Bike knocked over by GREEN HONDA 4WD with CUSTOM PLATE in KARORI

[CookMySock]

I thought I was being responsible, because it meant there was space for another car to park, whereas if I'd parked in front of the SUV then noone else would have been able to. Won't be doing it again [...]

Yeah just look after yourself bro. No one gives a shit when you try to do the right thing, and no one gives a shit ALSO when your nice bike gets munted - sad but true.

All this "trying to make the world a better place" crap gets tiring when it backfires on you time after time. I have to learned to lie and cheat to stop people taking advantage of me. Fuck them - look after number one, and a few select people who care about how you feel. The rest can go to hell.

IF you ever get a ticket write a letter explaining why. If its not right in the city they may let you off. It will help if you can send them a photocopy of any bills for repair work.

talking about parking tickets.... if anyone remembers where i used to live... in newlands, yeah a parking warden drove up to that side street and started handing out tickets!!!! WTF?...

sorry off topic

[buellbabe]

Yes. Will not be doing this again. I thought I was being responsible, because it meant there was space for another car to park, whereas if I'd parked in front of the SUV then noone else would have been able to. Won't be doing it again, parking on the footpath and getting a ticket beats patching up the bike AGAIN.

Bummer buck...sucks! Unless you can locate the vehicle and it has damage matching the impact with your bike then there ain't much you can do...been there...

As for the parking thing? hey if I'm with a group of bikes then we all cram into one parking space but if I'm on my own I proudly park bang smack in the middle of a parking space. If a car driver has an issue with that then too bad. Tell someone who gives a shit.

Soooo just finished patching my bike up after I damaged it a few week ago, parked by Karori shopping mall just now (an hour ago), come out and it's been knocked over and damaged AGAIN. Witness said it was the car I had parked behind, which we both remember as being a green Honda four wheel drive with a personalised plate - but neither of us got the rego. Woman just drove off. My mate thinks he saw that vehicle over in Northland a few minutes later.
If anyone sees this vehicle or it sounds familiar, if they could PM me the rego that'd be great - I'm pretty sure if I saw it I'd remember.

That'll teach me for going to a quiz night instead of the wednesday night ride...

What a bummer! Sorry to hear that

Just start doing what WE should all be doing by NOW, use a whole car park, get the general public used to not having it! it's bloody yours and you may well have to pay 5 times as much for the privilage.
DB is right. Don't park behind cars, it's an open invitation for them to use their favourite line " I didn't see them officer".
Sorryr you've got a damaged bike again, but please keep out of their way next time.

It must be a sad life being so twisted and bitter about the hand life dealt you.

You should try reading some "positive pick up / self improvment" type books - would do you world of good !

Oh ta. I think I am better off to forget all that shit and quit wasting time and take what I want. I find that cheers me up real good!

FFS - you ride a Ho'Bag - aim higher in life.

Back to the OP thread.

Hope you catch the guy - Im super careful where I park and go to great lengths to make sure that im in a position where nobody will open doors on it, reverse over it, or where it can be knocked.

Its a pain - but that extra few mins can save a ton of heartache.

[The Stranger:Me]

Well at least you are sorry.

Badda bing !


But he does have a point.

Another new sig - "I am Tank, I agree with dangerousbastard, no point in repeating what he said."

That poor fucken riding instructor being constantly reminded of one careless moment. Bet he never makes that mistake again.
