My Mates Bike After Being Hit By An Mr2

[ricomr2]

My mate Kal was hit at 70mph by an out of control MR2 tubby which sent him

20 ft in the air and destroyed his bike.

The mr2 clipped his back wheel which bumped the bike into the air.

When it landed he recovered it but the fuel cut was activated and the bike stalled.

The mr2 by this point had completly lost control and spun,

and then clipped him again.

He could do nothing to save it so he jumped away from the bike

( i guess this is why he got off so lightly)

before it hit the central reservation followed closely by the mr2 which also hit the central reservation. both the car and the bike are write offs

He was lucky to walk away with a few bruises and a broken collar bone.

[Jimlad]

not good !!... at least he's sorta ok.

Those pesky tubby drivers !!!... lol

another good point.. at least he still has his MR2 to drive about in. Might look a bit daft sitting in his leathers in it tho.

[ricomr2]

He's not even got them anymore cos they had to cut him out of them :(

The guy driving the tubby was charged on the spot with dangerous driving and his car was a write off. no pics unfortunatly

[jaxx]

ooh nasty!

glad to see hes ok!

my younger bro hit a van on his bike early last week and ended up with bruises and a punctured lung

very very lucky at 70! very lucky!

[ricomr2]

A guy coming in the opposite direction said he passed him in the air so fast it was like he was in a car... scary stuff, I couldnt believe he was standing telling me the story when i saw the bike.

The pics dont do justice to the amout of damage done.

Moral of the story... Look for bikes before you pull out to pass.

[Liam_GTR]

holy fooook. is that the same bloke with the white MR2?

[ricomr2]

One in the same mate.

[EarL]

*OUCH!*

Glad to hear that he's ok.

All Kawasaki's should look like that!

...only kidding!

[ricomr2]

The hospital are going to put a pin in his collar bone because its not healing properly so more pain to come

[EarL]

Poor geezer...

[ricomr2]

Yep, but as jim said, he's still got his mr2 to kick about in...

I take reports of Motor Insurance claims as my Job and bikes are always in bad accidents. I took a report of a really bad claim today, the insured I was speaking to was lucky to be alive!

[ricomr2]

I dont think he realises how lucky he was.

He's more bothered about when when the insurance will pay out so he can get another bike.

[jerry phipps]

Your mate has got 9 lives. From the amount of damage done to the bike he should dead. Hope your mate recovers very soon.

jerry!!

[Chuck04]

Tell him I've got a nice Suzuki GSX-R 1100 for sale!

[Nick-Johnson]

Motor Bikes = Death Wish

Sorry they are just so dangerous, I wouldnt ride one if you paid me, give me a quick car any day! Hope he recovers very soon

ur mate must have crapped himself when all this was happening! v lucky to be ok, wish him well, and tell him to clean his leathers :D

edit> ****??? i only said j e e z

[ricomr2]

I'll pass on all your well wishes. Cheers folks

Tell him I've got a nice Suzuki GSX-R 1100 for sale! 

This was his first bike so i dont think he's quite ready for an 1100 yet...

But i'll tell him :D

[Rash@R.A.Motors]

Foookin hell...!

all i can say is glad i sold my gixxer now....

was going through the A65 on the weekend (past Skipton - Kirby Longsdale etc)

and the amount of bikers i saw doing some very dangerous speeds/manouvers on them country roads..... :o :(

Rash.

[ricomr2]

I dont think some bikers realise how dangerous bikes can be.

9/10 car drivers probably dont look for a bike when they pull out of

junctions or the like so they really need to concentrate hard.

I love bikes but i would never have one

[Chyownster]

Yeah saw some in manchester over tooke me at i recon about 150-160mph. The car rocked loads! And there were about 5 of them!

[GIDDLEPIN]

I've always had cars.

At least we've got coffins built round us!
