Kiwibiker on TV1 SCU?

[400sm]

So, have we managed to absolve the biker of all blame yet.......

The side-stand is looking like a winner at the mo.

Have we considered that there may have been a quake that moved the road surface over, by 2 metres, right at that moment.

This idea is a highly likely scenario, in Kiwibiker hyperspace.

I don't know. You seem to think you're running this show, so what's your answer to your own question?

It's humbling to see you know your place.

The little fuzzed-out bald man on TV actually said...." Gee Officer, I think my partner fucked up "

Haha, I guess that reinforces that the GN (my first wee bike) isn't modern! (I managed to ride off from the school car park once with the side stand down and nearly arsed off in front of a group of students as I turned my first corner Never happened again...

That has happened to almost every rider back in their day. Never when no one is around. The other novice fault is riding off while looking to see who's watching you and nearly clipping the car you pulled out in front of. Usually happens outside High schools during lunchtimes and when school is out. and yes, they are watching

Of course not - this is KBer ... your expectations are too high ..

Listen *SAM, I have been in Rob's presence enough times now to state confidently that, he certainly wouldn't speak like that of Sharon.


*Sad Little Man.

Your acronyms need work bro.

[Katman]

Why stop at acronyms?

Had a sidestand moment many moons ago on the Rimituka (spelling?) hill,had stopped for a feed at the cafe at the top then headed off north at a great rate of knots until when heading into the first lefthander things got outta shapeat first i thought the horrible old Ducati i was riding had seized and was running out of options fast as i was heading directly at a rock face then the thing came right after pulling over and an inspection the flat piece on the end of the sidestand had broken offallowing me to get round the corner...Oh big shout out to Cagivas quality control,probably saved my life.

I think Maha just read the words "little" and "bald man" and automatically got a bit flustered.

Not quite quick enough on the edit button eh!

I am distressed to see that my irony and sarcasm are wasted on a CS like you.

[MSTRS:Me]

I see that that fucken brainless wanker Tony W is back with a pseudonym. For those that don't know, he was banned for a series of disgusting abusive posts aimed at anyone that told him he was out of line. Some things never change, eh? Once a retard, always a retard.

It just goes to show that a relatively small rider error can have grave consequences.

If there were no vehicle coming towards her, the rider would have got away with it.
Unfortunately there was a "cager" (KBer talk for car+driver) on the road that caused the accident! (according to some posts on here)

Lucky it was not a truck!

The side-stand issue is a fantasy. (well covered by previous posters)

The "vanishing point" and "line" dogma that are espoused by the "KB intelligentsia" are flawed and could well have contributed to this incident.
(I am on the record criticizing these theories, in previous years)
I am sure the rider in question would have been a True Believer.


So to sum up, in KB style:

Clearly the Maori Cager is to blame.
The Pommy police are wrong.
The Judge is wrong and panders to minorities.
TV1 is biased against motorcycles.
KB Riders are The Shit.

;-)

Yeah, you got one thing right....kb riders are the shit.. well, you speak for yourself. I've seen you ride and I would agree with you, you are a shit rider. Certainly,you are in no position to comment on others' abilities .
You seem to have a personal vendetta against this rider, how awfully grown up of you....silly little man.

Different things affect different people in different ways. Most bikers have grown up with a few whoppsies here and there so its easy to brush off post crash trauma.
But for the average cager who may not necessarily drive a lot to start with it can be a lot for them to deal with. Even when I got hit by a drunk driver in my truck and I was 100% in the right it shook my confidence for ages.
Plus that lady lives out Kaiuaua way which we now is a rural racetrack so she will hear fast bikes all the time.

That show does worry me sometimes and makes me wonder how often those cops actually drive anywhere with some of the bizarre early hypothesis they develop. I hope some of it is down to poor editing by the show producers and the cops trying to give the cameras a soundbite.
The one where they tried to ham up the chance of the bread truck being overweight was laughable and poor producing.

There job is not easy though, living next to a busy t junction I've witnessed and virtually witnessed dozens of crashes. The scene afterwards is not always a true indication of what happened.

That gouge mark looked too long to be a sidestand mark, I reckon it would dig in and flick not drag like that.

It is very interesting to watch though and we can learn several things:

The govts roads are NEVER a factor in the crash especially when examined by agents of the govt.
Rarely can anything on the vehicle be proven as a contributing factor.
One or more of the drivers always screwed up something relatively simple and at or less than the speed limit.

They just wont show a crash that the condition of the road surface has caused. Quickest way to get the show cancelled.
