My crashed bike

[paddy]

I am just imagining arriving on this scene without knowing what had happened. There is a wrecked bike, one severely damaged car and one with the windscreen smashed in. There's a dazed biker, a woman with a broken nose and blood all over her face trying to organise things, another woman saying "He came out of nowhere! It's not my fault!" And a shocked truck driver.

How long would it take you to work out what had happened and what to do next?!

I thought the funnier picture (if there can be a funny in a situation like this) was arriving on the scene. There's a neat round whole in a car window with a pair of motorbike boots sticking out of it. Inside there are two unconscious folk. A rider (belonging to the feet) and the driver.

That's really fantastic that she helped you out though. Especially given that she was injured too. That's awesome.

Shit! That really sucks, hope you get the lady and cream her on all the money you deserve.

Hope she realize she could have killed you. Don't give up on getting the money just do all it takes to get everything you can from this.

You want money for the bike, your gear, physical damage and the money you lost on not being able to work and if you get any permanent damage you shall hold her responsible for all future costs for that also!

cheers

Sorry about the bike, she was a beauty. Glad you are ok.

another woman saying "He came out of nowhere! It's not my fault!"

Don't forget "I didn't see him"!

I would hope that the silly U-Turn bitch gets charged with dangerous driving causing injury. Actually 2 charges of causing injury. This is a case of 'accidents happen because people are STUPID!"

On the 22nd September I saw your bike on the back of a towtruck/truck+trailer thing. I thought golly gosh, hope that guy is okay! I read your crash thread as well, epic man, glad you're relatively ok. Sorry about the bike though.

I'm just wondering why your bike was being moved around.

Hmmmm, this looks familiar... was heading down the GSR in Manukau last week...

[Forest]

No
I haven't heard a thing from the lady who caused the crash, not a peep.

Have been trying to track the other lady down but proving elusive. My bike wasn't insured....damn. So its up to me to try and screw her or her insurance for money.
Trying to get the right info from police has proved slow and frustrating, Officer in charge of case didn't write details onto system before going on 3 weeks leave etc. Lots of running around but hopefully will get there eventually.

I'm sorry to hear that you've been left to pick up the pieces by yourself.

There's a good chance that she is also uninsured. Could get messy.

Hay Weta sorry to see your baby so messed up...bloody U turners!!! Glad you came out alright tho

[Owl]

Bike is a bloody mess, but I'm glad you came out of it relatively ok.

I think you're very lucky Weta and should perhaps consider a name change to Cockroach. Those suckers are nearly impossible to kill also!

Best of luck recovering costs from the woman responsible!
