Me vs Car!

[Griff]

I am glad you were OK. Sad about the bike.
I got run off the road 6 years back by an off duty cop & left for dead in a similar situation. Since then I have vowed that if a car comes at me head-on, then I will do my utmost to embed the bike into the F**ker and if I can still get up, finish the job.

Crikey! Rode the Paekak Hill Rd for the first time Tuesday evening and Flame warned me that people crossed the centre line. Coming up from the Paekak side on the K7 I soon discovered she was right! At least 4 cars coming down were on my side of the road.

Crazy drivers in Wellington - think I'll stick to the Coro Loop...never happens there...

Glad yer ok!

P.s. Women Driver... Silver car. (didnt even see what type it was!)
She didnt stop, i didnt see the number plate.

Wasn't me, haven't been down that way for months! Bit poor her not stopping, for all she knew, you could have been lying injured or dying in a ditch as a result of her carelessness.

I've this type of thing so many times when driving over there - people can't seem to keep in their own lane for some reason. I can understand cutting a corner when there is nothing coming and/or you can see for a long distance, but I've had to brake more than once to avoid colliding head-on with idiots who have crossed the centreline due to speed or stupidity.

Bloody hell mate. you don't get much closer than that eh.

Don't forget that Lotto ticket.

Went and got my arm checked out this morning.

Seems that i dislocated my shoulder, but it poped back in. Would have been all well and good, apart from it pinching a nerve on the way back in!

Feels better after some stretches etc.
Will see how we go with a recovery.
Hoping it doesnt take too long. As ive got hockey on Friday night!

[Sparky Bills]

Thanx for all the well wishes people.
Much appreciated!

Im thanking the awsome handling of the bike for the miss!

[Sparky Bills]

I did turn around after i regained composure. But the road was damp and i was too shakey to push it.
Got to the lookout, but she was long gone down the hill.

[SPman]

Still pays to report it - just so long as it's on file - you never know when you might need it.

[KLOWN]

Mate I wouldve been AFTER HER!

I second that. Vigillante justice is what they should get get if they keep on driving.

good on ya for staying up right!! glad your ok!!!

The question is... would she have stopped if you'd gone flying or would she just have left you there?
You def should report it as a hit and run and keep an eye out for her.

Hey Sparky hope the pinched nerve isnt too bad, Ive been suffering from pinched nerve in my neck for a couple of years good dose of Voltaren & Panadol do wonders. Not really recommended but does the trick short term

[merv]

So who gave you that pain in the neck Pickle?

[Pickle]

Merv, Viv is going to give you the bash if there is any suggestion it is her.
Just dont mention her driving - crashed the car years ago, bridge jumped out in front of us & been having trouble ever since.

[Shadows]

Holy shite. I'm glad you avoided the unmentionable. As mentioned already by others, if I couldn't catch her at the time I'd definately be waiting up there again around that time keeping an eye out for the bitch. Get well soon bro.

hey sparky bills,

Bloody hell! Glad u are not seriously hurt and that u went and got the arm checked out.

I also join the bandwagon encouraging u to report this person and the incident. Even if u have to go to the site and wait for said person to come by that way again and get their rego number. How can a driver not see someones arm whack their pillar? She should have stopped to check if u are ok. Her actions are definitely in the wrong. She needs corrective training in her attitude and actions!

Hope the healing goes well.
