Brass Monkey dilemma

[dutchman49]

Well done, nice outcome good post but what about the brick left in the road?

Police do not "seem" to pay enough attention to the crap that is being left all over our roads!

The state of the roads caused by other errant road users is a bloody disgrace.

Roads are contaminated with stock effluent from cows etc being driven on the road.

Trucks are dropping it everywhere, diesel spillages, firewood dropped and now, as in this thread, a bloody brick!

ACC charge us motorcyclists more and more but nothing seems to be done about the bastards that cause most of the problems that knock us off our bikes.

Two of my mates got their bikes written off , because of a diesel spill, just this week end.

Enough is enough. C'mon Police, clean up our bloody roads. John.

I'm quite sure Dave would have beaten the brick to a pulp. We travelled from Hokitika to Haast dodging stock effluent dropped by some lazy arsed truck driver. He could have pulled over anywhere and disposed of it. Afterall it is just grass shit.

nice to know who you guys deal with for insurance. Was going to get it for my ride, but seeing as im upgrading, ill wait til my new wheels are mine.

Like everyone said well done to Vero and Dave Anderson Motorcycles.
Hope you all had a great time down here in the main land and didn't get too wet at the Brass.

As usual, had a fantastic ride. The BRASS ride is unique, and a challenge to any biker. As for sitting around a fire in an open paddock when its pissing down.....well its all just part of it. Roll on BRASS '09. 360 sleeps!!!!!

Sorry, the brick is stuffed, and wasn't covered by the insurance. Do you want it anyway ?

I thought that after the EQ only the MM lived in Edgecombe. But, youre not one of them, no tatoos. Maybe a faint "wanker" written across your forward.

I've heard those Andersons can be pretty fast.

Bloody good job by both dealer and insurer! That's an efficient repair I must say. Good to know that my beast is in good hands with Vero.

I agree, about time to take this international!

Sweet merciful jesus. Are those guys on KB? mass bling sending gets my vote!

I met dave for the last couple of hours of his ride back to Akld. No sign of the bastard brick, but the wheels and tyres are now looking second hand. Good work by all who keep him going. I have a claim with vero after my 4burger received a punt up the c@#t. The only negative comment re Vero is poor communication but most importantly the claim was accepted promptly and repairs are under way. Vero = recommended.

I've lost count on how many truck retreads seem to be on the roads too. It's where the whole tread has come off. Nearly got killed from one them a few wears back that came off a milk truck.
There but the grace of God or my case a second or two and a few yards on I'd not be here.

Mate you guys should live in the Naki region at the moment,the gypsy shifts are on,that is when the local farming community shifts farms,usually lock,stock and kitchen sink.We can get the farmer doing the old time honoured droving along to the farm,if in close proximity.As you would expect the odd bit of shite,mind you from here on it is not so bad,and with the rain it washes away quickly.

You can't blame the trucky for all the effluent,sure they have tanks,but there isn't many dumps,and or they don't have the time to empty(at this time),between loads.The cockies could help by putting the animals on a no feed regime the night before,so they are empty when picked up,means they crap on the concrete of the yards or races by the loading area.

To say the truckies are busy is an understatement,when the exodus of cows and cockies shifting to Southland from here,I knew of a driver doing 3 trips to the ferry in Wellington in one day,each trip took about 7-8 hrs,he would load in Hawera go to Wgtn & return,load & return,the last trip another guy loaded and he left after catching 2hr rest whilst the truck was fuelled,and stock loaded,took some magic work on his logbook,but he had 4 days off on his return.

I hope the brick was forensically tested for dna etc....need to catch the barstard that carefully placed it on the road!
