Fuck!! Downed in the Manawatu Gorge

[MattRSK]

Hey Have you managed to get your bike picked up yet. I may have a slight chance of getting the work truck tomorrow to help you out. Not 100% sure that I can but I want to help you out. PM for my details.

[chanceyy]

coming to palmy on thurs .. might be able to jack up a trailer .. or if someone in palmy has one .. dunna mind a trip out to get a bike ..


if you need a hand pm me morrow

cheers

will not say anything re crash .. definately lifes lessons .. but you still need to report it

[muzz]

So long as you have got 100m clear visablity thro out the entire movement. No problems.

[bell]

I'll prob get some red rep for this but, can't do nothing about it because i have no license, got over 100 demerits and really shouldn't be riding so... no insurance etc. Not complaining though because I made the decison to ride. Just my bad luck I guess (or dumb choice). You live you learn.

Methinks there's quite a bit of learning in this for you! Got a bicycle?

[Sparky Bills]

Shit dude! Sorry to hear about your bike. Sounds like you had the right gear on though. So count yourself lucky!

Has anyone stepped up with a van/trailer yet?

sorry dude but your right "you live you learn"
downed me bike with no insurance 2K later still no bike about one to go

SHIT HAPPENS

[sil3nt]

Surely riding without a license and being hit by a car would be treated as two seperate things?

[MD]

Sorry to hear that. Shit I can't stand poncy 4x4s drivers at the best of times. Hearing that just confirms yet again how so many of those arrogant pricks think they own both sides of the road, and all other vehicles should move aside as they pass and bow in reverence to their stuck up tastes in ugly boxes. Is it part of their ownership training to cut every bloody corner.
Bummer you had no licence and insurance. That sort of makes it pointless contacting the Police and I can't see how you can claim on their insurance if you can't lodge a claim with your own Co. first?

[Colapop]

In the mean time (unless someone has helped already) get out there somehow and chain it up - at least til tomorrow. Don't wanna come back and find it gone...

[Hooks]

Sorry to hear of the bin mate !! ... If no one can help ya before hand I'm free from 3.30pm tomorrow. I'll hire a trailer and we can go get it if it's still there ...

One question ... did this happen in the gorge itself ...?? I only ask this as it's marked a no passing zone with a really boring 70 or 80kph speed limit ....

Anyway ... PM me if you still need help tomorrow OK ??

[mikey]

probably knock a biker off after id spent 100,000 on a suv an was being beaten by a 1000dollar rg150..

2nd that

The gear did it's job that's the main thing, your lucky to basically have walked away from it.

As for the other aspects, mark one down to lessons learned not to be repeated and move on.

[metric]

good luck with it fella

lesson learnt etc

glad to hear the boots stood up to abuse

[Shadows]

Fuck, bummer dude. Glad you're okay. If I was a bit closer I'd give you a hand to collect it, anyway, I'd go back tonight if I were you whether you can afford it or not... borrow some money if you have to!

[KLOWN]

Thanks everyone for your support and advice!!
