Sewing machine to thumper in one swift "I just didn't see you"

Ahhhh shit bro.. that sucks.
Was wondering where you had been hiding. The guy that did it to me got a $150 fine for failing to give way while turning right... doesn't help pay for the month of chiro and doctors visits for headaches and back pain... On second though I probably should have taken the ambo's advice and gone for a taxi ride to the hospital but they still wacked me with a $70 call out fee that I gotta still pay.... would hate to think what it would be if I had taken them up on thier offer.....

I probably would have jumped off my bike and tried to clear the roof If I had been by myself but with the missus on the back I just tried to scrub off as much speed as possible and then put myself between her and said muppets car... probably only hit doing about 30km but I did bounce back a far way hahahaha

you gonna be bike shoppin again soon??

Bad luck glad your going to be OK
Just a thought
Is the ambulance fee compulsory? I thought not and shouldnt ACC cover that?
If I am wrong (does happen) send the bill to the drver that caused the accident

According to the letter recieved the ridiculous amount of ACC I pay as part of my rego doesn't cover the entire cost of the call out even though it was an accident and this is why I get stung with the $70..
Yes I should give it to the driver concerned but that is just way to much effort..

As for the pillion seat thingy I have it at home... cowl clips off seat clips on.

Ahh the official announcement!

Guys - keep in your mind as part of defensive riding/driving that the situations described above often result in accidents. Anywhere there is a significant speed differential between multiple lanes in the same direction, you need to expect shite to go wrong.
Save yourself!

Sucks for both of you (hopefully everything is paid out ok). But look out for yourself, no-one else is going to!

Yes, +1.
Both of your bins could have been easily avoided

New bike IS NICE Jonno

hahaha no it couldn't I was doing about 45 and was watching the line of cars for just such an event. The turning car was hidden by a van from my sight and the turning car also turned at pace rather than slowly going through to check if it was clear. If he had stuck his nose through and looked he would have seen me and I would have been able to go round the front of him instead of having a car suddenly appear 2m in front of me....

I'll make sure them tomatoes are rotten before throwing them at ya...

Well at the moment it's a bit average but with a little time and some TLC she may just become a very sexy weapon....

What the hell are you meant to do in this country ride safe? This is about the 6th time Ive been off 4 have been caused by other idiots on the road (can you believe one was a hit and run and the other by someone who was drunk, no license, warrant, rego and insurance)

Simple, dont ride. 80% of motorists in this country have no fuckin idea what they are doing. After being seriously hit by an asain driver who failed to give way and didnt even know what hed done wrong (resulted in broken femur in 3 places and almost loss of my leg)
I have given up riding on the roads. Ill stick to stunting off the streets where if i get hurt it will only ever be my own fault.

...... I thought i'd see what headbutting a car door felt like.... I wouldn't recommend it.....

that will learn you for getting a sensible hair cut.

Hope it doesn't do what yours did.... but it does seem to have oil leaking problems hahaha...
yip and this one definately sounds like a tractor.... Although I really want to convert it to the twin pipe akro system, not sure it's worth the 2k and I don't really like the piping so might see about making a custom one... but that is for future plans

As far as the ambo bill goes, if you are transported, ACC pay the bill, if you are treated, advised transport by the trained medical professionals and choose to turn that advisement down, then you do get a bill. For the guy who was transported to the A&E, no you will not get a bill for either trips, the first is ACC covered, the second is also ACC covered.
