    I wish I'd hit the cow who stepped out in front of my 2min old Gixxer - it would still have had seal rash but I would have felt better!

    I hit a pedestrian once - she was standing on the footpath....and I was on the road.

    Ape hangers did that sort of thing....

    I bet it was where Cuba St crosses Vivan St. Its amazing they amount of times peeps have stepped out in front of me there. Pedestriains seem to look for car & not bikes.... ummm like some cagers.
    Not a nice outcome.
    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face.

    Imagine if you had been riding your bike.
    FINE. This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

    I hope it wasn't Crab Crawler. He just walks straight out into traffic like it isn't there.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    RIP pedestrian, poor bloody rider though, imagine having to live with that for the rest of your life.

    It was just up from the Shell and in the left lane from what I saw.

    Hopefully if the Ped was at fault it may ease the guilt.
    Years ago when I worked at Boyle Kawasaki we had a young guy who worked in our workshop killed when some arsehole played 'chicken' with him.
    Bounced him off and under a car.
    Big pedestrian, RX125 and small guy....dead.
    Not cool.

    You have no idea how many Peds step out onto the street with out looking. Not only that................in all the time I was city driving the shuttles never ever saw any one on cell phone look for traffic as the steped out onto the road. Odds that the ped was on a cell phone.

    The number of Ipod zombies mindlessy wandering about is incredible. I have narrowly missed the opportunity to kill many of them while working, they dont see footpath closed signs, road cones, hazard tape or notice all the pieces of wood on the ground and the guy swinging in the tree with a chainsaw.

    The worst you come across is women with prams, pushing the pram out into traffic then looking out for cars. They push those things like some advancing tank, nothing will stop em.

    You're not wrong with that one. Some mothers need a licence to operate a pushchair.

    I see that way to often when im in the holden. Its not like a tank, its more like a decoy (like you can hit the baby first and i will be safe). Terrifies me. Once i even gave a lady the fingers (dont want to use the horn or yell - baby might wake).
