Thanks all you guys and guy-ettes.

I'm back home now, after getting plastered up. Damage is a not-to-badly broken lower radius. Wrist thingy.

Was splitting down wellington motorway, mild differential, about 70K. Dude in front (courier, buhhhhh) pulls from the right to the left just as I approach him. Didn't even confirmicate.

On the anchors, but obviously not in time, collected his left corner, went down like a sack of potatoes. Somersaults etc.

Bike seemed alright. Bunged front fairing (just exacerbated what was already cracked), bent bar end. Didn't get much of a chance to examine it.

Courier dude got a tail light, scrape, and mirror. Bastard.

All this is supposedly my fault cause I was behind and was splitting (though was very explicit with the Officer that I was on the RHS of the left lane, as I was). Might be facing 'following too closely', fuck that, I've got enough on my plate!

Cheers guys,

James

Edit you were in the right he was in the wrong, too close in the other lane he turned into without indicating? Too close only includes those vehicles in your lane does it not!?

**Macktheknife** · 28th June 2006, 09:12

Great to hear you are basically ok J, heal well and quick. Sounds like you got off pretty well considering!

**Biohazard** · 28th June 2006, 09:12

CHIN UP M8

**Squeak the Rat** · 28th June 2006, 09:19

Mate, well done for getting your story straight regarding being in the other lane.

Technically he moved into your lane without indicating. Even if they do throw a following too close at you it SHOULD be in relation to the car in your lane. You can't follow too close to a car that is in another lane........ ie. the courier should be liable for damages...

I'm sure we'll all be very interested to find out how this turns out.

Glad you are (reasonably) ok.

**Two Smoker** · 28th June 2006, 09:26

Hope you have a quick recovery mate
