This was a first for me.

Was heading towards a red light in town when a young lady runs full speed in front of a stopped car, straight into the front left side of my bike. Her handbag swings around whacking me in the leg.

I managed to stay upright and stop saying the 'S' word (Shit) while she bounced off the bike saying another 'S' word (sorry) and running away. Bit of a shock to the system, it all happened so fast. Didn't even get a chance to see if she was hot or not.

Got home and looked for damage, fortunately there was none.

What have I learned from this experience?
I need a louder exhaust!

Pedestrians miss everything. I once had a daft *itch run into the side of my bright green starlet and I was travelling around 50kph. Hate to think what would've happened if she had been a few seconds earlier :sick:

nice aim for not seeing her running between those cars ... riding in Welly gives me the shits the way they behave on the footpaths.

Pedestrians are terrible over here...they walk out and just look at you, often do not look either..guess they just parked their cage and still in cage mode...............

You really have to keep your wits about ya mate, and try to see if she`s hot , Not that you would be interested would ya mate because Mrs Kendog will be reading this.

I reckon you need to be going a tad quicker. Boll the biarch and that might be the only way she learns not to do it again. :shit:

Yeh they just run out at you sometimes like lambs to the slaughter!
I hit a small child going round a corner on my mountain bike once,
she wouldn't go to school by herself after that!
I have heard they look wicked going up and over the hood on your tintop.

Ah Kendog, just as well you weren't riding a Hornet at the time, or you could've really stung her! :whistle:

And this is just your way of trying to hook up another date by using a bike to bash a girly instead of a club? The ol'caveman routine is hard to shed!

Now if I'd been there I could've said "Oi, stop trying to hit on my husband'. Ok, it's lame I know, but I'm sick.:mellow:

I guess it being Wellytown she'd be dressed in drone black and worrying either about the media or the height of the NZ $. Good thing there was no damage. Cheers :weird:

I'm sure if Mrs Kendog wasn't on this forum you would have been a little more honest and your title would have read "I hit on a pedestrian". Let me guess, she was blonde, office mini skirt and black stockings and you spotted her 50m out from the lights ..........

Nothing wrong with Volvos! All three Volvos that I've owned have gone really well in the Demo Derbies that I entered them into!

Just shows to go you that we are invisible to car drivers as well as pedestrians........I once clipped a pedestrian, he was old and simply stepped out in front of me, I actually saw him between 2 parked cars and was aware he was there, he was looking both ways to cross the road. Could not actually believe he stepped out on top of me! as I am certain he "looked at me" Whatever, he hit me, I was going really slowly (anticipating as you do) did not fall off, wobbled to a stop and looked back. He was ok. I did say something along the lines of "you need to look before you step into traffic" He had some skin off his hand. He said he was fine. I did what ever I had to do and then thinking about the injury accident reporting thing, went to the local cop shop to report my accident. The cop there was very sympathetic, if memory serves he may even have sniggered. Told me he would be in touch if there was a complaint made....seems I am ok as this was better than 20 years ago.

You need to hang out in bars with the All Blacks more often. Handbag slapping is a national sport now. Maybe she was just in training?


Kendog, you really missed all the important details like, was it a nice handbag? was she a cutie. Did she leave nipple indents in your screen?
