Damn Truck!!!

**Unforgiven** · 14th August 2006, 14:15

Anyone got any GSXR250 parts lying around?
Got run off the road by a truck, bastard didnt even stop!
He pulled out of a side street right on top of me, forced me over a traffic island, lucky for me there was no oncoming traffic so I had somewhere to go (sort of)
Done about a grand worth of damage to the bike,mostly cosmetic, and mangled my sholder a bit.

haven't got any spare parts I'm afraid, but have you reported this to the plod?

**Sniper** · 14th August 2006, 14:58

Bugger dude. No parts I know of, but as postie said. Does Mr Plod know

**poorbastard** · 14th August 2006, 15:19

Sorry man no parts sold them all last month unfortunatly. Thats bloody unlucky, the wreckers seem to still have a few parts lying around for gsxr 250s tho if you want to ring round them.

Sorry no parts for you any luck tracking the arsewipe truckie down.Good luck with the part hunt.

I'm glad to hear you're okay! Usually bikers and trucks don't make for a good combo - do you have insurance? Did you manage to get the truck's details down?

I hope you get back on the road soon!

**DemonWolf** · 14th August 2006, 17:55

Yeah I hope you got the bugga's details or atleast the trucks rego and any other details. Go make a report at your local police station.

and just how mangled is your shoulder? Hopefully nothing too bad?

Hope things work out and you get compensation and repairs for the bike

**John Banks** · 14th August 2006, 20:48

Damn, sounds nasty... and getting the rego is the last thing you think of when you're sliding down the road. If by some fluke you got it, make sure the bastard gets what's coming to him.

**sunhuntin** · 14th August 2006, 21:08

no parts here either sorry, but like the others, i hope you got something identifiable to get the pig done. get that shoulder looked at too, if you havent already.

I have a brand new stainless VTR rhs muffler which could be made to fit

**Unforgiven** · 14th August 2006, 22:05

My sholder isnt too bad, just pulled muscles etc, I would recomend Tenic Armourtex gear to anyone.
I have a new muffler, which thankfully I hadnt got round to putting on the bike yet.
Tracked the guy down from the company the truck belongs to.

**gijoe1313** · 14th August 2006, 22:08

Well done, nice sleuthing there! Any hope of restitution of damages and apologies forthcoming?

**Unforgiven** · 14th August 2006, 23:18

I shure hope so too. But then again, I know where he lives.....

**Bend-it** · 15th August 2006, 00:06

That's right, and if the bastard tries to weasel out of things... I'm sure there are afew peole on here who would only be too happy to pop around and sort 'im out...

Oops, you're in Whangarei... it'll have to be the Auckland boys then...

Glad you're ok though... Know how it feels, and we just develop... EYE OF THE TIGER!!
