For all you suckers who had to work today (it's ok you get your revenge!)

**Riff Raff** · 3rd August 2005, 17:02

The sun was shining, the birds were singing and today is the first day of my holidays. What better way to celebrate than by going for a wee jaunt on the beast. I managed to pry White Trash away from his work and off we headed. With no real direction in mind we headed out to Waiuku on a nice cruisy ride, then on a whimsical route which brought us into Pukekohe and thoughts of heading to Tuakau and a bit of a blat down 22.

Sadly our journey ended in Pukekohe when a young man failed to give way to me (he saw me, stopped, then pulled out in front of me). Unfortunately I was faced with the choice of hitting him or the truck that was waiting to turn, so I slammed on the picks, locked it up and went down for a wee slide on the road. Had trouble picking myself up at first, but was spurred on when someone suggested calling an ambulance.

Fortunately the x-rays revealed that I've only sprained my thumb this time, and I've got some beautiful bruising coming up on my hip. Bike's not too bad - the usual damage (indicator, throttle, brake lever, muffler) and quite a bit of scrapeage.

The driver has told the police that he'll do the right thing and pay for the damage, in addition to the fines he's receiving for failing to give way, no warrant, no rego and driving on a learners licence with passengers. I won't hold my breath in getting money out of him - he's only 16 or 17 years old, but he was very polite and apologetic.

So as you can imagine I'm not a happy camper right now.

Damn it Sue! What's with this connection between you and bad luck?!

Very sorry to hear about this yet again but I'm very glad that nothing worst happened.

Also good to hear that he'll pay for the damage.

Did your b/f get all manly and worked up and threaten to kill the guilty party and so and so forth?

Funny you should say that! Even I was suprised at how vocally expressive he was!

It went along the lines of, parking the gixxer directly in the drivers open window and expressing words to the effect of "What the fuck do you think you're doing you stupid little fucking cunt"

Thought the poor little bugger was gonna cry. Luckily, he had his "homies" in the car for moral support.

Bloody shitheads, bloody tossers bloody bloody bloody bad luck. Perhaps Mummy and Daddy ( who prolly paid for his car) will pay for the shit that he caused too.
Sorry for the rant- but got a realthing about unskilled drivers and the grief they cause at the mo.
Glad you are ok tho

I'm always saddened to hear of a KBer going down, you have my sympathies Riff Raff. Real glad that you walked away and the bike has only cosmetic damage!

Don't let it ruin your holiday too much k!

**bugjuice** · 3rd August 2005, 18:14

That's real shit news, sorry to hear that.. hope the bike isn't too badly beat up, and hope the thumb fixes up quick!

Always the eloquent one! At least it did the trick.

Poor RR! That SV clearly has ambitions that need to be dealt with. Sternly!
