How To ruin a weekend (Part the second)

Arse! It fucking happened again. **** in a minivan pulled out right in
front of me while I was making a right-hand turn. The bastard looked
right at me and pulled out. Vision around the corner is partially
blocked by the traffic signal control box so I didn't see the fuckwit
till I was almost through the turn. I lowsided and slid a bit with the
bike on top of my right leg. I wasn't able to get upright enough before
I braked.

Lots of nice people stopped to help, all except the **** in the van. The
coppers and fire arrived, cut my 700USD Stadler trousers off me leaving
me laying flat on my back in my boxers. It was about now that I was told
the **** in the van left the scene and I went mental. I so want to kill
the bastard.

I had a ride to casualty in the ambulance as my leg was hurting like
****. B met me there, I had x-rays which showed nothing broken and had a
ride home wearing the ugliest pair of shorts ever (donated from the
hospital).

The bike is rideable though a bit scarred. Bent rearset, bent rear brake
pedal, the fairing is scratched to **** and the knuckle guard has a bit
of road rash.

 

These?

 

clumsy ****.

Arse indeed. And it's always cunts in minivans or pickup trucks, isn't
it?

Anybody got his number plate? I can see the cops taking a slightly dim
view of that sort of behaviour...

They were probably happy to get rid of the shorts. GWS etc...

Ouch. GWS - hope they nail the shit

 

Moral: Hit it harder next time

Has anyone had that .doc file sent to them with the bike *inside* the
car yet ?

I missed the bit where you drew your .45 and popped a cap in his ass.

 

I think we need a better description of the accident before allocating
blame,
with particular reference to
"Vision around the corner is partially blocked by the traffic signal
control box so I didn't see ...".
And a reference so we can see the crime scene on Google Earth.

 

Eiron wibbled:

Which bit of the "**** in the van left the scene" didn't you get?

 

The bit that makes it relevant to the accident.

 

I couldn't reach the tankbag from where I was laying.

 

I don't quite know what to say. I saw the van, sky and ground in quick
succession. The van was no where to be seen.

 

<fx: Nige: I'll hunt the bastard down and kill him>

 

Well Chief Inspector, I'm taking the Fifth see...

But here is the scene of the crime

37?21'41.50"N 122? 1'29.14"W

 

You mean the bit where he was looking right at me and pulled out anyway?

 

I doubt it.

 

I'd rather have an Abrams.

 

Seems to be.

I don't really know. I'll go for a copy of the report in a day or two.

I'm going to send them back. TVM.
