Sniff, sob, my cbr600 is gone. RIP my baby

[granma2]

I had an accident this morning (7.30am)on my way to work.
Someone ran a red, turned across in front of me.
I hit his front guard, and went for a wee flying lesson.
The cops said I hit his windscreen with my head.
I only remember me head hitting the tarmac,then thinking, this is gona hurt.

Luckily I'm home with very sore legs and a dislocated finger. (which I put back in waiting for the ambo.LOL.)

I put my survival down to my low speed at intersections and falling off the pocketbikes we race. I have learnt to relax when I come off.

Be careful out there guys and girls.

Oh crap! What is it about these dudes who run red lights? I always enjoyed my flying lessons ... but they were all in aircraft.

The bod is going to hurt tomorrow and for the next 4 days at least ... how bad is da bike? {he says, having a soft spot for CBR600's}

[Str8 Jacket]

That's not cool! Im glad that you are relatively OK. I hope that you heal fast!

Hi Grub,

Well put it this way, it's f&%$#d.
Bits of bike all over the intersection.

The front end is gone and possibly bent the frame.

...Someone ran a red, turned across in front of me....

Sorry to hear. Hope you heal fast.
But when are the powers-that-be gonna start targetting this sort of shit?? Oh yea - much easier to nab folks 11k over.

Hey there.
Sorry to hear about your accident. Those bloody people who run red lights need a SWIFT KICK UP THE ASS.
Which intersection did it happen and was is at another black spot?
I hope you have a speedy recovery and are back out riding soon.
My fingers are broken and i haven't been able to ride for weeks so i can sort of sympathize with you.
All the best

[fireball]

that sucks, i feel your pain

hope you are feeling better soon and that the red light runner goes for a legal skate.... (yeah right)

i am interested to see how you get on, best of luck mate.

Grrrr ... that's horrid. How pissed off were the cops at the guy(?). I bet it was pathetic watching him trying to explain himself.

The worst part is that you'll probably have to wait weeks and weeks for the insurance coy to make up their mind and to pay you out so you can replace her.

Accident was in Henderson on corner of Edsel St, Edmonton Rd lights.

Well I got racing in two weeks, so I WILL BE BETTER!

The power of positive thinking and heaps of painkillers. LOL

[granma2]

yeah the cops were going to arrest him, except he was in total shock.He has been summond to appear at a later time. He was in his mid 30's.

He has admitted full responsibility. There were heaps of witnesses.

If he had of been an arse about it, they were going to throw the book at him.

I give full credit to the St John's, Police and Waitakere Hosp. They were fantastic and on the spot real fast.

[mynameis]

Bummer, heal up fast and sort the insurance payout ASAP.

In the meanwhile ponder how lucky you are not getting T boned!

And for some amusement have a read of this thread here.

[90s]

Man, glad they caught the guy, but so sorry about the incident and the loss of your CBR.

[Swoop]

Those bloody people who run red lights need a SWIFT KICK UP THE ASS.

No they don't. They need shooting.
Armed police on intersections... Red light runner = BANG!

Watch it stop overnight.

[breakaway]

That's horrible. Poor CBR.

Get the fucker's insurance to buy you a new one

[Guided_monkey]

And another biker gets nailed by a red light runner. They just don't think when they run the red. When are the Police and Courts going to sort these people out. They're always sorry when they have an accident......

Hope you get better soon.
