    Holy sh%%t riding moment!

    Today i have had my first Holy sh%t riding moment sitting at viponds lights to turn into whangaparaoa road, bored as hell, no cars around, the lights arent picking up my weight. Next second i hear a huge crash and bang behind me, look back and theres a white ford mondeo within a inch of me! A lady drove out of her driveway and got t boned by a work ute going into viponds. When she is stationary i was in shock thinking HOLY SH%T!! I hop of my zeal go to open her door, she speeds off, i walk over to the bloke in the work ute and point if i should chase her down. I felt like a true hero, but unfortunately didnt catch her car/numberplate, she had a huge lead must of ducked down some side street or turned into red beach at the lights. I rode back to see the bloke and he was gone, but pull over to the side of the road and pick up broken glass. I want more of these moments!!! Felt like i was in some sort of Action movie and for once i was the good guy.
    And to the lady driving the white ford mondeo

    You got a taste of adrenalin. It's addictive. Try sky diving next.

    May you never have a moment like that again.

    Go and tell the local police what happened and leave your name and phone number.

    You are not some kind of action hero here. You dont go chasing down the "bad guy" on your trusty 250. You thank your stars that it was not you that got t-boned and move on.

    Good on you for cleaning up the glass though.

    You should have chased the offender and smashed a few windows and dented a few panels on her car.

    What a bitch, how could you just do a runner?

    I got a similar good samiritan moment on friday though less dramatic...

    Riding to uni one street away from my home, a truck swings onto the road infront of me about 100m away. I see his back door swing wide open and as he accellerates, all of the shit in his truck falls out and spreads over the road.
    I swerve my way through it all, (easily visible so left it there) and chased the guy down beeping my little fart of a horn at him, which is just useless. so I, seeing the road clear infront of me, get onto the other side of the road and pull up next to him and make him pull over.
    The guy still has no idea whats happening so i tell him and he just sticks it into gear to turn around and pick it up. I have to yell at him to stop again as the rear of the truck is still open and has more stuff in it...

    Made my boring commute exciting enough.

    A fella I rode with was run off the road - I did a U-turn and chased the wanker, he came back to the scene and we made him feel real bad. His insurance gonna pay for new jacket, helmet and fix up the Aprillia - so yeah, it pays to get these suckers

    Another wtf moment i had a while ago, around midnight riding into shakespeare beach/reserve car park and finding a young couple in the back of a hatchback doing you know what.

    Anyways please share your riding wtf moments, introduce yourself to the adrenalin anonymous group lol.

    Not quite a fully commited and cranked over in a corner and spotting gravel on your ride line OS moment.....but it sure woke you up.....

    The lady coming out of her driveway should not be to hard to track down....

    Earlyer this week I did a U-Turn to get a bus's number plate because he smashed into the back of a white parked stationwagon and did not stop or leave details etc..

    The turd was speeding 65km/hr in a bus down side streets tooo....

    Left number plate details and police incident record under the wagons wiper and I got a phone call later that day of thanks, so that was kinda cool.

    Stupid "GO" bus company. This is the 2nd time I have seen careless driving from the bus's causing damage.
