    He parked it as soon as the smoke started, then stood and watched as it went up. A nearby Police car emptied an entinguisher into it, but to no avail.

    When the Fire Guys turned up, it was all over. Like, all over the road.

    One word to describe the fire? Violent. Holy cow, it melted the insulation on the overhead power lines, and a mirror on an adjacent car.

    The rider is all good.

    You noticed how shabby some of the bike cops kit is?

    I did an interview with some and my gear was in better nick than theirs.

    When I worked for the Post Office many years ago, I twanged one of their cars.... broke the steering rack on a Ford Sierra by hitting a kerb when I was distracted. The amount of paperwork I had to do was phenomenal.

    A total loss like that implies a metric shit ton of forms to fill in.

    Worry not. I'm wading through the admin as we speak. Though it's not about paper these days, it all about the electronic bandwidth that gets consumed by the online notofications we now use.

    I'll be having a look at YouTube later, when the BBQ was running there were truckloads of people there with their iPhones etc, I expect it's worldwide already.

    What do the popo do when it gets cold in Christchurch, just throw another bike on the bonfire.

    Actually sad to see as I suspect the bean counters and bike haters will make it hard to replace.

    Maybe, I'm assuming it's a lithium battery of some sort.

    I think the po po should replace the Beemer with a new Motus V4.

    Nah, just get a whole new fleet of busas and ZX14s and turbo it!

    So.... Going back to the hyperbike ownership thread...!


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
