Scorpygirl crashes!!!

[Scorpygirl]

After reading a couple of posts about people binning their bikes this weekend, I thought I better write up my tale of woe. I crashed the Virago on Friday night coming home from work. I was riding along Sandringham Rd, in the bus lane, and a car did a right hand turn into a street right in front of me. I braked as hard as I could - left a skid mark apparently, but hit him in the passenger door. I can't say too much more at this stage. I am OK apart from a very sore upper arm, shoulder, mid-side area and a bruised finger and thigh. Thank goodness for really good gear!!!

The bike has bent forks and handlebars, a broken mirror and the other is twisted and a broken wind shield. That we can ascertain at this stage.

Oh well....watch this space.

[u4ea]

what can I say but BUGGER

[scracha]

Must be the time of year. Hope you got witnesses.

[yungatart]

Oh wow! You too!
Seems the ladies are dropping like flies at the moment, be careful girls.
Hope you recover soon SG, make sure Rhino looks after you well.

[Scorpygirl]

Must be the time of year. Hope you got witnesses.

Yip, got one witness who saw the whole thing, as he was waiting on the other side of the street to turn left. He said I didn't have a chance.

[fjones]

Damn, both of us are thankful you're ok. (me and principia, not me and my multiple personalities...)

fuck fuck fuck, people need to pay more attention when driving their cars though.

St Lukes rd today I was next to someone texting away, didn't even notice I was there.

Again, just happy you're in good enough condition to post here

[Scorpygirl]

Oh wow! You too!
Seems the ladies are dropping like flies at the moment, be careful girls.
Hope you recover soon SG, make sure Rhino looks after you well.

Thanks YT. Yes, he is lookng after me and wants me to go and see the Dr tomorrow to get checked out.

[yungatart]

Best you be listening to him then, wise man that he is!

[Mrs Busa Pete]

Thanks YT. Yes, he is lookng after me and wants me to go and see the Dr tomorrow to get checked out.

You make sure you go and get check out and make sure nothing is broken you naughty girl.:doctor:

[crashe]

Hey Scorpygirl......

Glad to hear you are finally going to go to the dr to get yourself checked out.

I sent Rhino heaps of pm's after our phone call last night after the accident happened.

Check out the riser's as well.
That can put the handlebars out of whack and then you think its the handlebars.

Plenty of ARNICA for the bruising....

Look forward to seeing the pics......


You know where to find me anytime.

[FilthyLuka]

well, apparently sleepy after a crash = concussion... but i dont really know

If you need a hand putting your bike back together, ill be happy to lend a hand or seven.

Man, people are crashing like mad this weekend... you shoulda dragged the punk out of his/her car and head butted them with your helmet :innocent:

I think I would have missed him I was shaking so much!!! :shutup:

[Skyryder]

Sorry about the bin Scorpy Girl. That's from one Scorp to another?? Just not too sure if your bin would have happened if you had not been riding in the bus lane. Maybe, maybe not but for some time I have been advocating the dangers of riding in bus lanes. Still does not excuse the car for turning without due care and attention. Hope all goes well for you etc.

[FilthyLuka]

I think I would have missed him I was shaking so much!!! :shutup:

hehe, i was kinda worried when i got back up... crashing was just like, "ah yeah, that sucked... meh"

although the slipper my ma threw at me when i got home hurt more than the crash :S

Well, everyone bins i guess... now that thats out of the way, i guess its time for a bigger bike! (pt)

[MSTRS]

Sheesh! Tired of reading these, you know.
Maybe, it's the 'cruiser' style bikes tryin'ta tell ya summat??
BTW sorry to read you and your ride are bent...um...er...damaged.

Yes, I know what you mean about bus lanes, I am always cautious coming up to intersection for this reason, but this time it was just too close. They were both saying I should not have been there cause it was between 4 - 6 pm and even the cop wasn't sure. Seems there are quite a few drivers that don't know the by-law about bikes in the bus-lane.

