I was riding wellys sluttiest A100 home from work yesterday and got hit by a car.
This bike had survived being owned and THRASHED by some of the wellington regions craziest riders, including mikey and Drew, and for a moment I thought I was gonna be sore and the bike had finally met its match in a Cage that failed to give way.
Not a chance, Im sweet and the bike got a bent plate and a wee scratch or two, but the plate absolutley NAILED the new paint on the car the hit me!
The indicator that got scraped didn't even brake and the thing was still going Quack Quack as I rode out the impact onto the footpath.
FUCKEN A!

AND it still managed a pretty good (almost highside) skid last night at the pedestrian crossing! I really thought I was gonna crash it for the 2nd time that day!
I was SO glad that you were OK! That lil bike is awesome, even I (the mighty GN destroyer) has crashed it into a car and it lives! :D
Hopefully the old lady might look next time! *tui*

The truth is that the mighty A is Chuck Norris in metal. Only possible explanation.

The legend continues.
However the real question remains, will the mighty A survive the grueling compitive world of bucket racing. Or Will it fall to bits as it rides into the distance.
Until next time.
Damn it why in the world did i deny the ride i was offered on this legendary bike just days ago :(?

Damn little old ladies......
One drove straight thru a Give Way last night and clipped my wife driving our car before T boning another guy going the other way. Ours was the only one not written off, but will need some repairs (No-one injured,fortunately)

Why the hell not? At least she won't have time to claim on her insurance and nudge my premium up.

TRYING to race the A..... He was pwned! Such a funny sight to see a dude on an A100 in full leathers and boots crusing along with a noob on a VTR250 trying his best......

Don't want to be unsypathetic but that was more like my take.
At least she wouldn't knock any more bikers off their stride.
(Or on their strides?)

I thought you got angry at him for being dangerous? Racing on the road is dangerous isn't it?

He was riding like a dick to try and keep up with us, which is why I backed off and watch it. And YES racing on the road IS dangerous. Im not to sure how many times we need to tell you before someone gets hurt! *sigh*
On a side note, he was riding really well after I had that "word" to him. Glad to see some people get it! :slap:

I'll not deny that.

An accident is also distinct from negligent action. Poor judgement doesn't absolve the actor of the consqeuences of their actions.
[Seems I can't deny sounding like a pompous ass, in addition to being a meanie.]

Me? I don't race on the road, Koba passed me the other night as well as a swarm of other bikes as I was indicating to pass myself.
Haha, he needed someone to set him straight, especially a lady. Well done :2thumbsup

Or its the only thing Chuck couldnt break, so in disgust he sent it to the other side of the world so as not to have to be reminded of his one failure
