You can do it! Pass that bike.

[NC]

I picked up the mighty A100 lastnight, awesome bike it is
Travelling back down the Hutt Motorway with BL behind me in the car keeping an eye on my shitting riding skills, nothing out of the ordinary. There is on of those huge trucks with those pointy arrows on the back of the truck telling people to move into the other lane.
As I'm approtching the truck I'm constantly glancing in my rightside mirror watching a white car (merc) speed up and TRY and cut infront of me, totally fucking the whole manovor up, the dick locks his breaks up and smashes the right front side straight into the back of the truck doing about 80kms -110kms?
I thought I was fucken done for! I was expecting the merc to bounce off the truck and slam me into the barrier, or at least wipe me out.
I didn't stop, I think it was best for him/it if I didn't.

What a tosser.

OMG!

I'm flabbergasted, but it's cool that the mighty A100 kept you safe.

[Sniper]

Good work NC. You should never stop for arseholes like that

[SPORK]

Yuss! (I think)

We need to all respect the power of the A100!

[Odin]

An other merc bittes the dust Hope the driver was ok. Have you had a look for an article in the local papers or the like ?

Good to hear you'r all right and got clean underware on again.

[bungbung]

Go Ruth,

Is that the a100?

Call the cops and make a statement. It may serve to increase charges from careless to dangerous.

I thought I heard a dirty old 2 stroke caning up and down the road here last night...

[skelstar]

I was riding down the motorway last night and saw one of the trucks with the arrows etc. Infront of it was a car stoved into the dedian barrier (quite messy) and there was a police car there as well. About 9:20pm. When did the incident happen NC?

[feistyredhead]

na the guy wil be insured to the max....or really well off give him a while and the bugger will be back to scare the bikers!

[Hitcher]

People who drive late-model European cars are unlikely to have paid for them with their own money. A business somewhere will have financed this purchase and be paying vast amounts of FBT on it.

NC - Glad to hear that you and your bike are ok.
Hope they throw the book at the driver.

Do ring the police as YOU are a witness to the accident.
They need to know excatly what happened.
So they can throw more charges at the plonker.

I don't think they will worry about you not stopping, as there was workers on site to deal with it. Plus you were in shock after just about being killed by that maniac.



PS: Nothing has come throu via email from "police comms centre" about the accident at all.

She wasn't required to stop.

[WRT]

Poor truck driver too!

[James Deuce]

The trucky will be sweet. Those trucks have a big deformable water filled buffer on the back that weighs about 2 tons and soaks all the energy up without even moving the truck. Saw a Nissan Bluebird fold up on one on the Nauranga gorge. Truck didn't even bounce up and down a bit.

I never get that "must speed up to pass in the most dangerous situation I've been in all day" mentality.
