A little off topic as it doesn't involve a bike (fortunately)......
In Albany on the weekend, 3.00pm Sunday afternoon. Outside the Bayonet Heads cemetary (appropriate location - huh?).
P-plater in a hotted up Commonwhore (recent model - where do these young guys get the money?) minus a drivers side front wheel, and lots of qtr and door panel damage. The guy had been smoking it up on a straight road not far from a bend, and by the looks of things a lady had come around the corner and been hit by this guy almost head-on, - just passing drivers door to drivers door, as he fishtailed it around the place. Made a mess down the side of her little car, and really stuffed his own car (hit the front tyre as it was sticking out at full right lock?).
Cops and tow-trucks in attendance and no-body hurt luckily. I hope the P-plater learnt his lesson this time. A good fright early on in your driving career does wonders towards recognising your own potential mortality.
Time and Place !!!
