Cheap K8 up 4 grabs - CU00 - 11-12-2008
Well, number 2 in the bin!!

No doubt it will be at the auction by now. The All-Trans cocksucker that smacked me, no doubt still off his face on uppers from a night of driving, reckoned he didn't see me, thank goodness needle dick saw the red light that I was stopped at cause another 5 or 10 kph and it probably would have been good night. Even though I was punch about 5 meters from where I had stopped, I managed to keep the old girl and me upright. Sadley though, the impact created a lot of hidden nasties. Both cans, headers, sub frame, rear cowl, lower fairing and tail light copped it. There was a question mark on the rear rim where the BB on truck(B double mind you)impacted it. Apparently when they were accessing it, the tyre kept loosing pressure which could have possibly meant a cracked rim. Needless to say...a write-off. Not having alot of joy with orange Busa's!

Sorry to hear about that mate. Even though it is probably covered by insurance, it is always sad to see a bike that you love go to the scrap heap.

Holy crap, bad luck mate but at least you are OK.
How can you not see 240 kilos of orange bike with a bloody great gear sack on the back that is sitting stationary right in front of you FFS????
RE: Cheap K8 up 4 grabs - BUSGO - 11-12-2008
Mark, I don't know whether you are the luckiest bastard or the UNluckiest bastard out there.
Sorry to see this happen to you again.
Maybe you better get a white one next time mate.

I'm going to mount a 4-foot pole on the rear of my bike. On top of that I'm going to put a huge flashing orange light.
what is it with people like this????????????????????
RE: Cheap K8 up 4 grabs - ross79 - 11-12-2008

DUDE! I'm sorry! What rotten luck! Are you ok, it must have thrown you around even though you managed to stay up.
RE: Cheap K8 up 4 grabs - cAstAgeAr - 11-12-2008
That sucks . . .Im thinking the truckie needs to remove the "Please drive safely" sign off the front of his rig. Glad your okay mate.
RE: Cheap K8 up 4 grabs - Missy_Moo - 11-12-2008
That's bloody awful!! Well done on keeping upright!
Grrrr truck drivers! I feel it, I had another 20% grey hairs added the other morning sitting at lights turning right. All of a sudden some truck wanting to turn left into the lanes beside me swung a little too wide. I looked over in time to see his eyes widen and he slammed on the brakes..... Dude!
Me well I shat meself and added to the grey hair collection. Cos he didn't see car he went lazy around the corner. Till he saw lil ol me. (After scare) me shaking head at him.
f***, fuckity, f***, f***, f***!!!
RE: Cheap K8 up 4 grabs - TimF - 11-12-2008
Talk about bad luck! Glad to hear you're ok.
Pity the "Please Drive Safely" sign strapped to the bullbar wasn't a bit lower, it might have cushioned the impact.

I'd reposition it, wrapped around his head.
hmmmm
or rectily inserted so to be a constant reminder of what a p.i.a he is.

Perhaps you are putting yourself in a position where you cant be seen ????
RE: Cheap K8 up 4 grabs - Legend - 11-12-2008
Its been through a couple of hands already!

No - not in this case. I was in perfect position at the lights. It's not the nicests of 4 way intersection with no cement barriers - lazy driving equals trouble there.
(I drive a big truck with lights & sirens & people still don't see me then)
He can't see my nice white bike???
RE: Cheap K8 up 4 grabs - 2wheelfreak - 11-12-2008
That sucks dude, good your ok tho. Was that an RTA person standing between bike & truck? I used to do what he does for the RTA.
Now I know this may start some arguments & I'm not defending the cowboys in the industry, but not all truckies are loons, idiots or drugged up. I drive a semi & a fire truck, my neighbour drives a b-double & rides also (a blackbird, ecck) but can't understand why he wouldn't have seen you.
K9 on the cards now?
