But I reckon we'd all have gone into the back of the Remurewa tractor had any of us had been in that same situation. Main thing is that your OK, bikes are easily replaced or repaired. If I was in your shoes I'd be sitting down with a glass of anesthetic/Jim Beam by now...

Hitcher - take care mate, hope the knee does not get any more sore.

So I'm told...

Yep I agree with Jim2... Geeze Hitcher

– damn thankful you are ok.. best get that knee seen to properly before the anesthetic wears off ?? (JD? JB?).

I can only imagine what poor Mrs H musta been thinking coming across the scene!! (She probably could do with her own anesthetic

Look after yourself

Commiserations Hitcher . Blue Rav 4 ?

Sorry to hear that.
What rotten luck.

I hope you get it fixed up (or a new bike sorted) quicker than last time.

Sort of red/pinkish, with signwriting on it for the maintenance services company what owns it. And now a black mark on its right rear "bumper" where it got Liberaced by an ST.

Yes you are...it's always the cager's fault, dontchano!!
Sorry it has happened so soon after the last 'episode'. Hope you are not parted from your baby too long.

**RT527** · 11th June 2006, 17:31

The Rav4`s do have a lockout on going into reverse but i bet anything that the tosser has broken it as its only a week arsed thing that breaks easy as.....Man hitcher yous lucky you didnt spend more time on the "Reversing Lights....WTF!!!", could`ve been a lot worse.
Get better soon and dont stop using the knee youll only seize it up more, use the hot cold compress thing.
And keep it moving.
Did i say get better soon....oh i did, ah well hope the bike doctors can fix the ST.

That's a line you will regret typing for many moons!
You're wrong anyway Hitcher. IT'S ALWAYS THE FAULT OF THIS LABOUR GOVT. No matter what happens I blame them for everything.
