impact)

Barstard don't have insurance either.

They will also have a record of who attended.
Ask for the 'watch tower' when you ring up.

I think you may mean the 'watch house' - the Watchtower is actually something to do with the Jehovah's Witnesses!

hahahahahahaa yes......... you know I looked at that word... and thought .. that aint right..... but then looked again..... and thought yeah it must be.....

cheers will pop back and correct it in my original post...

[gijoe1313]

:gob: I think I will be investing in some more gear now :eek5: sorry to hear about your injuries - at least you must be have been the only one who didn't think "How's my bike?" :whistle:

Keep taking the droogs and get plenty of calcium! I dunno about this month ... must be the influence of Comet McNaught intersecting with the lack of 2007 release models and the decline of Roman civilisation :scratch:

And I keep thinking back to Crisis Management's omen ... too many of us are having incidents :sick: Please everyone, ride safely! :shutup: Enough provoking providence, Sod and Murphy!

[jtzzr]

Maximum Suckage mate, hope you are all good (besides obvious injuries) , Damned cages:angry: , Crikey I might give up riding for the month as well , What`s State Highway 16 like on an Intercity bus?

[Jantar]

more than 1 person a day died on NZ roads last year.

[Mr Skid]

I must say I'm a bit disappointed with this effort - nothing compared to the grace of going arse first into a fence post! :Pokey:

Hope things heal up quick!

[Two Smoker]

Geez Colin... You and crashing... Glad to hear your back is sweet, bugger about the shoulder though...

[KLOWN]

Hehehe like you can talk I seem to recall a few of your bins!:dodge:

[Vagabond]

give us some more details

Gonna have to hold off on the details cause it now seems that my insurance lapsed on 20.01.2007 :shit:

So it seems like it may be my word against his, depending on action taken in the near future.:shutup:

some insurance companies are good about this stuff, as long as you flick them some money to insure your bike for the next year.

True just waiting for a reply which should be in the morning!

[gijoe1313]

Gah! Let's hope lady luck is riding your well - shouldn't be a prob, don't they normally send you an "overdue" notice anyhows? :shutup:

[Dai]

Bad luck mate - at least this proves it's not just me - Chisanga and you both binned without me being present. Must be the water after all.

So McJim,

What area of Auckland do you live in?

It wouldnt be anywhere near East Auckland would it?

[jafar]

Get well soon :scooter:

[Chisanga]

I was at least 7km from McJim's house when I binned. And I think he was in Waiuku at the time, so he is absolved of any blame in my incident at least :)

So now we are starting to work out the effective area of "The Scottish Rider"

Waiuku to East Auckland is how far?

At least 7km from any major structure influenced by him.

Would it be possible to hook up a SAT NAV and plot his meanderings for a week or two. We may then be able to build up a graphical idea of the area of effect. Thereby allowing others to plot a no go area and a safe area.

[Ixion]

But, is his Aura of Bin that surrounds him of constant strength? Maybe it waxes and wanes with the moon ? Or the mating cycle of small furry subterranean animals? Or follows the ley lines? Or the railway lines?

Factors I hadnt considered. Major investigations needed here. Wonder if the Lottery Commission will give me a grant to further the study as it is very much safety related.

McJ.... If, in the ensuing investigation into your paranormal efect upon the stability of motorcycles, it is deemed a necessity that we engage a the services of an alien grroup to perform an anal probe, would you have any objections?

Feel free to step in here Dover.

[Vagabond]

Binning to water to astrology to small furry subteranian animals to lottery and finally anal probes!

You guys are really scary!

And here I was being afraid the sky might fall on my head!

Don't think I'm gonna leave home for a few months!

[gijoe1313]

Don't get me started now... :shutup:

[Chisanga]

Don't get me started now... :shutup:

Please start :)
