Biker Down (Mar 13th) - Harbour Bridge South Bound

**placidfemme** · 13th March 2007, 09:01

Biker down this morning on the Habour Bridge southbound. Approx 9.30am-ish.

The bike looked like an older model Honda either a CBR 250/400 or VFR400. Mainly white with a dark tinted screen.

Male rider. Rider seemed ok, was up and walking around talking to the tow truck driver and the police... another cop on a bike was talking to a young guy in a boy racer looking car, not sure who was in the wrong.

Hope your ok buddy

I had a mental image of a biker falling off the bridge after being shunted off their bike.

Glad they are ok

Heading up or down the bridge? Heading down the bridge, in the wet, in traffic can be sketchy if you need to brake near one of the big metal joins.... Good fun headin up the bridge in the wet though.... wrrrrrrrrzzzzzzzzzzzz

Heading up the bridge. On the left hand side in lane 2, the bike and car and cops etc where in the medium lane between lane 2 and 3 (Lane two is on the outside of the bridge and lane 3 on the inside if that makes sense). Not sure if thats where the accident happened but thats where they were all parked up.

Bugger, hope whoever it is, they're ok.

It's one of us... and it sounds like they're ok. Possible broken thumb (hearsay at this point).

I'll leave it to them to volunteer any additional details.

Fingers crossed the damage on the bike isnt too bad. As for the rider....get well soon.

**Morcs** · 13th March 2007, 10:53

It hurts.

Bike is buggered.

Ive been better.

Insurance may be a nasty point, being on a 4 hundy and all...

car just changed lanes right into my path, pushed me off the road and onto my left side. I counted that I did 7 somersaults...

**Morcs** · 13th March 2007, 10:57

finger nail ripped off and a lot of lost skin. Knee is pretty bad, too some previous scar tissue off...

**Morcs** · 13th March 2007, 10:59

oh and im now serious concussed...

my vision is pretty buggered...

**bugjuice** · 13th March 2007, 11:01

how about get offline and lay down, if not go to A&E for a check up (this helps for ACC too)

**Kittyhawk** · 13th March 2007, 11:05

I think it would be wise to get checked out...just for peace of mind...think of those hot nurses who will be there??

Definitely get checked out (if you haven't already). Often it's not until the adrenaline wears off that you realise how sore you are and if you need any physio etc later, need to make sure all the ACC requirements are fulfilled.

Glad to hear you're (relatively) ok. That fingernail's going to look spectacular for a while.
