    Cool

    Well at least you are STILL alive to tell the story...
    so go and thank your lucky stars for that.

    Go and buy a lotto ticket... cos if you win big, that will then, pay off the debt of the new bike that is now in pieces.

    Not insured, well you ran the risk and lost out big time $8000 of them.

    Is it repairable.. or will it be written off?

    How close were you following behind the second rider... did you fixate on his line? Hence you loosing it.

    If Mr plod had got you for doing 150 you would have been walking for 28 days and facing a hefty fine.
    Ooops you are now facing a big bill and you are walking.

    Speechless! Gobsmacked! Struck dumb!
    Yep, all of the above.
    Some of us might consider 150 kph to be slightly above medium speed - after all it is licence losing territory.
    Slow down and get your skill level up before the next off claims you for the grim reaper - your current skill level is exceeded by your bike's speed limit.
    As for no insurance, can't you get instant cover with a phone call, any time of the day or night. If not, I suggest you change insurance company - if you can get insurance with that record.

    Throwing back to a point I was making in another thread. Only the race of the asian driver is mentioned. What's your point?

    You should probably change your profile now from rs250 to I shouldn't own one.

    Sorry for your bin, but I have seen so many people drive/ride out of dealers and get wacked by other cars or just prang by generally being dicks, before they get insured, that I will not even run out onto the footpath without cover.

    And 150kph uninsured - ask yourself
    I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

    If you read these replies and get a bit miffy - don't. There are alot of people on here who've either lost people they love or had serious bins. They do know what they're talking about. To read the things you've written about you're latest off and your history you (if you look at it objectively) can understand peoples' dismay at your reckless disregard for your own safety. What is more disturbing is the disregard you have for other road users. Kill yourself by all means but spare a thought for others on the road.

    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
