Not a white van but a bike!!!!
 
Well,

Sitting in traffic in Edinburgh, felt my car rocking from side to side and though "mmm, someone is shoving my car", looked in drivers door mirror to see a BMW bike with the pannier boxes trying to squeeze between my car and the traffic island - he was jammed between me and the light on the island! :razz: :cuckoo:

Put my window down, looking to see if the panels were shoved in, as he continues to try to dislodge himself - I said "that'll be my car your scraping then?" folowed by "sorry mate, move your car forward" etc.
:cry: :iamwithst

Pulled in at the side of the road and so did he - I though he would have bug*ered off.

Damage not too bad - scrape on bumper, door and round the wheel arch but 95% should T-Cut out.

As it has happened to me several times before I was quite calm and thanked the guy for stopping as most would disappear, looked at his bike - it was a bit scraped on the box.

It turns out he had only got the bike less than an hour before and was not sure of the size of it - he seemed a nice guy and we discussed it and agreed that it would T-Cut out. Off we went our seperate ways - I look after the car well but after its luck I am not overly precious about perfection in bodywork.

Anything else ie Insurance claim, bodyshop etc etc is REALLY not worth the hassle, even if it had been a new WR1. :norty:

:(

Guess what I'll be doing tonight then!!! :mad:

Brian :Whatever_

BMW bikes shouldn't be allowed on the road! too wide, too ugly and too slow! just my opinion though!! lol..

Bad news mate - Let me know if it doesn't polish out. I have a relaible contact in Livi who has seen off a few scratches on my car.

Hope this wasn't a MODERATE biker enaging in retaliatory strikes on Blob eye's alter ego. :eek2:

wrxmania 18 August 2004 10:29 PM

He was very MODERATE but did not seem to have any god-like tendencies though!!

Not sure - BMW bike and that - maybe he felt the power going to his head!!

Mmmmmm :razz:

sg72 18 August 2004 10:34 PM

Think I would have complained about your MOTA. Then FA'KED OFF :p

Then? I wouldn't ride a BM.

Dougster 18 August 2004 10:39 PM

Dougster 18 August 2004 10:56 PM

Should this not be in 'bikers'?

Steve, I think it may have to be something fat and camp to get the road experience up.

SV650 or similar.

wrxmania 18 August 2004 10:59 PM

Suzuki 50 cc?

Not get a DOG on that :norty:

sg72 18 August 2004 11:01 PM

Excellent choice, mate.

Jeez! Wish I was good lookin' enough to go one of them:).

wrxmania 18 August 2004 11:04 PM

Dougster 18 August 2004 11:05 PM

wrxmania 18 August 2004 11:06 PM

Anyways. Shouldn't you be revising or something?

How was 1st day back Bri?

wrxmania 18 August 2004 11:23 PM

Yeah - aside from my car getting scraped the day passed with relative boredom and relatively no fuss.

5 minutes in the door - BRIAN HAS BEEN HERE ALL HIS LIFE :( :( :( :(

wrxmania 18 August 2004 11:24 PM

YIPPEE!!!!

sg72 18 August 2004 11:30 PM

Yeah! And the HURLY BURLY of SN. Still holds its' attraction I see.

What with the weather an' that.

(Any Scoobs, caught in the Great Lochearnhead Landslide. We should be enquiring about?)

wrxmania 18 August 2004 11:36 PM

No Scoobs I don't think. Julies mum and dad went home that way from near Killin about 2 hours before.

:(


Don't mention the weather - it will be moved to NON SCOOBY RELATED

wrxmania 19 August 2004 06:03 PM

Mondeo was it??!

Escort?!?

Or another classy model?! I had an escort before and a Focus courtesy car for 3 weeks.

Brian :D

robinH20MRV 19 August 2004 06:18 PM

hmmm
 
mondeo, turbo diesel, called stinkey as its turd brown in color! still, when the weathers ****, the good car stays in the garage :)
however when h20 (in its various guises) is out to play i have "big fun" :)

that way h20 does not get attacked by kamakazi motorcycles!!

cheers robin!

wrxmania 19 August 2004 06:21 PM

Thanks Robin

Good to know you are not attacked by bikes!!!!

Can you describe what you seen of it - were you behind me?!?

Why is it called H20 and what is the car?!?!

I runs a Nissan Primera Diesel (M Reg) for about 12,000 miles so I know where you are coming from but still do 20,000 miles odds in the Impreza a year.
