I wonder if ACC counts this as a motorcycle accident

[miloking]

So whats your point??

Whats my point? ...that motorcycles have accidents regardless of a who is the rider...so cops checking my WOF/rego in a name of safety is bollocks!

What a stupid thing to say. They're checking WOF for YOUR safety, not their own. Rego is a different matter though. Having your bike in a roadworthy condition (i.e. to WOF standard) will not prevent a crash, but it will prevent a crash that is caused by something badly wrong with your bike.

Hope he is OK, Like 'em or not he is a biker and he has had a spill so I hope he was able to walk away from it.

(ps. Can I get off the ticket now?)

Get a new drum to bang on.
next it will become a speed doesn't kill so i shouldn't get a ticket thread.

These points have gone around circle for so long it has become very boring.
At least i gives the waving ones a rest.

Now where is that large funny hat thread gone.

How interesting. Sounds like even if the cops get taken out by cagers it's still reported as the motorcycle collided with the car.

I wonder how the media would report a car driving into a stationary motorcycle?

Like this: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/...n6333676.shtml

Three people were killed Thursday afternoon and six others critically injured when several motorcycles collided with a truck hauling garbage on the Carefree Highway in north Phoenix...

(skip to bottom of article)

...Phoenix Fire Department spokesman Jonathan Jacobs told KNXV-TV in Phoenix that witnesses reported that several motorcycle riders were stopped at a light when they were struck from behind by a sanitation truck and dragged 50 to 75 yards...

That's a mighty good thread.

[BoristheBiter]

That's a mighty good thread.

much to good for PD
All old topic threads should become threads of funny hats.

Euphemism of the day
'traffic patrol officer fell off his motorbike after a collision with a car'

I wonder what advice Katman would have for him.

This cop should start a thread about how he binned his bike, ya know so we get the full story.

I wonder what advice Katman would have for him.

All the sirens and flashing lights in the world will never be as much use to you as open eyes will.

Man up and stop being a pussy?
Training wheels?
Get a smaller ego - that one is clearly unbalanced?

The best bacon is fried bacon?

[yungatart]

This is clearly a workplace accident.

I hope ACC payments for this chap come out of the correct account rather than the motor pool a/c.

Are OSH involved yet?


All joking aside, I hope the guy is ok.

[Luckylegs]

I wonder if the person chasing him, pulled out of pursuit just moments before

...Cos they always crash just after that


Seriously, I hope the officer is OK. There was a comment earlier in the thread saying, regardless of whether he was a cop, he was still a biker!. I think more importantly he his also a human, so...

[Juzz976]

I wonder if he'll get a ticket and demerits for not riding to the conditions.

[miloking]

And money for bike repair deducted from his pay? Oh wait..that makes no difference to tax payers anyway...
