A really nice TLR1000R...

Shit that stories sad, I can relate to it - I'm forever stuck in the mirror with the dicks up here, I think keeping the eye on the road is the best idea from now on, poor bloke - hope he doesnt blame himself for ever, and the chick doesnt blame the dude - wasnt his fault

[vifferman]

Thats fucken rude, i feel for the rider, crashing with a passenger is about my worst fear, even if it wasn't my fault, i'd still hate to deal with something like that.

Yeah, me too. Worst thing about riding with my wife on the back is I'm always worried about crashing, and this takes away a lot of the enjoyment of sharing biking with her. Doesn't help that it's that much harder riding with the extra weight / less manoeuverability, so we're actually more likely to crash, even though I ride much more carefully.

Main thing is they walked away. Feel sad for the fact that his female pillion was a first time passenger, and will probably never get on a bike again, which truely sucks!. It's an awesome past time.

You'd want to get hold of that arsehole in the car and give him a beating, hope the prick feels bad for what he done!.

Onwards and upwards.........

That was a lucky escape, very good to hear they didn;t end up in hospital.
What we wouldn't do if we caught that cage though......

..that cock arse cager that was tailgating... rides over bits of the smashed bike that are now scattered across the road - swerves to avoide the rider sliding down the road... changes down and gear and drives off.... leaving both people on the side of the road.

Too bad if they were bleeding to death - the fucking cager didnt even stop to check if they were alright.

Anyway, the riders been beating himself up abit - hes just so glad the girl was ok - other than bruises etc - and yeah, he just hates the fact that he let that dumb arse cager steal his attention for the second too long....

Happens to the best of us though...

Hope they reported it to the police. Leaving the scene of an accident. Failing to render assistance. And if the cage hit bits of bike, then he's a party to the accident, so probably failing to report an accident to a police officer within 24 hours.

Do for a start, thn throw in the tailgating.

Then we all go visit him.

That was definately one nice TL!!! Was that TL a lower hutt based bike?
I saw a really mint yellow one pull in at the Lower Hutt blockbuster store about 4 months ago.

The owner may be interested to know about the black TLR i saw outside holeshot today, if he wants to get back on one after that experience

[HDTboy]

That black one has been there for months and months. they want waaay to much for it as usual.. its only a TLR.. but black.. the call it a special edition.

My bad, saw it today while driving down BP road, and thought about this thread

that story bring a tear to my eye
such a nice bike, and to know that the owner loved it, its like loosing a realy good friend, who is always there for you, or an extension of oneself.
