Biker down. Yep I just got bowled...

[Phreak]

Ummm gee. Thanks. Now piss off. Retard.
(Sorry, still upset...)

[Edbear]

RING THE POLICE. Or go and see them tomorrow.

As a rule, the first report tends to get more attention.

Heal up quick.

Shit dude, that farking sucks......

24 hours ago we were beering it up in Taupo and having a great giggle, I'm so sorry to hear this mate, really am.

Ok, appreciate you are wound up, totally understand, but two things:

1 - report it to the police as soon as you can, and
2 - get yourself checked out sharpish like. Honestly mate, get this done, believe me its worth doing.

Mate, you got my number, if you need anything let me know. Main thing is though you get the all clear and then we can get to work on the bike stuff.

Take care mate

Hahahahahaha... Ouch... Hehehehe... Ouch... Yep, going to see the doctor tomorrow, missus is taking me.

There you go, and I didn't have to say anything...

Your poor little bike

Very pleased to hear you are not too banged up yourself. Get yourself some arnica cream for the bruises you are bound to have.

Fancy getting all the way home and then have this happen. We are finally home! Absolutely shagged out.

Bet you're tired as well....

Here you go dude, this will wiggle yer wotsits...

By a fellow biker. Was riding to Kawerau to do the Mountain to the Sea ride with a group from Tauranga, stopped at the stop sign where the road from Matata meets the Kawerau (Rotorua to Whakatane road) and the rider folowing me thought I'd gone through the stop without stopping and hit me on my right hand side, lucky he was only doing 10 or 15 km/hr.

He and his pillion went over onto their right side, I went over onto my left side, both the other rider and I had our legs caught under our bikes and mine was pissing fuel. Lucky we are all unhurt, my bike was undamaged. But his had the gear selector lever twisted up and turned 90 degrees round and left hand foot peg twisted back (where they hit my boot) and his foot brake lever bent up and out of line (where his bike hit the ground). We were able to bend everything back into approximately the correct shape so he could ride on.

Not as serious as your smash, Phreak. But it brought home to me just how careful we have to be and, even if we are, how our safety isn't always entirely in our own hands.

Hope you get better as fast as possible Phreak. And back onto your next bike.

Might sound like strange advice but......

........my advice is beat yourself up over it. It sounds like a totally avoidable accident.

same thing happened to me many years ago, riding a kawasaki Z1r up a 50k road at at least 80ks, guy pulls out in a hr holden, i go to blast past and he turns right in front of me into a side road, i turned into superman and flew over the car, the bike was banged up to the tune of around a grand (1982 dollars) the back guard of his car was punched in, he didnt have a licence and the car had no rego /wof and i was speeding so we decided to call it even and fucked off before the cops turned up. I learned my lesson that day

Here you go dude, this will wiggle yer wotsits...

You guys need a pair of these...

[Katman]

You guys need a pair of these...

They're the ones the Braille Society give out, aren't they?

[ynot slow]

Bugger mate,at least you're ok,whose fault will be debateable,that's for insurance turkeys.

And some guys have the idea any bins by bikers are their(riders)fault,some are,but many are bloody other road users not watching traffic flows,oil spilt,loose chip,cars on wrong side of road(3 times on weekend to us,cars in front each time thank christ).

[Edbear]

They're the ones the Braille Society give out, aren't they?

Shhhh....

[Fatt Max]

You guys need a pair of these...

That reminds me, must call the welder tomorrow and get my drains done

[Katman]

Ummm gee. Thanks. Now piss off. Retard.

That's ok, you're allowed to be bitter.

Just ask yourself though - who really is the retard here?

[Edbear]

That reminds me, must call the welder tomorrow and get my drains done

[Fatt Max]
