Binned it....

**Disco Dan** · 11th February 2007, 16:11

Well i binned it. On my way home from wickedones' after the westpac run, going through the roundabout just after the little shell petrol station in riverhead... both wheels just disapered from under me and i slid from one side of the roundabout to the other. The bike went sliding into the opposite kurb. If you look at the pictures you will see the diesel.... farking diesel all over the road!!! arrrgghh!!

few people stopped and helped me get the bike off the road, in the time that i spent popping on 'my handy spare brake lever' a cyclist slid off and several cars fishtailed... then a bike came down... ran over to try and slow him and his pillion and they went back up the hill to warn people.

so glad my helemts fine, but draggin jeans look a bit 'holey' now...

Flipping eck... what a long day...

Cripes! I expect if it hadn't been for the holes in the strides, you'd be biffing them for hygiene reasons anyway!

Sorry to hear that mate. Glad you are ok though

Fark, bad luck man.
Wouldn't it be nice to find the prick responsible for the diesel.

Ahhh that was you on the other side of the roundabout (I turned toward riverhead). Didn't stop because you were upright. You've gotta watch those trails that just dont seem to dry in the hot sun (a sign that something is out of place!). There was a spill before riverhead township as well, which was marked by cops, now they've chucked sand all over it.

ouch... :P that is a lot of diesel.

At least you've got pics to prove the diesel played a part in your off. Glad to hear you're OK.

right hand side pipe (not the can) is completely squished from hitting the curb. So new pipe will be needed...

Yeah, and we can drag his arse through the roundabout and see how he likes it.

Disco - gutted for ya. Sorry to see the wounds on the bike. Hope you are doing okay dude.

umm no? was I meant too? A couple on their bike who I flagged down went and told the owners in the petrol station.

...and I picked up all the glass from my mirror off the road....
