Yes that is a much better choice of word.

yes your right there dude after my accident you go over and over what u did and what u can learn

from it, gezz i didnt even get my hand to brake in mine just stood up and went flying not that Iremember

that part, i hit at 60-70kph ended up other side the lights 30 ft from the bike on my bum.

And that was like 25 years ago and still very carefull trouble is you come up to a car and

u think will he go or not if they do its like last minute you only got few seconds to react

I be very anoyed let myself let that happen again i want least get on the front brakes like you did

In my case saw the old dude on the other side the lights and thought whats worst he do u turn never relized

there was car park in what was the trainstation on moorehouse ave and next thing bloody car going strait across my path

agggg impact was huge i felt it through the bars i was calm though was like oh this is it then just getting up from the

road. my bike was munted the bottom fork bracket got pulled out the forks

I had another squiz at the bike this morning. It hasn't got any prettier with the passage of time, poor thing. Seeing perfectly good machinery rendered wanting makes me a bit sad.

Any news on the insurance negotiations, Hitch?
Sounds unlikely to be a repair eh?

Bike has just been delivered to Wellington Motorcycles. They'll need to work out how much needs to be replaced and the cost of that. Then Star Insurance will decide a course of action.

I still haven't had the chance to go look at it sorry. But from what I've heard...it'll be down the tubes.

Ah well, hope the settlement's an expeditious piece of work, summer's here.
