On the old road today. looks like i missed a few of the ozmo's

Any way heading home going south up the twistys just before
Pie in the sky i was following this guy on a Kawasaki doing the speed i was happy with  the speed limit ,i was in lane one the lane closest to the kerb so if any one wanted to pass.
And the Kawasaki in  lane two  centre lane just ahead.

All of  Sudden he hit the ankors and turned into my lane to turn of the road in to the car park bay thingy,regulars will  know were it is.
And i clipped the back of his bike and flipped it i was luck enough to stay up and continue a bit and turn around hoping i didn't kill him.
Turn around and he was on his feet :o
He said he wanted to stop and look at the view and have a smoke [roll]
His bike was totaled and he had a few bruises ,wearing full leather.

I was pissed well pissed off new tank and respray less than 2 months old, dented, smashed headlight, front guard trashed
and a few love rubs here and there but luckily i held it up, came so close to T Boning him
And some bark of my left shin and fingers the cf gloves saved my fingers, lots of green paint on the gloves .
And he has no insurance [roll]
It will cost him big time.
Just be down to file a police report as they weren't called to the scene.
Even though i clipped him i belive he was in the wrong.  :-\

And the the lecture im getting from the missus is more painfull than smashing the bike [bow_down] [bow_down]







Cable tied to get home all keep them handy




Offending bike all smashed he had to get pcked up.

lack of indication will have him, you're insurer will chase him down, that's why you pay em!

No insurance......idiot!

Hope the bike gets better, I think I've got a spare black front fender if your insurance causes you problems! frickin frick!

Mr.S2R

wow man that is a lucky escape! glad you're ok! [thumbsup]

+1 with Spider - if he cut across you without warning from another lane...

Hope your ride is fixed quick!  Insurance should be a must nowadays...

I actually thought that 3rd party (not comprehensive) was a legal requirement.

couple months ago I denied a home loan to a man who was paying QBE for driving uninsured, my argument was lack of character (that's work talk for F#ckwit) and lack of foresight could cause financial issues.

Thanks for offer of the guard Spider.
Yeah here in NSW 3rd party property damage is not compulsory
And i suppose  people think they wont do to much or cause  to much damage on a bike,
well they should think again he could have totaled my bike, then it will cost big time :o

Buy a lottery ticket Rob.. Glad to hear you're okay mate.
As they say, any acco you can walk away from.... (Old mate on the kwaka sounds like a lucky SOB.)

Hope the lectures stop soon too mate.. The ringing in the ear can last for weeks after an accident like this.

Hi. I’m Troy McClure. You may remember me from such self-help tapes as “Smoke Yourself Thin” and “Get Some Confidence, Stupid!”
NYTimes: "...highlights of his global tour include encounters with Nelson Mandela, an 800-year-old demigod and a dildo collector."

Sorry to hear that Rob. As others, very glad to hear that you are OK. It could have been a whole lot worse.

Sounds like the bike is bruised, but not out, so that's a positive as well(small one, but hey...). Hope you're feeling better soon - when the "ringing in the ears" settles down!

Good to hear all is ok! [thumbsup]

There is a big difference between

"Car Drivers That ride Bikes" [roll]

and

"Bike Riders That Drive Cars" [clap]


Car drivers that ride bikes will use the bike with the same gay abandon to signaling, observation and skills that is used in the tin top. [bang]

Seems like the Kwaka rider is more a car driver after a stunt like that!? [roll]
