Red light runner took me out Fri...

[Crasherfromwayback]

Shop SV thou...minding my own business riding down Cambridge Tce back to the shop. Turkey runs the red and it's all I can do not to 'T' Bone him. Looked like he was gonna continue down Cambridge Tce...so I had an escape route to his left. All good untill he then swerved suddenly to go down the side St by Tony's tyres!!!

Had the back wheel off the deck...and finally had to put the thing down. Missed him by a couple of inches. Bad enough, but he then did a runner. The SV wouldn't restart because of the tip over switch, so I thought the fucker would get away. I nabbed a guy on the side of the road that saw it all, got his cell phone number, then rushed back to work on foot. Grabbed a Fatboy that was out on the street ready to go and went looking for this 'chap'.

Surprise surprise...he'd hidden his car under Moore Wilsons. SPRUNG. Bet he didn't think I'd come looking for him let alone find him. Left a nice note under his wiper saying he had an hour to get hold of me or I'd contact the police...he came into the shop pleading ignorance...and his lack of *Engrish* meant he didn't understand what I was saying. So I drew him a nice wee diagram of what happened...and he now understands. Didn't cough up for the damage to the bike though...so know the police are involved.

Sorted.

You and some of the boys didnt take him out the back and work him over a bit when he was in the shop? Disappointing.

[MsKABC]

Good for you cfwb, well handled. Glad you are ok. I'm with you on the convenient 'my english not so good' ploy - I used to "teach" international students :nono:

[Big Dave]

Good you is an expert.
The plice should have been involved from the get go. No mercy. No consideration. Book 'em Danno.

[Dean]

in all crashes its not the cars fault its the riders fault.so many riders whine and bicth saying this car reversed out of his driveway and this and that when really where you aware of your surroundings , where you doing mirror checks etc, what action did you take.land and transport and newzealand cant be fucked in changing the car licences making them be aware of bikes and test them on checking for motorcycles.

[RantyDave]

Didn't cough up for the damage to the bike though...so know the police are involved.
Fucking idiot. You offer a "get out of jail, free!" (or, at least, numerous grands) and he says no? Shall we start with "leaving the scene" and work outwards from there?

He's lucky not to find himself in the harbour with a GN250 attached to his ankles.

Yep...Sirry man. I've contaced the witness since...and he's happy to appear in court and had an excellent view of it all!

Good work finding him

[Pedrostt500]

I say lets crush the fuckkers car then he speak better Englanderish

[Number One]

Shit glad you're ok man! :sunny:

[Crasherfromwayback]

.so many riders whine and bicth saying this car reversed out of his driveway and this and that when really where you aware of your surroundings , where you doing mirror checks etc, what action did you take..

I'm pretty aware of my surroundings when I ride mate. No need for mirror checks in this instance. The fucker pulled straight out in front of me with about 20 ft between us. If I may say so...most people would've collected him.

That's because Land and Transport (?) is full of Dumb and Arse idiots like you.

[adam1194]

I have a suitcase you can borrow, put him in it and throw him off the harbour bridge????
Its what we did with the last guy...

fair enough it was the cars fault, did you hear that all you other people i take back my word it was the cars fault in this instance so dont have a cry :crybaby::calm:
oh and why didnt you beat up the guy , stuff taking him to court you can do more damage to him by having a go at him.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Yes I could've done a fair bit of damage to him mate...but that ain't gonna fix the shop bike, and I can't really be arsed with an assult charge.

[wbks]

Beating people up is a little more serious outside the school in adult years, YB, some people don't fancy paying big fines and spending nights in holding cells to show how tough they are. Maybe you should have read the post before making such a dumb response you moron. Don't try and say anyone else in this thread is doing something wrong

[Okey Dokey]

Glad that you are okay, cfwb.

Good work catching the crummy runner.

[Dean]

Beating people up is a little more serious outside the school, YB, some people don't fancy paying big fines and spending nights in holding cells because they feel the need to show how tough they are. Maybe you should have read the post before making such a dumb response you moron. Don't try and say anyone else in this thread is doing something wrong

who says the cops will get involved, who says the cager would snicth

[wbks]

Maybe the passers by, or the fact that the fight would be in a bike shop would prompt a bit of a public response... "Snitch"

[zeocen]

God it's like reading the logic of Skidmark and Carver's inbred offspring.

