Sniff, sob, my cbr600 is gone. RIP my baby

I hope that you are feeling better soon.

I'm sure we will see you at the kart track again soon!

[Griff]

No they don't. They need shooting.
Armed police on intersections... Red light runner = BANG!
Watch it stop overnight.

I hope you recover soon.

Swoop - Lets not be too drastic here.

Perhaps give them just a warning shot in the head?

But if they DO have their heads already up their arse, then Bandit Girls suggestion is also a good one.

[Kittyhawk]

Sorry to hear about the accident.

PM me if you need anything.

Rest up well!!

*big hugs*

A warning shot in the head is fine.

Then a $150 infringement notice and 20 demerits... and having to pay for the tow truck to take the cage + body to the crusher.

Fuckin' politicians aren't going to do anything about this issue though.

Very glad you are OK. There are more Honda's but only one of you.

What I don't "get" about these red-light-runner threads (never had it happen to me)... are these people who follow traffic through the lights and keep going when it goes oranage then red, or are these people who just drive up to a light that's already red and don't bother to stop?

I can't understand how they do what they do.

Crikey, no good to hear something like that - but glad to hear you are with us and able to post about it. I know what you mean about red light runners, often where I am - I can see streams of cars behind in my mirrors when the light has obviously turned red (considering I only made it across when it just turned amber/orange!)

Well, hope you heal up quickly and have the admin come through quickly.

[granma2]

That's horrible. Poor CBR.

Get the fucker's insurance to buy you a new one

Just been having a rest, but yeah that would be lovely.

Thank you to everyone for posting your support.
Yes a gun firing a warning shot through the head is a good idea.
Kiwibike brokers are doing all the work for me on the insurance side.
They are really great. I dont have to worry.

I got to get better soon as buckets are in 2 weeks and I"M GOING TO BE THERE.

[granma2]

Sorry to hear about the accident.

CAN YOU COOK?

LOL Just kidding.

My Steve is real great.

[Nasty]

Hey Granma2 ... as Grub said total bummer .. take the time to heal those bruises ... we are thinking of ya .... and total bumemr about the bike!

[Usarka]

Well I got racing in two weeks, so I WILL BE BETTER!

far be it from me to suggest anything sensible, but did you get a concussion when you played headbanger on his windscreen? you *may* want to consider avoiding situations where you could hit your head again for 6 weeks or so.......cumulative concussions aren't fun.

[Trudes]

Sad news indeed, glad you're able to tell the tale though.

[Rashika]

bummer to hear about the red light runner... one that didn't get away with it.

I'm so over riding a bike around town, there are just too many tossers who think they are above the road rules, I dont trust any of them.
Much safer on the track...hope you are back on both bikes very soon.
Ya sound like you are on the way to improvement, roll on the akers bucket meet
You guys need a videographer so we can see just what you lot get up to in the far north

[Cache Wraith]

Heal fast. Great news that you're okay. Whens the funeral for the CBR? In Auckland, green doesn't mean go, it means look right, look left , look right then go!

[_intense_]

I totally feel your pain man, more than most others on here ;D poor cibbie, poor you, hope that the driver is coming to the party & insured etc, or at least you get a big ass possie ready to drop the hammer and distribute indiscriminate justice!!

// glad you are (more or less) ok. if your in welly anytime soon il take you for a blat to give you a little cbr therapy :

I had an accident this morning (7.30am)on my way to work.
Someone ran a red, turned across in front of me.
I hit his front guard, and went for a wee flying lesson.
The cops said I hit his windscreen with my head.
I only remember me head hitting the tarmac,then thinking, this is gona hurt.

Luckily I'm home with very sore legs and a dislocated finger. (which I put back in waiting for the ambo.LOL.)

I put my survival down to my low speed at intersections and falling off the pocketbikes we race. I have learnt to relax when I come off.

Be careful out there guys and girls.

Sorry to hear about the bike and your injuries. Hope the bike is replaced and you heal up well. I do not know what it is with people running red lights these days. I was sitting in my car at a red light, listening to the music, when a car at speed ran straight through the red light that I was stopped for. Two cars had to take evasive actions and very narrowly missed this turkey. Someone blasted their horn also and the said turkey just stuck his/her hand out the window and gave the finger. As most got the number plate and there was plenty of witnesses, hopefully this turkey will not be on the road for much longer and will be somewhat lighter in the wallet area. More to the point, hopefully the said turkey will learn from the consequenses and never repeat the stupidity that was displayed.
