The bastard nearly cleaned us up...

On Sunday Mr Kazbah's bike club was asked to ride formation for one of the members who was getting married. So picture this, 8 Hayabusas, 1 R1 and a GSXR1400 heading off to the church. The R1 was ridden by the groom - quite a sight in his shirt, tie and vest with nine of us following. Did the whole church thing and then jumped back on the bikes to lead the wedding cars to Picton.

On the freeway Mr Kazbah and I were coming up on a ute in the right lane (we were in the left lane - luckly). I noticed that he had a, wait for it, kitchen sink complete with cabinet unseured on the back. I had just hit hubby on the shoulder and pointed cos I was sure the thing was going to let loose and sure as shite the bloody thing lifted clean off the ute, flew through the air and landed right beside us, smashing into pieces when it hit. Luckly we swerved and missed it and the bike behind us did the same, cant say the same for the driver of a little Mazda who had been traveling in the right lane behind the ute, he hit the sink full on.... The bloody ute driver didnt even know he'd lost the load until we rode up beside him and yelled a few obsenities at him....

Prat coulda killed us, all because he was too bloody lazy to tie his load down. A couple of the boys wanted to stop and have a quiet word with the moron, but thought better of it... We were part of a wedding after all, which coulda turned into a funeral!!!

Glad to hear your okay Kaz. That's crazy!

I've seen a poorly secured mattress come off a tiny little two doors roof on the highway.

There certainly are some nobs out there. One of my mates had a pair of skis come off a roof of a car in front of him. They went straight thru his windsheild and into the passenger seat - fortunately it was empty at the time...

Thanks scarecrow - all it would have taken is another 5-10 minutes of this morons time to secure the thing in the back. I hope the Mazda driver reported him to the police and he gets charged as well!!

That really really really pissed me off why can't people be more responsible. The main thing is Kaz, you & your hubby & the crew are all ok.

It happen to me before, one of those council truck didn't secure the shovel & it came off, hit my bonnet & then I ran over as it fall off, damage the steering rack. Lucky it was my company car & we were only doing 50kmph at a side street, if it was on a FWY, bye bye windscreen & me.

Yep, travelling at 100 on west gate freeway coming home from work in the van, just before the bridge itself approaching the shell and KFC. monkey didnt tie his ladder down, only i didnt see it, so looked down to check speed, looked up.... ladder coming straight for my head in full flight. I swerved left and it took my review mirror off. was freaked out a bit so didnt see if anyone else hit it, but as i floored it to catch the prick he had turned off at the shell and i missed it.

So i pulled onto the grass bit, walked over to the shell where he had stopped. I was just going to yell at him but he began swearing at me as i was approaching.... how silly of me, it was my fault all alone apparently. The moron went down like a sack of shite, one good hit as i walked up, then turned back and walked to my van.

As i was walking back to the van i heard a bad grinding and turned to see a BMW pulling into the shell, front totally wiped out, bonnet buckled and all. he pulled over next to the truck and began writing down his number plate, totally ignored the fool sitting on his ass holding his face.

perfect out come, he copped a smack, and was no doubt reported and have to pay the damage to the beemer.

See, happy endings do exist.

Love your work!! I'd be happy with a busted nose to pay for my mirror... something so satisfying about that cracking noise.

Not that the club president *ahem* condones such actions

oh poetic justice is sweet

Yes I still think the boys should have stopped and had a "quiet word" with the moron as well....

hahaaha Yes, let me introduce you to my "boys", this is maglite, clublock, & flare. Now boys go & have some "quiet words" hahhaah
