Stupid prick

[Mr. Peanut]

Heh, P nut.

But seriously a 3 year old should know the old look right look left look right then cross shit

Do they? This class is probably down the list after:
"How to hug trees"
"Your rights under the treaty of waitangi"
"How to be declared bancrupt and still retain your assets"
etc.

The kid can probably milk cows, handle stock, teach a calf to feed, put up a fence, drive a tractor, spray weeds, fix a waterline, shoot, drench, and is probably not bad on a bike either. Tree hugging and the treaty of waitangi would be far down on the list. He didnt slow down and look, he knew he had to, but didnt.
Even the most experienced riders amongst us make mistakes.

My first ride on a trail bike involved coming to rest on a fence post.

I don't know if you remember it, but that feeling of, "hey look I'm doing it", got overwhelmed in a series of panics about how to turn, brake - pushbikes didn't help here - both handle bar levers were brakes and the front brake was the LEFT lever on my pushie, changing gear, wow this is fast, aaagh, fence post, crump........

Much laughter from my mates.

It's easy to leap to the conclusion this kid knew how to ride. Maybe it was his first time on a motorised bicycle.

It pays not to make assumptions about anything written about motorcycles in the NZ media. They don't know, don't care, and assume the rider was a hairy lout who deserved it.

LOL i did something similar... mine was an error in judgement though, went flying over a hill on SN4PD's parents farm and straight into a bog, took 3 of us and a tractor to remove it.

I have 35 years of motorbike riding behind me and I can quite catagorically state that

I WAS THIS SO CALLED "STUPID PRICK"

In fact I would go so far, maybe to my own detriment, to state that I still am.

I've made so many mistakes on a bike that I dont remember them all.

I hope the kid is OK and that he learns from this error as we all have in the past. It was very unfortunate that his error resulted in him visiting a hospital.
