I just hit a girl on my bike.

[FROSTY:Me]

Yod
Funny innit how theres 2 sides to every story.
front page story in the local paper ---Poor lil girl got run over and abused by a group of competition cyclists.Her bicycle was written off and she was in shock as a result--She was acosted by members of this "arrogant group of racers" who think they owned the road.
Sounds terrible doesn't it??

Then tucked away in the back page a week later was a letter from a VERY irate parent.

My son was involved in a cycle road race.
The road was closed for the duration of the race.
I and the group of people I was with saw 2 young children were riding their cycles onto the road from a driveway in front of a parked car They were oblivious to the oncoming racing cycles.
In response to our called warnings they responded with profanities and carried on riding out behind the parked car --directly into the path of the group of racing cyclists my son was in.
The collision caused my son to be catipulted down the road.

Just a bloody shame that you couldn't have dodged enough to miss her but given her a good slap in the head as you went by. grrrr

What, and break his burger eating hand on a skull that thick?

[McJim]

I still think he should just have asked to see her tits.

Anything out that time of night, roaming away from McDs in Manurewa... hell no

[Grahameeboy]

It's look right first but agree people in NZ (Well a lot) have no concept of crossing the road......sorry but it's this Kiwi attitude that I am here, I don't care about you, you should be responsible and avoid me.....bit like a lot of cagers....change lanes, maybe indicate, so what if I have just cut the other guy up..didn't they see me..

Glad you did not get knocked off and sadly doubt the girl will not learn from it.

And McJim................well what can I say

[zeocen]

McJim, go down to southmall right now, and take a look at the fine specimen you're asking to see tits from. I think you'll see why I kept my mouth shut about seeing any sort of body parts resembling breasts!

I had another look at my bike and noticed that the windscreen crack has extended even further now, looks like I might actually have to finally buy a new windscreen. I wanted to buy a new visor first, gah, the last thing I needed was a whale to strand herself infront of my bike *sigh*

And yes, the burger was cold.

And somewhere, an angel groaned at being forced to save her plonker of a charge from GBH... the groan was the effort of physically trying to restrain the pendulous frame of flesh, stuffed with variegated McDeath's food products!

Glad to hear nothing more came of this, lucky you didn't end up being taken out by the group of them (I think the fear of retribution from the biker tribe kept them in check! )

Next time, go to Wendys. Higher class of idiots to walk into your bike!

Mrs cowboyz and I went to speedway and took the bike for easy parking. On leaving there is 10001 cars all trying to get out of the place. We lane split on the centre medium at about 15km/hr as the cars were all at a standstill.
There was a Dad with 2 kids standing in the middle of the road trying to get across.
I was bouncing the clutch and keeping the revs up so people knew I was there. I stopped about 1m away from these peds and they still didnt notice us. Gave the bike a few good revs and still no notice.
Then they saw the bike and near jumped through the ceiling (if there had been one there). Pity I had been there for 2 mins.

Use a truck next time you will get a better result

[Quartermile]

This post won't really have a point, I'm just furious at the human race in general right now.

So I was feeling a bit peckish and decided to kill my arteries a bit by getting McD's, so off I go! Happy as larry I pootle down the road to the local mcdonalds, which is in southmall, manurewa.. Going there at night should have been caution enough to turn back, but I really felt like a cheeseburger damnit.

Bah when people tell me shit like 'save your organs' that I tell them I'll probably fall off my bike and die first, gets a nice shocked look followed by a oh ok then

Nah, it was no where near. When I got home I thought maybe I should get her details but I doubt I would have gotten them easily, and they were pretty smug/careless about the whole thing.. I didn't really want to get in their faces, 1 angry biker against 2 car loads of .... yeah, :/

I just can't actually fathom the stupidity of some people, I really can't.

That depends, what type of knuckled gloves do you have?

[Forest]

Get yourself one of those super loud horns. Problem solved!

[skidMark]

This was a fairly big girl that bumped into me so I check if there's damage and rearrange my mirror back to its position and ride off.

and of course there was some tyre tread lost as you took off right...

once a car pulled a u turn infront of me...spat me off my bike (they were charged for being at fault)

outside a private girls school about 50 of them all sat there laughing at me...so i backed the bike up to them 2nd gear.....revved the snot out of it and just dropped the clutch..... smoked them all out...said something along the lines of whose f***king laughing now. and rode off ....another clutch pop and up onto one wheel down the road.

i was so pissed off it wasn't funny.

twas on my gpx 250 too

[skidMark]

dude ,know how you feel , out tonight with another bike, woman in a black 4x4 in the strand parnell, tail gated me and my mate so close i could see the colour of her eyes , bitch , run between the to bikes hit the brakes and she moved between the to bikes with inches to spear in fact she hit my knee, so i pulled upto her , kicked the her tail gate in , now explain that to the husband

car drivers can be stupid but i don't do the whole...kicking in doors and mirrors...a) i have a numberplate b) cars are bigger if they swerve hard as you do it your proper fucked.

Agreed - where's Ixion, travelling salesperson of the wonderous Gene-o-kleen?

Cheer up, it was probably an innocent mistake, she saw a big black noisy object and probably thought it was a relative coming up for a hug...
