Reckon it was boy racers doing the burn out thing? Reckon there might be a few boy racer cars out there which need to be sold to pay for the damage...

Nah, I've seen this happen in dunners a few times and followed it. what I saw was an old 4WD that's cracked the engine block and leaking oil like crazy, on other times a honda jazz and a toyota echo, both visably dripping a stream of oil.

Boy racers prefer desel don't they? ya can smell that.

Sorry to hear about the downer. If anything I would follow up the slick before it is cleaned up. Owner probably doesn't know and has caused a few accidents.

Some arsehole drops oil on the road.

Cops and anti-bike brigade condemn motorcycles, insurance and ACC raise our costs!!! Bad luck zadok, sympathies. Cheers John.

Too true oldrider, the port hills was the target a few years back, some twat thought it would be entertaining to put down oil on a corner ot two...I understand there were a number od casualties...criminal...

Glad to hear you're ok Zadok!...it's never nice to see your bike broken though!

Been to bike shop for quote. Unbelievable. To bring it back to pristine condition, over $7,000. The assessor looks at it tomorrow.

**froggyfrenchman** · 1st September 2005, 19:15

Good to hear mate. Can you post pics of the transformation?

Glad you are OK and it's all under control. Bit bloody rough though! Frigging dickheads that drop shit on the road need a good kicking.

Cheers

Good one - Toldyaso! Before you know it - it will be an amusing anecdote.

Not that you did personally, but I always say that there is no point getting out of shape about broken machines. They all do it.
Like you did - Assess, analyze and action - it's much better than sobbing in the pretzels.
