hey Ed....I saw another motorcyclist smashed up last night, on the corner of Bluff and South.
Taxi driver did a right hand turn in front of him. Didn't look good. I reckon I stood there for nearly ten minutes mixing my 'Gatorola' powder, and, although a 'firey' and coppers were there, the Ambo took ages!!

Fricken taxi drivers. They are getting worse, I reckon.
At least it's not far to hospital from there....

I think I told yous about the dickhead I saw 6 months ago get smashed up wearing thongs, shorts and a singlet.
he "floored" his fast-looking bike from the lights, popped a mono, then got hit.
Well, I went back measured the distance on me pushy.......how fast could a fancy, big road motorbike get up to in 90 metres?....coz, he was going flat-out when he hit the car. Maybe he had a split second to touch the brakes before he got hit

I got volvoed yesterday. Soccer mum was looking for a carpark and blinked once before diving into a vacant spot, taking me along for the ride. So much for a) mirrors and b) advanced warning.
All she could offer was "Where did you come from?". I was going to explain to her about coitus and conception, but I didn't have time

Berny got his missus that beaut of a ride-on mower, I got mine a BMX bike. I think he needs to share that again.
