Hit and run

[phoenixgtr]

Yesterday morning I got knocked off my bike by some prick who just cut across my lane without warning. My bike's a bit broken (broken fairings, mirror, exhaust shield), not too serious. My legs a bit banged up too, cause I was stupid and didn't let go of my bike as it slid down the road. Nothing too serious.

The worst part of the whole thing was that the guy took off!! By the time a couple of witnesses managed to get my bike off me, the car that hit me was halfway down the road. Lukily one of the witnesses got the number plate and I've reported the whole thing with the police. The trouble is, it's a stolen car. That'll be why the bastard didn't stop.

So, if anyone in the Wellington region sees a white Mitsubishi Legnum Station Wagon, rego CLA722, let me know!!

Crap mate thats not good to hear, I hope you recover quickly!

[phoenixgtr]

I'm more worried about my bike. I miss her already. She's in the shop getting assessed for insurance

[skelstar]

Argh, that sucks mate. Good to hear you came out the other end of the accident though. Dont worry about the bike too much...in the end its only a bike.

[Dooly]

What a bastard.
Hit and runners are so low.

[Swoop]

Bugger mate!
That low life will get what he deserves, somehow or another...
Get your ride fixed and back on the road as soon as you can.

[phoenixgtr]

Yeah, I just hope they find the guy, but the chances are pretty slim

Bastard.
What a cock - no wonder he ran if it was stolen.
Good to hear your in one piece tho

[frogfeaturesFZR]

Bad luck mate. Still glad to know you're (mostly) ok

[Maverick]

All the best for a quick recovery, glad you have insurance, hopefully they will pull finger and get you up and running without too many delays!

[jumma]

Sorry to hear mate. Hope you make a quick recovery. Will keep an eye out for the car in question. Where'd this happen?

[phoenixgtr]

It happened on Adelaide road, near the basin. I think I picked the wrong car to get hit by!!

Turn that on it's head mate - keep in mind he chose the swrong guy to run over.

Hunt him down and make sure he gets everything coming to him (legal like of course...)

Hit and run, assualt with a vehicle ... whatever it eligible. Nail the bastard to the wall. Maybe talk to the car owner (who also had a loss - they now have a damaged car) and join forces where possible.

Good luck and I hope you feel better soon

Now's your perfect chance to design your own FXR fairing, put in a ram-air system on it, and a fan at the front that looks and sounds like a jet turbine.
Sorry to hear about the crash, my fxr's been in my garage for over 3 months GRRRR!!! It sucks aye.

Yep, my partner works in the courts so shes alreaddy stirring the cops up through her connections, which could help. Good point about the owners of the car. It was actually stolen from a dealership, which means they may have more power than the average joe, when it comes to finding the guy. It's been stolen for 2 weeks apparently. The guy was pretty keen to still be driving it round. It's only a matter of time. Now it's got damage on it, it should be easier to spot.