I will be even more nervous about bus-lanes from now on!!!

[Macktheknife]

So sorry to hear about this Scorpy, make sure you follow the advice of your man and get checked out by the doctor.
Heal fast and well, let me know if I can do anything to help.
I presume the cops are charging him though right?
keep us informed.

[RiderInBlack]

Bugger Scorpy, ya nay one I expected ta hear this from. But no counting fa the Wallies on the road with ya doing their best ta take us out, aye.

Hope ya get better soon and ya bike is sorted soon too.

And it took you two days to tell us! So glad to hear you are ok Scorpy girl!!

[terbang]

Holey Moley, not another one.. Glad your OK. Take care..B

[Scorpygirl]

And it took you two days to tell us! So glad to hear you are ok Scorpy girl!!

Yes, it has taken me a while to get my head around it. Also there is a lady passenger, the owner of the car, that is part of the biker community. She is a swinger on a side car too. She knew the lad that died last weekend. She looked after me and I don't want any repercussions for her or people that she may know.

I am OK. Thanks to all.

[Daffyd]

Hope everything checks out ok. Hope your Virago is ok too.

[Babelfish]

Sorry to hear about your bin...bloody bus lanes eh? Touch wood I havent had contact as yet, but know a heap who have, and some of them very good riders so although I'm sure you're going through the myriad of what-if's I hope you arent beating yourself up (I'm certain the cares done enough). :yes:

As for someone taking me out in such a way and even contemplating a mightier-than-thou "I dont think you are supposed to be using the bus lane" it'd be difficult not to replace their words with a set of carbon fibre knuckles. Although I go by the "its always my fault" mentality, there's no excuse for an arsey cager, especially just after you've been rag dolled over their car. :angry:

Hope everything works out for you and you are feeling better.

[Maha]

Now that explains why you guys didnt make it up here on Friday....:yes:
One way of getting out of a maha party.....:dodge:
Take care Scorpy and let Rhino do all the running around.....

[0arbreaka]

Glad to hear your still with us scorpy, go and see the doctor and keep us informed with whats happening to the prick.

[Edbear]

Appreciate your predicament and I guess the lady in question is rather upset, too. I'm sure you let her know you appreciate her efforts. The driver... another, "I didn't see you!"?

Your comments show there're two sides to incidents such as this, sometimes the driver is a genuine moron and should be slammed, but there are those who geuninely make a mistake and are very upset and remorseful at the mayhem they have caused. Maybe, hopefully, this one was the latter?

Glad your okay, there's too much of this going on lately!

[MyGSXF]

:shit: shit.. not good to hear.. glad you're 'ok' Scorpygirl..!!! take it easy!! :yes:

Jen :rockon:

[Terminated]

Dang.

Chin Up.

[Colapop]

You wanna hug?

[apteryx_haasti]

Ah man - another one. Glad to hear you're ok - hope the bike is not toooooo bad.

(ps - say no to Colapop!)

[Nasty]

Agree with apteryx_haasti .. no to cola unless ya want bones broken ;)

Glad to hear you are ok ... hope your bikes not too bad.

[judecatmad]

Wow, only just caught up with your thread.

So glad you're OK(ish). Get to the doc and get fully checked out - then you have some comeback with ACC later on if you have any problems.

Take care xx

[hitch]

Sorry you had a bad day, all the best and hope you heal quick and fast.

[Blondini]

Heck...Glad you are okish:yes: :love:

[KLOWN]

I think we need a special section in one of the forums for bins. i can't believe how many accidents have happened recently. Glad you all good scorpygirl.

edit. I thought cops were ment to know the rules they are enforcing?

[mstriumph]

NOT good, Gal!!

pity about the bike; glad you are ok, 'though .......... good excuse to rest up and be waited upon methinks!! :yes: [Rhino - you listening? lol!!]

[Scorpygirl]

You wanna hug?


