Arrived back at the scene as they were loading me into the ambo and was duly charged.

That's some twisted shit Mal. Least she came back to face the music. I almost feel lucky that my prangs have been, um, largely solo.

I'm pretty sure it's fixable. Biggest thing is the fairing damage.

Not as young as you might think. My excess is only $300, which will be barely more than the cost of the helmet.

Didn't even see the guy sadly

Cheers to everyone for the sympathy

Awful.

If the the person who stole it is stupid to have not converted it by now, they are stupid enough to get caught.

**phoenixgtr** · 10th August 2006, 11:16

Arghh!!!!

I can't handle this. I haven't so much as thrown my leg over a bike in 3 days. Thats the longest I've gone since I got my bike a year ago. Still not sure of the fate of her. Last I heard, they were waiting on prices for parts.

The sad thing is, my legs well enough to ride, I just don't have my bike, or a helmet , for that matter

Ah dude, I know how you're feeling. What you doing today? You can come pick up my bike and borrow my helmet for an hour or so if you like?...

You're an angel Hels

But I'm very busy with work today, (which should keep my mind off it, but as you can see, it isn't).

Thanks for the offer though,

you're the best!

That sounds great

Damn this spreading reputation crap!!

**Str8 Jacket** · 10th August 2006, 11:31

LOL, beer is better than rep anyway. Flick me a text if your keen, im sure we could get a few people out for a few drinks this weekend. Im sure I could twist Glenns arm...

Bike is probably a write off.

The biggest issue is they don't make the fairing parts anymore. It's still up to State yet, but Welly MC's reckon the dream is over.

On a brighter note, the police have caught the bastard that hit me!!
He's only been arrested on the car theft charge so far. They just need to prove he was driving the car at the time he hit me.

So, a bit of good and a bit of bad

**Ozzie** · 10th August 2006, 16:12

Good luck dude, may the thievin low life get life!

It sucks to be a good natured law abiding citizen these days, just sets you up to cop a hammering.

Bring out the guns

I'm getting the helmet on my bike insurance and my gear held up really well, the only thing that was stuffed was my wet weather pants. At $70 they're not worth claiming
