Fu*king shit myself tonight.

[Mr Merde]

Just coming into Papatoetoe, turning right onto the road leading to Middlemore Hospital (how very convienient). Arrow turns green and I start turning, next thing I know the arse of the bike has kicked out and I'm crossed overand sliding round the corner.

Bloody good kick of the right foot to the road stopped the bike from dropping down. Recovered and pulled over to the side of the road.

Heart pounding, Thank heaven for early motocross training way back when.

Looked at back wheel.

FUCKING Deisel all over the side wall and the edge of the tyre. Went back to the corner, walking. Deisel spill round the corner.

Concentrating so much on traffic I missed the telltale signs.

Scrubbed off the tyre. Rode carefully home.

That was too bloody close. I dont need another spill just yet.

[Maha]

The invisable danger to bikers.......thank fuck you got out of it ok and good reactions to save any harm that could have happened...:rockon:

[Deviant Esq]

Mate - top effort to keep it right side up, most of us would have put it down. Damn bloody diesel spills! Bet that was a ring tightener. :sick:

[Disco Dan]

Deisel

Deisel???? Noooooooo!!! run away!!!!!!

[Mr Merde]

Mate - top effort to keep it right side up, most of us would have put it down. Damn bloody diesel spills! Bet that was a ring tightener. :sick:

Not only that but I think that I suudenly contracted mumps, judging by the sudden appearance of the two lumps on the side of my throat.

[gijoe1313]

Crikey! :gob: Way to go keeping it rubber side down :yes: I guess your automatic reactions saved you there, just instinctively doing the right thing so you can post this up! :sweatdrop

I was just pootling home from visiting my granny in Auckland Hospital and took the long way home - via Newmarket/Greenlane/Penrose/Otahuhu/Manukau/Manuwera/Takanini ... I'm glad I didn't go down your route tonight! :sick:

Managed to change your pants yet? :dodge:

[Mr. Peanut]

What gear did you scrub your tyre off in? ;)

[Mr Merde]

What gear did you scrub your tyre off in? ;)

I have a mate who lives quite close (I was visiting him) From him I borrowed some sand.

That and a cloth removed the crap from the dangerous part of the tyre.

[j_redley]

Good on yah quick reactions. Hopefully that don't sit on the road and catch anyone else out.

[Buster]

Cheers for the heads up mate, Im gonna be hitting that patch at about 6:30 in the morning. Thats a bitch of a corner anyway. If the off camber onto steel joiner dont get ya, then the red light runners will.

[Waylander]

I don't think you understood Mr. Penus's post lol

[skidMark]

[N4CR]

diesel ****s first time i rode my new bike in the slight drizzle there was diesel all over the raod, makes things interesting coming from a 250.. hahaha made it though not too bad cus used to light up the rear of the 250 coming outta some interesectiosn heaps so got used to sliding around **** out everywhere.

but yeah when leaned over diesel = ouch + insurance.

not a cool sum.

[Mr Merde]

Burn.
Out.

Duh

I own up to being a little dense sometimes

LOL

[Mr Merde]

Did you phone the council to have them go clean it up, or even fire service. Next biker (who has not read KB..is there such a thing??) may not be so lucky.

No I am remiss in that. Just didnt think to at the time and it was several hours afterwards when I sat down at the PC.

I consider myself reprimanded and will attend o that duty in the morning.

THANKS FOR REMINDING ME.

[Switch]

Sucks to hear.
Its a common occurance in Hamilton now, with the boyracers. They put diesel on mainroad Roundabouts. Dickheads :nono:

[Guitana]

Always be wary of the evil Deisel monster at the roundabout he lurks at every turn!!!

[gijoe1313]

Otherwise you end up with a Bin Deisel? :whistle: :doh:

How's that leg this morning... the day after a decent jolt... often hurts.

[Sniper]

Shit, glad you got out of it. Those can turn nasty

[Biohazard]

Nice save mate....

WHY THE F*CK DO RETARDS INSIST ON OVER FILLING THERE FRIGGIN FUEL TANKS ????.......

[Mr Merde]

One of those puns that make you want to go out and cut your wrists.

Merde alors! I felt all my muscles tense up and my nuts retract just reading that! Brilliant save, mate.

[Mr Merde]

Not a planned save. Didnt even think about it. Long years of riding kicked in and kept the bike upright.

Thank god for actually wearing my bike boots yesterday. In shoes I would have been knackered.

[Macktheknife]

You lucky bugger! Well done for keeping it the right way up.

[Mr Merde]

You lucky bugger! ...


Thats exactly it. For once I was just that a "lucky bugger"