[wbks]

Not me I hope?

[Fatjim]

He's lucky not to find himself in the harbour with a GN250 attached to his ankles.

Hey, they're starting to appreciate in value. Better to use a 900ss.



oh and why didnt you beat up the guy , stuff taking him to court you can do more damage to him by having a go at him.

You've never met crasher have you?


You and some of the boys didnt take him out the back and work him over a bit when he was in the shop? Disappointing.

Hey, who needs customers eh pete when you've can work over cagers. lol

[zeocen]

Not me I hope?

Nono, I can understand you.
As far as I know, you keep your shirt on, also.

[wbks]

haha Sure. Is crasher a bit of a kiwi guvnah?

[skidMark]

Difference between a Pigeon and a Mountain Goat?


I dunno ive only ever nailed a goat....

So i spose the difference is the pidgeon takes less stuffing?

[Crasherfromwayback]

haha Sure. Is crasher a bit of a kiwi guvnah?

Nah...he's a skinny white boy that did all of his fighting at Naenae College way back when.

[Dean]

im sorry
wbks and others for anoying you by saying he should of beat up the cager,
there problem resolved
peace

[wbks]

Combined with racing with Bruce Anstey he sounds like a bit of a character. Can he top it off with leaving the bike for the track? I mean he's obviously not fit for the road. What was he thinking cutting it so close to that gentleman that was turning in front of him? Has he no respect?!

[Storm]

No mercy. No consideration. Book 'em Danno.

What 'e said. Throw the biggest book you can at him

[Mully]

oh and why didnt you beat up the guy.

As long as he took his shirt off first, huh?

CFWB, nice avoidance mate. Bikes can be fixes easier that bodies.

[Big Dave]

A pigeon mucks 'round fountains.

[sunhuntin]

Dave

wtf? a gn250? they aint heavy enough! :wari:

nice avoid there, crasher. hope the cops give him a nice lesson.

[DingoZ]

Shoulda held him down and poured a cup of shop coffee down his throat Pete, that woulda fixed the fucker. Woulda paid up straight away...:blink:

p/t


Seriously though, glad your okay...

[Dean]

As long as he took his shirt off first, huh?

CFWB, nice avoidance mate. Bikes can be fixes easier that bodies.

ha ha very funny<_< , lets not go there about the shirt off technique it will just lead to me arguing with you guys again.and to you all stop bringin up the shirt off technique your only doing it to piss me of so give it a break will ya its getting really annoying:Offtopic:

[wbks]

You always make a really stupid comment on here, and then make an apology for it telling people to let it go, and then do the whole thing over again later in the week. Maybe you should save yourself some trouble and make up a generic template you can just copy and paste for next time

Do you type with your feet??

[Mom]

No I dont think he does mate, mind you I dont think he actually engages his brain either before he posts.

[gijoe1313]

Jeez CFWB, glad to hear it wasn't anything more serious! :sweatdrop Nice detective work in locating said ride. Ah well, I guess it will just be a matter of time to try and resolve it all ... if the blardy idjit doesn't up and go!

[ElCoyote]

Nah...he's a skinny white boy that did all of his fighting at Naenae College way back when.

Should have taken Dr. Death with you or is he past wrestling? :sunny:

[chanceyy]

geezzzz Pete that sounded to close for comfort to being more serious .. damn good skills there & glad your ok :) excellent detective skills too :)

[EJK]

Wow talk about "Bitter Sweet" Birthday gift... But good on ya for catching him! Wise decision that you didn't smash his windshield. Heh, I would have!

[McJim]

Glad you're alright. Why do people run red lights at all? this baffles me - it's not like stopping is optional or anything...morons.

[Clivoris]

Just goes to show that you shoulda been on the shop DRZ and wheelied over the fucker. You gonna start dressing up like Dog the bounty hunter now? Sounds like you got some natural talent in that direction.

