Redundant and rear ended

[willytheekid]

After getting the news of being made Redundant on thursday(ffs!)...I thought, what #$#% next?(Just bought a house and have third kid on the way...timing eh)

...bad move

Getting rear ended at the lights was next on the shit list

Young girl had a bit of sunstrike...she did see the car waiting infront of me at the lights...she just didn't see me!...I saw her coming up behind FAST in the mirrors(not a nice view to be honest)...released the brakes and just waited for it
...She hit hard!, smacked bang-on the centre line of her bonnet, and punching me forward over a meter...didn't drop the bike tho, and managed to stop within friken inches of the car infront (Had left over a mtr 1/2 of space luckily)...then had to check the damage.

Her bumper & number plate was smashed in (rear wheel width dent), and the bike has recieved a broken bracket off the rear tail cowl (Must have slid back into it)...other wise all fine (except when we pulled over once through the lights, she was crying so much she nearly stepped into oncoming traffic )

The neck went that night..whiplash!...I don't recommend it ...friggin hurts! (I look like even more of a retard now, all stiff necked and shit lol)


Sooooo...anyone know a good plastic weilder in ChCh...oh, and does anyone have a job for me??

[Akzle]

fucken cagers.




Glad you ok cuz.

But remember bad things come in threes. So keep your vaseline handy.

Sorry to hear bout everything mate , first priority is you getting checked over by ya doc he'll more than likely find other stuff wrong with you.

Try this place for your machine , http://www.bumpershop.co.nz/bumper-r...uzzabikes.html
Ive had work done here

[HenryDorsetCase]

that sucks. Hopefully the local economy is buoyant enough that you find a job OK.

I have used Plastec before (years ago...) and they did OK.

Since her insurers are paying, you might want to get the bike checked over thoroughly both for alignment and mechanically. Is it shaft drive?

Not sure I would want my Crabon Fribe pushbike welded up.

Cheers Henry

Was time for a change anyway...with all the technical work going up to Auckland I was kinda just spinning my wheels and doing squat in my present role...time to use my quals to get a real job lol (never really had any problems getting work before, so it should be interesting )

The bike is absolutely fine other than the rear cowl (Cos honda!..or summin??)...I was just bloody glad I didnt drop her (now THAT would be expensive)...the neck?...meh, was already messed up from a previous accident lol...this just aggravated it further...a careful mix of wine and nurofen seems to help

That sucks.
Life can only get better though!
Congrats on the wee tacker too!

If the time I was rear ended is much to go by: check your wheel and swing arm for true. Mine looked OK by the side of the road but was out by a few degree's when checked. Bearings crushed.

You don't want to do that... The beating you would take would mean being in hospital for quite a while.

[RDJ]

that was indeed a bad day, my sympathies. Hope it improves!!

[bogan]

That sucks bro, play your cards right and you might be able to score that rear rim you were looking for though...

Good luck with job hunting.

[Ender EnZed]

Shit. Glad the VFR isn't too banged up (and you), it's not ok to write those off these days.

Hope it all works out for you.

[swbarnett]

Bugger!

Bloody good balance to not bin it and stop short afterwards.


I hate to sound like Katman but I'm curious. Did you not have room to split beside the car in front when you saw she was likely not going to stop in time?

[Moi]

Bloody heck... not the news to read with an afternoon coffee

You WILL go to see your GP and get yourself checked out - you never know, you might get back some of that investment you've made in the ACC lottery... and you'd better get your bike checked as well, just to keep a few KBers happy...

Good luck with the job hunting.