Thanks for the generous offer Colapop. But afer seeing the aftermath of one of your hugs I think I will pass!!! :love:

[Scorpygirl]

Heck...Glad you are okish:yes: :love:

Thanks Blondini. Yip it has sure given me a shake-up, I can tell you. Just when I was getting my confidence and feeling more at one with the bike too!! :( The emotions are going up and down a bit at the moment, I must admit. Still we will just have to wait and see what the outcome will be.

[Macktheknife]

So what did the Doctor say about your injuries?
Nothing too bad we hope, you did go today right?.....

[avgas]

Sandringham Rd, in the bus lane
That area i know too well for stupid drivers........i busted up myself really good doing just that not far from where u are on dom rd.
People seem to use those residential roads (linkin dom and sandringham) as a way for them to short cut. Im fine with that idea - but its pisses me off they do it so recklessly.
Someday a kid is going to killed on St Albans ave or similar because an idiot taking a short cut was not watching what he was doing.

[Patrick]

Been doing it for 22 years...still don't know it "ALL"... Learn something new every day, still!!!

Good to hear all is good SG!!!

[Scorpygirl]

So what did the Doctor say about your injuries?
Nothing too bad we hope, you did go today right?.....

Yes, I went to the Dr today. I have to have an xray on my upper arm cause it's quite swollen and she is worried there might be a fracture to the humerus bone (Hahahaha!!! :shutup: ). I have a physiotherapy appointment on Wednesday to check out for other stuff. Just a bit sore like I have been hit by a bus!!! Nothing too bad really all things considering. It would have been much worse if I had hurtle over the car!! :shit:

[<G>]

Glad that you are ok Scorpygirl, make sure you rest and take it easy.

[Macktheknife]

Glad you are getting everything seen to properly SG, really happy you are not seriously hurt. Now just sit back and let Rhino take good care of you lol.

Take care and rest up... use the other arm to lift that glass of wine :whistle:

[Indiana_Jones]

I'll take it then. :shutup:

Glad to hear you're ok Scorpy, hope the damage is too much. :)

[slimjim]

[Scorpygirl]

Well insurance company have received the claim form. The assessor has been appointed. Just got to liaise re the assessment early next week. I have had one session with the physio and am starting to feel better already. Thanks for all the support.

[Nasty]

Glad to hear you are feeling better .. if only a little ... hopefully insurance sorted soon and on the way :)

[Scorpygirl]

Thanks Chickadee. I was so lucky. Sometimes it is surreal!!! I hope I don't have to go to court cause I don't cope with aggro stuff like that. I don't know what to say.

[Patrick]

No worries... your insurance co will recover their losses from him (including your excess), eventually, even if it is at $5 per week...

[Toaster]

Sad to hear of your crash. Hope you and bike are fixed soon!

[Scorpygirl]

The assessor came round today and said the bike is definitely fixable, so he has organised for Haldanes to pick it up in the next few days!!! Yippeee!!! :sunny:

I am going to physio to get my shoulder and neck sorted.

So all and all - bike and I are going to be mended and will be back out in the world of biking soon.


:scooter: :scooter:

Thanks to everyone for your words of support and care.

Why Haldanes?
They aren't Yamaha dealers.
Ok they were once upon a time, but havent been for a couple of years now.

Henderson Motorcycles Ltd in Henderson are Yamaha dealers, I think Red Baron is too.


Great to hear the bike is going to be repaired thou.

The bike lives.....

We talked to the assessor about where to take the bike and said that we bought it from Haldanes. He said that they were very good and because they had been Yamaha dealers in the past they would have all the contacts for parts. They have excellent mechanics there too. It didn't seem to be a problem to take it to them for the repairs.

[<G>]

Glad to hear you and bike are on the mend and that you are looking forward to getting back on the road - you go girl!

Hope it wont be in the shop for too long getting repaired.

[Supertramp]

Hesus sounds worse the more you read on. hope all will be well. ii'm sure all the biker comunity will agree with the coments about cars seems just as bad in palmy specialy just changeing lanes.glad i'm watching them and have time to react sad you didn't though.get well.

