Anyone know anything about this? (Biker down 22 Feb)

[placidfemme]

A work mate of mine were talking about the dangers of biking (me binning my bike on the way to work 3-odd weeks ago and then last weekend my boss binning his bike and crushing his knee) and she was telling me this morning about a bike accident she witnessed on Thurs 22nd Feb between 6pm & 7pm on the Northern Motorway just before Lincoln Rd.

She said the guy was riding a "not flash" bike. (whatever that means to a non-biker), She said it looked kind of like a dirt bike but it wasn't (so could have been a road legal dirt bike, motard or non-fairing tourer type bike I'm assuming).

She said the guy on the bike was lanesplitting at a fast speed (again by the definintion of a non-biker... so could be anywhere between 40kph and 70kph), infront of her was a guy in a Merc and he went to change lanes (and he wasn't indicating) and pulled out infront of the biker splitting up the lanes, the biker then apparantly tried to avoid hitting the Merc and only just managed to get passed the Merc before hitting into the back of a 4x4. The Merc driver continued and didn't stop to see if the biker was ok. My workmate got his plate number (not that he is in the wrong legally...) and the biker was apparantly thrown off his bike and slid across the lane (insert drama's here), he got up limping and looking like he was in some amount of pain, pushed his bike off the motorway and thats about it...

Anyone know who this guy is and if he's ok?

dunno anything about it, but i dont think he would have been in too much pain if he was able to push the bike to the side of [what im guessing] a crowded motorway.
i know when i came off, i couldnt even lift my top box, never mind the bike!

true...first thing i did was get up and take my helmet off. lol. i should have stayed where i was. only reason i wanted the box was cos my celly was in there. i knew id have to leave everything where it was. lol. amazing how much a very battered body can put up with when it comes to survival.

Skidmark had his accident last Thursday ........

He hoons on the motorways..............

so it could have been him

He was riding a 'borrowed' older blue Honda........has spokes etc.
It kinda looks like a GN250......

He has sold off all his past bikes...... and got himself a mini that he crashed.
On his profile he says he has a Suzuki GSXR100 Bucket Racer bike...

He is apparently hobbling around on crutches with a broken ankle.....

He hasn't posted up pic's yet........ like he usually does....... of the damage to him and the bike.

Its a small world isn't it... just told my co-worker I may know who the guy was and she said "skinny and tall?" Dunno if that suits his description either, but she did say he looked like a younger guy

Hahaha... what a cock.

A few of us have seen Marks definition of splitting, and it was an accident waiting to happen.

Funny thing is....... according to his story in a post somewhere on KB.....
he got taken out by a white van.......... as he went into the back of it.

He is known to stretch his story a tad........

Quote from Post95 as above:

nope camera got smashed in accident so it didn't save that vid (seriously no bullshit) (ask disco dan)

was in fast lane on the motorway somebody in middle lane thought there was a gap ...hit me into the back of a van... then the car that hit me sped off, ddnt get rego.

My co-worker is at lunch, but I'll confirm if it was a van or a 4x4. According to her the Merc that changed (or tried to) lanes didn't impact with the bike, the biker swerved to miss the Merc and in effect ran into the back of the van/4x4.

As for not getting the rego, my co-worker got the rego and her sister got out the car and gave it to him as well as the lady who was driving the van/4x4 and another witness that stopped to see if the rider was ok...

my... how the truth does come out
