will my luck run out?

Postby h8_rice » Sun Oct 26, 2008 9:49 am

This could quite possibly be jinxing myself. but this is the 4th-5th prang I have got to about 30sec after it happened. and think, If I didnt take so damn long to get all my gear on while the bike is warming up I'd probably be in the middle of it all!.
I saw the truck from a fair way back just stop in the middle of the road, got closer and recognised the truck from my old work - I knew exactly who the driver would be(it was bound to happen the way that guy drives)
I usually belt through that intersection with a bit of a pucker in the ol coitus cause alot of people just don't stop (its a stop sign where the truck came from).
This should be right up the road from where cookeetree lives.
Young girl had a bit of a sore head, I Left before the ambo's got there, another guy was keeping an eye on her. and their family was on the way.
This also confirms my hatred for small, paper thin shitbox cars. My kids first car is going to be a Kingswood with concrete poured in all the panel spaces.
The truck is actually off the ground on the left hand side.
I edited out the trucks signage cause I was bored :P bet you can't guess where the truck belongs to?

Looks like she was lucky :shock: the damage is on the drivers side & it looks like it was hit hard :? as for jinxing well u know that by riding a motorcycle your risk is higher but I would suggest defensive riding & dont let the karnts hit ya.

FFFFFFaaaaaaark! Yep, that's right near my place. I go through that intersection twice a day, usually on the bike. I always slow down when I get to it.

The stop signs are east - west. Looks like the car was headed south, the truck, east.

Yeah the truck driver was heading east, and the girls heading south, the young girl driving was hobbling out of the car with glass in her feet (bruce willis in die hard style) she hit her head , probably on the truck bumper! but any faster like half the idiots who fly down that road and she'd have been a gonner.
It was hard not to be amused, as to the predicament that driver was in, he was a total wank of a driver and I was always coming across him (even after I stopped dealing with him at my old work) doing ridiculous things in that truck.
All I could say to him was "well now your in the sh!t dude".
I come down that road after midnight some nights if I do a lap past the olds property to check on things. thats like running the gauntlet!

The girl that was driving should buy a lottery ticket, to have walked away from that!
Cheers,