[Scorpygirl]

Haldanes picked up the bike at lunchtime today, so hopefully all will be well and she will be back on the road really soon!! :scooter:

[Kittyhawk]

Finally caught up and read the thread!

Hope you have a speedy recovery and no complications, as for the bike....hope the operation goes a success:innocent:

Always a spare pillion seat on the back of my bike!!

[Scorpygirl]

Always a spare pillion seat on the back of my bike!!


Thanks again but all is good for a pillion space on Rhino's GoldWing. We went down to Gisborne last weekend and it was good to get back into the saddle if only as a pillion. Only a couple of ahhh moments, the worse one being seeing a rider down as we left Opotiki on the way home on Sunday. He was conscious and the ambos were with him but still flipped me for a while.

Today I actually really missed going for a ride on the bike. It was a nice day and not too hot. Bum!

[Kittyhawk]

Yeah that kinda thing does send shivers down my spine.

Glad you enjoyed being a pillion. It's always alot of fun. I enjoy it when I get the chance.

How long before the bike is back on the road?

[Scorpygirl]

Good news to report...Rhino had a ring from Chris Haldane today to say that my fixed bike should be ready to pick up late next week!!! Yippee!!! :banana:

[crashe]

So if its 'fixed' how come you have to wait til 'late' next week?



Good to hear that you will be back on the road again real soon.

[Lteejay]

Just read the thread Scorpygirl. Glad to hear you are fine and you will be back on the road soon.
Cage drivers - bloody dangerous buggers.

[Scorpygirl]

Well I am a feeling a bit gutted at the mo. I had a ring from the assessor yesterday and he has finally got the price from Haldanes for the parts. The damage to the front part of the bike is more than we originally thought and it is now touch and go if she will be a write-off!!! :cry: The assessor is trying to do the best he can in negotiating the price, so at the moment it is a wait and see game.

[botb]

I wouldn't be whinging about the insurance at all writing it off!!! your pretty lucky they are paying out considering you were riding in a bus lane .... seems your at fault here too BUS....BIKE.....BUS.....BIKE i mean as a regular car driver which i guess most people are!!! a bike is not something you expect to be in a BUS lane so the driver may not have seen you or saw you too late ... yes yes yes i know driver/rider vigilance but we all get blase about it you obviously weren't bothered about riding in a bus-lane and the driver of said vehicle was not bothered about looking for bikes in the bus-lane i mean it is lesson learnt i guess that we do have to be very aware that not everyone is vigilant about expecting the unexpected we don't have bus-lanes here in dunno's:innocent: and please do-not get defensive or offended about my post just my perspective on the situation ... but :rockon: girl and hope your back on your ride in no time at all i binned mine about 8 weeks ago broke my leg no buses involved tho:innocent: brake lock-up to cut longstory short ...

[Ixion]

Bike in a bus lane is totally legal. And normal. Why should there be any question over insurance?

I use them all the time. Just wish the buses would keep out of them.

Actually, in Auckland City we are allowed to ride our motorbikes in the bus lanes.
It is written in their laws etc. Came into effect a number of years ago.
The bus lanes are for motorbikes, buses and pushbikes.

(the motorway buslanes is another matter all together)

I guess in the 'deep south' where you come from your city council hasnt allowed that rule to change.

[elle-f]

do they even have bus lanes in the deep south? :laugh: *tis ok, i too, hail from the deep south*

and yep, i also thought that bus lane riding was illegal for anything but buses but about a month ago somebody said it was ok.

[botb]

Lol well ya learn something everyday no we don't have Bus-lanes here so not really up with the legality of riding in them :Punk: o well i will push for some Bus-lanes here with our local council so i can ride in them :scooter: ..... see if i was in a vehicle in a foreign town with Bus-lanes i wouldn't have known to watch out for anything other than a Bus but now i know i can make sure i do lol..... thanks for that Crashe :yes:

LMAO i see someone gave me a wee red thingie is this site turning into a Tard Me spin off ...lol

[Scorpygirl]

As everybody has said. I was doing nothing illegal at all and the insurance company have agreed with this!! I will not lose my no claim bonus or have to pay excess either.


