Biker Down Wellington (2)

[Paul in NZ]

Coming home over the Paekakareki Hill road. Yellow GSXR (not sure) Suzuki dead on it's side, Rider proped up on the bank chatting (but looking a bit shocked to be doing so) to kindly motorists controlling the scene and stopping traffic etc.

Didn't need Moby Dick parked across the road and tons of able assistance on the scene so i skedaddled (I'm not a nice person)

Fark. 2 bikes I've seen on their sides on that track in 2 weeks. (both Yellow) Take it easy guys! There is a ton of traffic on that road these days.

Man its soo sickening to see a bike on its side, its like Shit Hope the riders ok, and all these random things go through your head - same thing never happens for cars though, although I sheed concern I normally feel more gut wrenched seeing bikes down.

Keep safe.

[Sparky Bills]

I stopped and helped the cops with infor etc.
The bike was a k1 GSXR750, Yellow.
The rider (who i know) Is alive! But was pretty damn sore! (as you would be)
I dont know if there are any broken bones.

He came round right hander and found that there was a car on his side of the road! No where to go!!
Looked at the skid marks... No back wheel what so ever! ALL FRONT!!!!
Went for a long time too!
Straight into the bank, then bounced off onto the road.

The bike is not happy. Every panel broken or scratched, tank dented and forks will be bent to buggery.

Poor guy!!!!
Not even his fault!!!

[sels1]

glad to hear he's ok, shame about the bike. Thats not the first time a damn cage has taken out a bike on that road.

[Sparky Bills]

Thats not the first time a damn cage has taken out a bike on that road.

BEEN THERE!!!
DONE THAT!!!!
Bloody cages!!!

[Paul in NZ]

I'm damn sorry to hear that Sparky Bill.

I felt a bit of a cunt not stopping but jesus, there was like 7 cars and 30 people already....

In the short time I've been commuting that road I've seen some utter wankers driving like there is no tomorrow and yes, on my side of the road too. Fark!

I hope the prat he missed stopped (no bloody chance I'll bet)

Cheers

my Grandad did such a bin last week, he was riding my Brother in laws want to sell 750zxr and droped it at low speed breaking off the front brake lever and the rear brake pedel but not realising that the bike had no brakes carried on up the drive and could not stop as he proceeded through a fence while the rottie barked at him!
his ego hurt more than his wounds (they are minor thank God) but we love him all the same! we can fix the bike but you only get one Grandad and in his time he was the biker from Hell! I took him to the streets.Did you see the lovely in the Pub in the green outfit?

[Stevo]

Sounds as if Grandad might have been better off knowing that the brakes didn't work first! How much did ya say ya care about him????

[Redstar]

true but hes getting on a bit

[Sparky Bills]

I know what thats like.
But i dont think your a cunt, just being helpfull really. You dont want too many crowding over the poor guy.
Im sure he will be ok.
I dont know him really well, just know his name and have chatted a bit when ive seen him out and about on the bike.
I knew the bike before he bought it! I was looking at buying it before i got the R1.

[Redstar]

so your the sucker who bought my R1! well those mint fairings are because I stored them while I fitted race fairings for the season>>If you look carefully at the sump plug you will see that its drilled and secured for the circuit but hell the motor needs a good rebuild and that frigging whine from the clutch tween forth and fifth was givin me the shits> Im so glad you like it
