    Glad you're ok there Waspy! Bummer, but sounds like the bike's not too bad, I don't think you (or us) could handle you been off the road again for a long period of time. Do tell us all about it when you can, chin up matey.

    It does seem like a lot of accidents are happening at the moment. Glad you're ok. I nearly got knocked off again this morning. Some idiot decides to pull across the road, decides then not to, then decides to pull infront of me, then decides they have seen me and slam their brakes on when they are half way into my lane. Jesus, some people.... Luckly i saw it coming and gave them the middle finger and kept going.

    Ah, gads....anyone think it's time to stop bending bits??
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Well actually, is it that a lot of people are binning at the moment? Or is it that people just bin a lot on motorcycles all year round? If not, then wonder what is causing such a high motorcycle binning rate at the moment? The weather?

    Shit, not again. It's almost like these motorbike things are dangerous. On the bandit, I imagine?

    well i dunno..... when i binned it in october that was at about 8:15am and i posted at about 8:45, this time acident occured at 8:25am and i posted at 9:55, this time its more me and less bike

    ok, so

    it was the + intersection of Cornwall St and Raroa Rd, I stopped to turn right into Raroa, the other vehicle (yes it was a 4wd/suburu forrester if you must know but no slagging 4wds in here) stopped at the give way to turn right out of Raroa and into Cornwall, I proceeded as did he at the same time, front of the 4wd collided perfectly with the right side of the bike and the bike fell on its left with me in a spiderman pose over it

    Fortunately the 4wd didn't have bull bars so the main injury to me is my leg where the bumper smashed into it, just a big bruise and fluids collecting underneath according to the doc

    a workmate saw the whole thing happen and pulled up straight away and helped me out

    The guy driving the 4wd was really great, he jumped out straight away too and helped my workmate pick me up and move the bike out the way, chatted for a bit then moved his car into a park and we exchanged details, then pushed the bike down the road to my works garage with me riding on it

    then as i said, went to the doctors instead of a&e then did the police thing, still waiting on my insurance broker to call me back as he was busy/had visitors/in a meeting

    thanks for the kind words guys

    damage to the Bandit, well - it was hit on its right hand side and fell on its left so damage is typical with a drop on both sides

    left mirror and metal strut needs reaplacing, something up with the right indicator, clutch lever broken. probably more but havnt had a look yet, doubt full it will get written off (damn)

    Damage to the 4wd

    front bumper dented and number plate holder broken, front grill dented, bonnet/hood dented - all these have black scuff marks too and the dents are surprisingly big - probably atleast $500 in panelbeating?
