AGAIN....You gotta be kidding me !!!
On the way home last night on the Vespa & bang,some assehole decides to pull a right turn in front of me at the bottom of a hill...against the red light ! FFCCKKK.
Scooter is rooted again,i cant move bc back pain & to top it all off,was on the way home from the travel agents booking our flights to Australia on Saturday. I give up but it could have been worse. 2 times is enough or 3 crashes is the signal to sell the scooter? |

That really sucks. I hope you aren't too hurt by the incident, and that it doesn't mess up your trip.

Keep the Vespa, don't come back from Australia and heal soon.

Insurance is pretty much non existent here,i have so my scoot will be fixed,forks,wheel,bearings plus who knows what is all rooted.
Lucky it wasnt a car,lucky i didnt have my son or wife with me,lucky i got home in 1 piece & lucky i will be able to walk onto the plane this evening so its all good. After the first crash where the guy took off,this time i took the key from the other bike,pretty smart? One of the other guys must have started their bike while i was distracted with my pain & trying to call the police & someone. Police got there & the guys were gone.Am hoping there wont be a third time. I wont push my luck today & will take cab to work today. |

@chef, Very sorry to hear about your crash. I hope you heal up soon and everything works out OK. It sounds like riding in Bali is an extra hazardous environment.
best wishes, GA
