Thanks, thinking of getting speed triple for my second bike...........when the recession finally ends! Ya just got love the sound of the triple.

I love this bike, I kinda ended up with mine by accident. I rode it while they were fixing my Rocket, and ended up keeping it lol.
I took the cans to my friend who is a sheet metalist and he made them sound gooderer. Man she sings like a a soprano especially through the rev ranges at the 5k plus.....
As a second bike, its perfect, light, nimble, versatile and fast. Great wheelie bike, reminds me of my trail bike days lol, with mega horse power.....

Great value...... If a cager don't sort you out that is lol........

I am thinkin a thunderbird big twin for my second bike.

...Subaru station wagon...

There was your first clue...

[Katman]

It's strange how near misses seem to follow some people around.

[MSTRS:Me]

...and the item you are trying to locate turns out to be in the last place you look...

Love the fact that the stupid fuck tries to blame you, and your bike for having 2 headlights, whilst removing all responsibility from himself.

Some people deserve a kick up the arse for being so desperate to blame their problems on others. I honestly would have struggled to maintain composure in that sort of situation and if I received that kind of response from someone who was clearly in the wrong, I would have struggled to refrain from physical violence.

I am glad to see you got an apology though.

What do you expect when this is the advice that insurance companies give: "Do not admit any liability to anyone at the scene of an accident, even if you think you're at fault."

Yeah great second bike.....the arrow low mount really hits the right notes above 5k too.
Very lucky miss. I T boned a brand new austin allegro with my XT500 years ago for the same reason..driver looked at me then pulled out.

Lucky it was wet as you would probably have been pulling one of your iresponsible wheelies exiting that corner. then where would you have gone

There was your first clue...

Why's that? Are the drivers of these particular vehicles worse up your way?

Anedotal evidence indicates that a vehicle being poorly operated is most likely to be an SUV or Subaru.
Even worse if the driver is wearing a hat...

Ride with a harpoon I say.

Ah the 'phone always rings when I'm in the shower' syndrome.

This. Harpoons solve everything.

firstly, I am glad that you are ok,
secondly driver brought up a good point, having a dual headlight can be confusing specially in low visibility.

by knowing that be more careful on your dual-light bike.

Up until recently (I think) running lights, in the sense of white, forward-facing lights on stalks ala Harley tourers, were not legal for use in NZ. This was because of the possibility that they could be mistaken for a car that was further away.
