X-5 needs a parking assisstant

August 12th, 2006

Fallen bikes
The BMW X-5 needs a parking assisstant, because then you could avoid issues like the one shown above. My friend’s bike was reversed into by a BMW X-5 which then fell on my bike - causing damage to both bikes. I will have to start the claims procedure on monday but I’m pretty sure it will already ruin the rest of the riding season for me. Damn it. A good indication of the power was that there was a 5 cm scratch on the tarmac next to both bikes’ stands, it wasn’t a very light push.

…and yes, it was a woman. (pun intended.)

    My theory about the inverse correlation between one’s driving skills and the price of the SUV gets good support from cases like this one. Accidents can happen to anyone but some people seem to be more hazardous to the environment than the others.

    Eh? I don’t get the woman comment. But, then again, I am hung over and the brain’s not functioning.

    Rox, I thought I put it there since people kept on asking me, was it a man or a woman? :)
