    Bike vs Truck today - East Tamaki

    A few pics of this poor guy riding his little Honda 250 into the front of a truck... well to be more correct, the truck pulled out and the poor guy didn't have anywhere to go.

    Fortunately, he wasn't too bad when I went to the hospital to see him but haven't got a full list of injuries yet.

    I hate it when people just say "I didn't see him/her".

    Stopped the poor guy dead in his tracks! Doesn't sound too good if he's been hospitalised and there's a "list" of injuries...hope the guy's okay.

    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds

    And the temples of his Gods

    Hope the rider is gonna be ok.... and his injuries heal up fast.

    BykeyCop - How bad was the bike?
    Does it look like it could be fixable or written off?

    Right hand handle bar badly bent, almost snapped right off. Would assume forks buckled but I would say for hitting the front of a truck, it was actually not too bad.

    Will visit the rider next week and see how he is.

    Will either be charged with Careless Driving or Careless Causing Injury - just have to talk to the rider next week before I can confirm which. Will be a court appearance either way.

    This could have been a whole lot worse, hope the rider has a swift recovery.
    Some days it's not even worth chewing through the restraints.

    IMHO he should be charged with attempted murder for that effort

    The voice of reason...you be right Mr SpeedMedic. I will go back to my corner of the universe.

    Its tough to sit back and watch this kinda senseless action from the so called professional drivers on our roads... and Mrs SM is right - YOU THINK TOO MUCH!!!!!

    Thanks Speedmedic... yes, please don't go ringing the company. The bosses were very good and wanted to know how the guy was etc. It's just one guy who is responsible so not very fair to tar the whole company. In hindsight, I probably should have blacked out the name but was too eager to post the pics!
