all good with the world ,, had my bike for six days,,,,just finsihed bolting on the new  seat and wo and fkn behold!!!! A blind woman in a 4 wheel drive pulls out directly in my path... After my life flashes b4 my eyes and i manage to peel off speed from about 50 down to 30  in about 15metres i slam into the front riight wheel arch launch myself off the bike and land flat on my back on the road!!!! HOLY SHIT

WHATS WRONG WITH THESE BLOODY IGNORANT BLIND DRIVERS OF THESE  CITY 4WD'S?????

Beats me----)) Now im left with a buggered front end and at least a month off the bike not to mention a limp and the hassles of insurance and  the anguish of having $35000.00 of  bike  damaged...

AT least im ok----just needing to VENT!!!!!

Couple Harley riders went by when i was sitting on the side of the road thought some of you local

Hey Deluxe,, if that magistrate was right hey no-one would ever be involved in an accident...
Jeezussss how the hell did he get his job??

Gav,

That really sucks, glad that it wasn't any worse.

Sorry to hear mate... as others have said 'at least your able to vent your anger'.

I bet her excuse was 'I didn't see you'!!!!

Hope you are back on the bike soon.

Certainly understand the venting. The main thing is that you are ok dude, it's a bugger about the bike though!

Typical girlie does the "oh I'm so upset that i had a motorcycle planted in my front end......I should be getting sympathy as I'm so distressed".

Gives ya the shits.

these people make me so angry,how many times they cut in front of u when u stare at them they just look straight ahead like theres nothing wrong!

Gav,

Had she had a few drinks with her mates. Your a better man then me. I would have spat it. Hope hings are better on your next ride. Buy a Lotto ticket seems you were very lucky.

Glad your ok Gav. Hope ou get back on soon.

Gav,
What a bummer, good to see you OK, hope your ride is not too badly damaged and they can fix it real soon. I know the area where you got clobberd well. There sure are some real f... wits around and it aint getting better around the Mandurah area.

Evening boys,

Thanks all for the concern. My scoots back at Buynbury today so hopefully things will be getting looked at tomorrow n parts orderd soon.

yeah Cuzzybro i know what ya mean, had a bit of a yell n a helmet throw across the intersection n felt like smashn evry window on her car and the panels but thought i could do without the extra hassles(it certainly was in my mind i can tell you that!)

Went to the local piggery and put in a report Karl so alls progressing along. Just glad to be here.

Its been years since I even had a close call and Hows This!!! Within one week of a new ride!!! Unbeleivable!!

hope u get better soon Mega too mate--

Bobtail if your riding local around there shit  just take care im going the long way next time........

I tell you what fellas....Ive currently got the quiet pipes on and thats done it fro me..NEVA AGAIN will I ride without a set of decently loud pipes...Just makes such a massive difference to drivers awareness of u on the road..Mite not have saved me in this instance but then again it may have helped.............

Ride safe

Gav

Sorry to hear about your off Gav,but glad that at least you were able to walk away!!!

One of the truest saying ever written is "LOUD PIPES SAVE LIVES" stuff what the whingeing neighbours say,as they usually only hear them as you come and go,maybe a couple of minutes at most.I have been saved sooo many times by the fact that idiots in cars and particularly vans Don't see me BUT they DO hear my loud pipes and realise someone is there and stay clear.Probably thinking SH*T that is some Mad Bastard Biker nearby better give him some room. Hope your bike comes back good as new,except for some loud pipes.
