Been there , done that. Still got all my bits and they work , sorta. ;D

Honda Super Sports.
Both vehicles write offs.
I kept the ignition cover off the Honda , looks like a Pastie and still has the points rattling around inside.

The cops put the impact at 3.2metres from the 85yo's side and 2.8m from the rider's side. The rider was probably 'legal' but the court said 'reasonable doubt'.

For safety the rider should have been hard left, buffered away from the oncoming.

My prang was exactly the same as on tv which is why I posted it. Narrow road , no lines.
In my one that drivers side wheel left a gouge for a 100 meters up my side of the road beginning just past where my bike was laying and ending at the car wheel.
Cops charged me with undue care and attention. I pleaded not guilty.
I asked the cop about the gouge and he said it was made by a tractor . ???
Judge found me guilty because I was traveling at an excessive speed and not keeping left. [ Lotta roos on that road ]
That got some strange looks from everyone in court , even the copper , because it had been proved that I was doing LESS than 80k in a 100k zone. The bike just fell over.
Then the judge fined me $200 with no conviction. Two days in court and $200 is all I get ?
Very strange . I rekon he was pissed ,as in drunk , and didn,t have a clue.
I couldn,t appeal because the fine was so low.
I was well over it until I saw that show. ;D
The old super sport must have been built tough cause it was still in one piece ;D
