    Cruser meets Van

    so im riding dow Gt North rd in the bus lane, doing everything perfectly legal for a change and im just coming up to moa rd when heading in the opposate direction is a van that happens to decide to turn into the space i am about to occupy, all i can think as im breaking and swerving to try avoid it is "Oh no, not again".
    i dont remember the actual impact, but the next thing i know im throwing myself off the ground befre i have stopped rolling down the road yelling my head off. fuck it was funny

    anyway, this is the damage XD i was impressed

    Interesting how the fork has actually snapped.

    Clearly you're pretty much okay - you/the van driver got insurance?

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
