Doesn't matter if it's not insured.

Unlucky dan, but yeh, drifters need to be shot.

well at least this wasn't just you cocking up ... did you see the diesel there or was it just hit it and slide? ... had trouble once i hit a patch of diesel on the hyobag and getting it off the diesel was a deathtrap ... couldn't put your feet down till you get out either

...well only if theres more than about 5 litres...but in reality if theres something slippery on the road we can A wash it off...B get someone to come put sand on it...all you do is Dial 111 ask for fire service and say theres a diesel spill which has caused an accident ... fire truck arrives decisions will be made , problem will be sorted.

Its not a hassle.

...isn't that section 50 or have they still got it at 70 ...

Either way round abouts are notorious for diesel and oil spills.

Still glad your ok.

Yeah, I hit some "have no idea what it was" kinda fluid on the road yesterday avo and got some serious fish-tailing coming onto the Waiuku-Glenbrook Rd, would say that I am lucky that I was spat out the other side, still one with my bike, laughing like a hyena.

Sorry to hear about your off, hope the bike heals quick
