Wearing Hi-Viz Black.
You mentioned that you would post pictures, so you had a camera with you. Make sure you keep copies for the insurance claim, they will be VERY useful to your insurance company and also the police if charges are laid.
Glad you hit the "eject" button quickly and you are safe!!!

Sounds like the perfect way...on a bus you will be the bird and not the windscreen!
Forum whore

some people in a nearby house took some photos because the bus stopped in the road just after it had run over the bike and it clearly shows the bus in the wrong side of the road im getting the pics off them tommorrow it was about 50 metres from home so i ran home and got a camera and took pics of the bike at the site

he has admitted he was wrong and their insurance will pay out he said i don't have insurance myself but he said thats fine because it's completely his fault....and there were at least 2 witnesses
one guy on a push bike and the people in thier house who took pics of the bus on the wrong side of the road
im just glad i didnt become roadkill i was still jumping off it when the front of the bus was about 2 metres away front wheel just missed it but the back end hit it hard and rolled over it passengers looked pretty shaken up apparently they all thought i was still on it and the cyclist thought i was as well
a near miss i will remember vividly
this guy just lucky i got the hell off the bike aye
Forum whore
thats exactly what he did some people have pics of where the bus stopped after it hit from position it's clear he cut the corner...

Seated in heavenly places
Really feel for ya Mark. What an horrific experience to go thru, but you'd have to be thankful for being able to escape serious injury or even death, which should bring things into perspective. The bike will be replaced!tried to move the bike out of the way couldnt i dived out of the way and then looked in horror as a bus squashes my bike like a bug under it's rear wheels...
arg words can't even describe the way i feel about public transportation right now
At the end of the day it sucks BIG time, life goes on, you'll get over it. Hope you can get it sorted quickly and smoothly thru insurance and be back on two wheels soon!
Hone made me
As in, if he smokes you...you end up crippled from the accident...he doesn't pay shit for that...ACC gives you a measly amount...you can't sue him specifically for the injuries to your body.

now that takes all the fun outta it and here i was thinking a could sue stagecoach for 20 billion dollars for emotional destress im just glad im still here rather than road kill..... about to post a pic of front of bike it's much worse than it looks...
Forum whore
yeah theres the damage to the front end which is where it mainly hit pic doesnt show that well but the forks are bent and the wheel is alot worse than pic looks ....still trying to find words to describe stagecoach getting close by mixing every bit of profanity together in different ways well not stagecoach just that driver
Forum whore

How the fark can it be worse than IT LOOKS!!!!! Cos baby bike not lookin too pretty!! Definite write off. That is the upside I guess.
Would cost about $30,000 to fix that with genuine *new* parts.
Glad a biker lives to see another day! At least the dumbass driver didn't say something like "Oh, didn't see ya, cos you're a motorbike", or "Ya shoulda had ya headlight on".
Man there are some idgets around!
