    I was leaving the GP at eastern creek and was in monday morning peak
    hour traffic near liverpool when I pulled up at a red light... put my
    foot down and my leg went *ZIIIIP* straight out from the side (oil?
    diesel?) and my well and truly overloaded R65 went over on it's side...

    I tried to lift it up but the whole area around the bike was coated in
    this slippery shit... and every time I got it up a little I slipped
    again :-/

    After about 3 tries a nice motorist took pity on me and helped me and
    the two of us managed to lift it up from the other side (a nice small
    traffic jam with some honking but more gobsmacked looks and laughter had
    happened by this point...

    *Thanks to that helpful guy out there too BTW* of I'd still probably
    bloody be there...

  3. given what this place is usually like, I'm surprised anyone expects
    sensible answers at *any* time of the day! :p

  8. No, I just haven't yet made a final decision on what my next bike will
    be, but at this point the Shadow is the most likely candidate. :)

    Crooks have more rights than victims,

    you could be riding over the top of his taxi fall infront of him and he runs
    you over, your fault, yes, but you can still sue the taxi off him. of course
    being a taxi company and complete dickheads, they will give you years of run
    around, even if it was a simpple car accident.

    basically he ran into a stationary object, so his fault.