[riffer]

Nice work Pete. :yes:

Nail that fucker to the wall.

[Pickle]

Hey Pete go home & have a couple of Steinies to calm the nerves

[jaymzw]

No I dont think he does mate, mind you I dont think he actually engages his brain either before he posts.

I hope you ride a lot better than you type (youngbiker16)

Simply adding a comment to a thread for the sake of it (i feel you do this at times) can occasionally make a thread better. However "why didnt you just smash him" doesnt really cut it.

Try using a little p-u-n-c-t-u-a-t-i-o-n. Esp. paragraphing eh bro.

Jaymz :whistle:

Sorry mate how long you been riding? ..... lol


FAIL

Keep riding that GN buddy and see if your perfect.

[sunhuntin]

why not have a think on why this is?

ladies and gents, i think weve got a new skidmark! :whistle:

[Dean]

I was taught this by a full licenced rider who has been riding for 30 years, he told me that most of the time its the riders fault.If riders look back on there near misses or crashes they can ask themselves what did they do to avoid the situation,where they checking there mirrors(headchecks),and what not.
Look i dont want any more fighting only postive comments

[Insanity_rules]

Nah...he's a skinny white boy that did all of his fighting at Naenae College way back when.

You and me both Crash, Naenae College skinny white boys represent. What years were you there? Glad your reflexes are sharp and it wasn't an injured biker thread. Must have been a numpty driver day today as I saw two pull in front type accidents, one with a creamed scroter (and rider) on Taranaki st and the other with a T-boned car in Cuba St.

[Dean]

If Skidmark were a Jedi Knight then you'd be his Padawan.


why not have a think on why this is?

ladies and gents, i think weve got a new skidmark! :whistle:

scracha and sunhuntin i actually want to thank you for saying that everyone said i will never come close to skidmark in shit posting but now i am i knew it i am skidmarks rising new padawan

hahahhaha :clap: ok ok ill go to bed soon sir, i dont like you attitude however sir , yes i have school tomorrow master

[MaxB]

CFWB good save mate, any day above ground is a good day.

[Marmoot]

Left a nice note under his wiper saying he had an hour to get hold of me or I'd contact the police...he came into the shop pleading ignorance...and his lack of *Engrish* meant he didn't understand what I was saying. So I drew him a nice wee diagram of what happened...and he now understands. Didn't cough up for the damage to the bike though...so know the police are involved.

You're saying if he pays you money you'll let him go despite his crime? And he's gonna be free to hurt someone else? Wouldn't that mean a perversion of justice?

[gtr boy]

give the fuka some after hours justice.
:whistle::whistle:

[Gareth51]

Well done Pete

[James Deuce]

You're saying if he pays you money you'll let him go despite his crime? And he's gonna be free to hurt someone else? Wouldn't that mean a perversion of justice?

He will be free to hurt someone else. It's a total miracle if someone involved in a traffic incident in NZ ends up incarcerated.

The dude will have a semi-plausible excuse by the time it gets to court, the judge will pat him on the head and the Scooter Centre's insurers will get paid 7.32c per month until Doomsday.

At least CFWB will get the "satisfaction" of humiliating the dude a little, if the red light running dweeb's natural arrogance hasn't already overridden his memory completely and made the whole thing some hooligan motorcyclist's fault.

I blame Red Bull.

[howdamnhard]

Glad your okay , well done for catching the bugger.:clap:

[Blackshear]

Haven't read the in between posts, but.

Imagine what would've happened had you not missed him.
This is attempted murder (Albeit loosely, but you understand my point).
It doesn't matter if someone sees it as harsh, this kinda of shit will just not stand. I would fight this fucker to the grave, if another runner didn't push me in first.

[retro asian]

Good luck with court and all. Sounds like he might try a few things to get out of it...

[Bloody Mad Woman (BMW)]

Relieved to hear you are ok - quick thinking and action got the results - good on ya.

[Crasherfromwayback]

You're saying if he pays you money you'll let him go despite his crime? And he's gonna be free to hurt someone else? Wouldn't that mean a perversion of justice?

