MAYDAY MAYDAY.. MARINE DOWN!

**SARGE** · 5th December 2005, 08:41

Yes im fine..

on the way to work on the NW this morning .. tooling along slowly ( wasnt splitting to much, and only about 5 km faster than traffic..) pulled into a pretty good sized gap that i had stumbled on in the #3 lane and started flowing with traffic....

next thing i nkow.. this #%^$#^@#$%&(#TY$^*(^&*(WE%Q#$^ BITCH in a sports sedan fires on her indicator and about 1/2 way into the first blink, shes 2 metres into my lane..

slick roads, lack of coffee and dumb luck..

yup.. you guessed it .. ***BLAM!!!*** down i go on my right side.. broken footpeg ( yet another great reason for solid mount pegs.. saved the Micron...), scuffed airscoop and upper fairing..

my knee is rashed ( very mild) as is my forarm ( THROUGH the armor.. coulda been worse..) BRAND NEW jeans survived unscathed though

big ups to MDU for pulling over and following me till he saw i was ok..

beer on me some night bro

**Rashika** · 5th December 2005, 08:45

DAMN! doesn't that just really pee you off
Glad you are okay tho, cant believe the jeans survived

...did you get her details?

**DemonWolf** · 5th December 2005, 08:47

Good to hear you survived relatively unscathed!

**Sniper** · 5th December 2005, 08:48

Bugger mate, hope you heal up well

No worries mate - hope the rest of your day is better than the start of it.

" i didnt see you"}

" i didnt see you"

"lady.. thats the ONE thing you dont want to say right now.."|

" i didnt see you"

"get back in your car sweetheart..trust me.."

i was so jacked up i picked my bike up ( NOT A SMALL BIKE..) like it was a pushie and pulled to the buslane

lucky im in a good mood

Bugger. Damn cages. Had 1 pull out on me this morning 2. Managed to stay upright tho after my back wheel had a nice slide. Bitch. They just dont look or care. Had my first off on the weekend though so youre not the only 1 with scratched fairings

**Madmax** · 5th December 2005, 08:53

bummer last time mine went down was in the drive

**raster** · 5th December 2005, 08:54

Sorry to hear mate, bet the woman didn't even give a damn, sometimes I think it's safer to be between the lanes (splitting), the only time I've had any problems seem to be when your taking up a lane.

Glad to hear your OK.

SARGE - Glad to hear you are ok mate...

Send her the bill...... for all damages... including new gear and helmet.

**oldrider** · 5th December 2005, 09:00

I dint worry about a rego #.. trust me .. if i would have stuck around there woulda been charges filed against me..

no damage to the gear.. very minor bike damage.. not concerned

Jezus H mate! Good there's not too much damage to you or the bike./ She can afford to get you some new gear and fix you bike, that'll teach her to look next time. MDU may have got the rego.
