Chch Wednesday Evening Cruises - 2008

[JMemonic]

elliot and me were coming home from the wednesday night ride.
was going down carmen road in hornby, past the workingmans club and this guy pulled out from the left in front of me and cut me off, so i went around him.
then he started tailgating me and swerving behind me. we came up to the lights and they turned orange, so, i went through hoping to lose him, but he carryed on through too. so i indicatored and pulled over outside hornby high and then he drove straight into the back me on purpose when i stopped.
the whole back has been pushed in, he hit me so hard, the back of his car came up in the air.

cops are going to probably charge him with careless use of a motorvechile

Tell the cops you believe it was an attempt to cause injury or harm, did they breath test him ?

[phoenixgtr]

That should be reckless use of a motor vehicle, not just careless

[Spuds1234]

I'll add a vote in for that, as long as there's beer and a garage BBQ to keep things interesting!

Man Im posting at work. Im such a rebel

I'll volinteer my garage.

It doesnt have much in it so there is heaps of room for the bikes and all the big tough bikers that come along can spend the night intimidating my other flat mate (not dave-, the other one. Dave- would just think your being silly)

Holy fucking shit! What an idiot...

Try Dangerous Driving with Intent to Injure!

Some people doesn't deserve justice - they deserve a 9 mm injection to the base of their skulls!

After one in each kneecap!

Sounds like a linch mob may do more justice in this case rather than our pussy PC legal system.

for those clear winternights that are dry but cold, try marshlands road then right into lowerstyx, past spencerville to brooklands, then on to Kianga and finish at that in little pub at bridge end. A quick little ride with some nice flat windy roads that are normally clean and a good little pub at the end. just a quick squirt back into town from there. Good practice roads for any level rider.
probably a 1/2 hr ride

a deviation could be spencerville road just past the spencer part turn of, has a few corners that can catch the unwary ride, espesially the last over the railway line, and then finnish at the Peg hotel in belfast

suggestions for you all to concider

[QUOTE=Sellout;1491879]: I'm off to Mitre 10 today to get another bolt and some spring washers!QUOTE]

Give Blacks Fasteners a go they have a lock washer called a NORD-LOCK WASHER I haven’t used them but they look pretty good, also have a real good range of bolts and the right TENSILE strength which is quite important. Miter 10 probably only have mild steel which may brake. Gasson Street or Blenheim Road helpful guys as well.

Scary shit huh! Same sort of thing happened to me years ago when I had Mrs Oakie on as pillion. Fortunately I was able to pull over infront of a parked car so he couldn't hit us. As luck would have it there was a mufti cop coming the other way who saw the whole thing, turned, gave chase and in the end the guy lost his licence for 6 months.

A huge big thank you to everyone that helped me - you KNOW who YOU are - and all of you that made me feel really welcome to the group.

Ya right, Helen, i didn't enjoy the wind much at all (especially when it put me in a ditch but hey! what can ya do! ) but it was great to actually be out on my newbie wheels.

Look forward to doing it all again soon. (well not all....)

Oh come on ...you had great fun .
wind or not .
its all experience
it just gets better.

Good ride tonight for me, only went as far as little river then rode back and had a beer at the Halswell pub, looks like not a bad spot to have as a stop for some shorter rides over winter.

A really good wee place for a stop off

[Rashika]

elliot and me were coming home from the wednesday night ride.

sorry to hear you got hit, odd that they would follow you for no reason at all tho JW.
Didnt notice you on the KB ride, I'm guessing this was a different ride?

A really good wee place for a stop off

yeah must do that sometime, considering i live round the corner

[Lil'M]

MMMMHMMMMMMMMM................. one suggestion in one word

gn250

cant go wrong!

[Bren_chch]

OMG..."on purpose" just like you suspected me or al least someone "on purpose" put oil in ya brake system Im sorry but this is getting a little strange and hard to believe, but wait theres more"the back of his car came up in the air" HAHAHAHAHAAAAA.

what... who stuck oil in his brake system?

[JMemonic]

Ok apart from a couple of minor off's (yes lets be honest there have been accidents, and they have been covered here in detail) the Wed night cruisy rides should be considered a success.

Hats of to Tristan, Ryan and Liv, etc for a getting this going and continuing it, unfortunately daylight savings ends this weekend and this means darkness hits a bit earlier and some folks are not too keen on riding in the dark, ok perhaps suggestions are in order, I did see the idea of garage night and if I understand this right you are looking at servicing bikes, good idea and wofman may offer the use of his workshop for this purpose, mainly for teaching folks how to do the basics, (great idea if you ask me), however the idea is to have rides still and to this end please consider shorter routes you would feel happy with and perhaps some stopping points, in other words keep the suggestions coming.