Nope. I'm saying that had he fronted like a man and paid for the damage to the bike (instead of me having to use our insurance)...I may well have left out the "doing a runner from the scene of the accident" bit. But now I've filled that bit out in capital letters on the complaint sheet.

The witness is only too happy to repeat that bit too.

And thanks all for your kind wishes...didn't even loose any skin...all good!

Cheers!!!

Pete

[Crasherfromwayback]

You and me both Crash, Naenae College skinny white boys represent. What years were you there?

God knows mate...far too long ago now to even remember. Probably 79-83ish.

Used to ride my RM400 to school on the odd occaison. That is till I did a race start on the cricket pitch while they were practising, as I thought the 1st 11 cricket boys were homos...was best left at home after that.:baby:

[ital916]

im sorry
wbks and others for anoying you by saying he should of beat up the cager,
there problem resolved
peace

one thing youll learn on kb is every stupid thing you say is recorded and will be brought back up to haunt you. Dont say sorry for saying beat up the cager, if it is your opinion stick to it, the others dont have to like it though and like them I will have to agree that violence is not the solution. Though beating english into him one letter at a time would have been nice, revenge does not equal justice in this case. The police are involved, witnesses are at hand and I applaud crasher for his cool headed thinking in this situation.

[portokiwi]

The main thing is that you were ok. Bikes can be replaced or fixed.
Great to see you cought the prat. Well done.

[Grizzo]

Dirty rotten scumbag! Good on you for tracking him down!!!

[Matt]

Nice one Pete ; sure ACC will be happy with your fast reactions! you may star in another DVD yet ;)

[roogazza]

Pete, should've put him in "Doctor Deaths" office for a few minutes ! Gaz.

[nudemetalz]

Well done for avoiding the grim-reaper's big turning-wheel, Pete.
Ever noticed on that advert that its a Jag XJ that T-bones....

[Owl]

Yep, well done Crasher!:2thumbsup

Good on ya for keeping your cool and your shirt on!:laugh:

[Crasherfromwayback]

Hehe...trust me mate...if I had've been in my Jag I would've made sure I ran over the top of him!

[HenryDorsetCase]

So, there was 20 feet between you and him when he pulled out? That is like 6 or so metres, right? And you're a rider of above average skill. and you were cruising back to work in a 50kph limit, right? so going around 50 to not more than 60kph, right?

How come you couldn't stop in 2m? According to some you could have stopped in one third of the distance available, not need to get anyone (Pleece, Mr ESOL, witness involved).


Or am i missing something?







;)

[elevenhundred]

What 'e said. Throw the biggest book you can at him

Sounds like it might need to be an english dictionary. Oh and a copy of the Road Code

[Muppet]

in all crashes its not the cars fault its the riders fault.so many riders whine and bicth saying this car reversed out of his driveway and this and that when really where you aware of your surroundings , where you doing mirror checks etc, what action did you take.land and transport and newzealand cant be fucked in changing the car licences making them be aware of bikes and test them on checking for motorcycles.

Not long before me. I used to ride my cb250 to school, My stunt was the massive burn out on the footpath in front of the front doors/ hall entrance. I was asked not to take my bike to school again so I upset the hockey team by doing a donut in the middle of their practice.

So I was politely asked to leave. (read: told to f#ck off)

I'd use that Fatboy, you know it'll take the barstard to the bottom and Keep him there.
Hope this has been resolved by now.

[discodan]

I had this happen to me except that I actually got T-boned and was lucky to be alive afterwards.

Took about a year and a half to go to court (after harrassing the cops for months), went back down to welly for the hearing and the prick decides that he is guilty while we are waiting outside the court.

I then rode home on my partially repaired motorbike while I saw him having a laugh with the cops giving him a lift home.

He then got 6 months disqualified and started paying me $25 a week for the damage to my bike.

I doubt the police have done anything about this...

[pritch]

Pssst. Look at the thread start date.

Ahhh I got caught too. Bloody funny though and it seems I missed it first time around.

Some people will get bling from the way back stack...