Here is the information for your edification:

"Using bus lanes
Key facts about using bus lanes:

Bikes use bus lanes too! Buses, cycles and motorcycles are all authorised users of bus lanes, so keep an eye out for them. If you are turning, merging or accessing a driveway when a bus lane is operating, you can use the bus lane for up to 50 metres. Auckland City enforces the correct use of bus lanes. If you drive in a bus lane when it's operating, for any reason other then needing to turn within 50 metres, you risk a $150 fine.

Driving, parking or stopping on the lanes is prohibited during the times they operate. If you are parked or stopped on a lane at the wrong time, you will be given a parking ticket. You can drive in bus priority lanes outside of their operational times.

Auckland City bus priority lanes can be used by the following vehicles only:
buses. (A bus is defined in the new Land Transport Rule as a passenger service vehicle with 10 or more seats, including the driver's seat. This excludes tourist and shuttle buses)
cycles
motorcycles, motor scooters, mopeds
traffic enforcement and emergency vehicles.
Bus lanes on motorways operate differently than local road bus lanes in that motorcycles and cycles cannot use them.
Taxis (cars or shuttles with nine seats or less) may not use the bus priority lanes.

If you receive a $150 fine for driving illegally in a bus lane, you can pay your fine online.

Learn the rules and you'll get where you need to go faster! Bus lanes work best when everyone keeps to the lanes they should be in."

I am actually getting quite sick of people saying I should not have been in the bus lane. when this is the by-law in Auckland City. :angry: Motobikes can't ride in the buslanes on the motorways cause they are covered by Transit NZ and they say it is illegal. I tried to stop but it was too close. Yes, I have learnt a very big lesson and I am not doing the blame thing.

I actually agree there needs to be more promotion about this. On the signs to signify a bus lane they just show a picture of a bus and no memtion of bikes, pushies etc. Maybe this needs to be considered as there is heaps of confusion. Even the cop that attended my accident didn't know if it was the law or another urban myth!!

[Dave-]

anyone know about canty?

the bus lanes down here are bus, taxi and a picture of a push bike...

you could argue that the bike icon included motorbikes, if anyone argued against it I'd point out that the icon doent look like a downhill mountain bike either...

[botb]

As per your comment about mis-information or lack of it ... not everyone lives in Auckland (thank god) so we have no clue about your by-laws or do i have any real need for them as i don't think i will be travelling there any time soon on me bike lol... yes education is the key the signage thing would clear up any issues i would say!!!thanks for the info glad you guys have a priviliged 50 metres right of way to turn into side streets makes sense in a more populated area alas i think Dunners will have to import some more refugee's or students to boost our entitlement to Bus-lanes :innocent:

[Scorpygirl]

LMAO i see someone gave me a wee red thingie is this site turning into a Tard Me spin off ...lol

It wasn't me that gave you the red rep thingie!!! :innocent: You will have to do a few more posts and then you get more details.

[botb]

Lol not bothered just found the green blingy thing on my profile.....:sunny:

[KLOWN]

Lol not bothered just found the green blingy thing on my profile.....:sunny:

It was me who red repped you. I forgot that you can't see who gave it. Green means people agree with you post red means they don't agree. I don't agree with your post that implied scorpygirl was in the wrong. I know you don't know the laws here up in auckland but if you don't know then don't comment. Don't let it bother you, like some people on this site, I get green and red rep just part and parcel of being part of the site. enjoy!

My bike has returned to her rightful home after a 2 month holiday at Haldanes. Not due to them but having to wait for parts. She looks magic!!! Just have to wait for a screen (on back order) and she will be back to her normal state before 16th March 2007. Yippee. Unfortunately my first ride on her will have to wait. Never mind, I will have something to look forward to. :yes: :scooter:
