Triton is Gone

[DeanMember]

4 days before XMAS drove down to Melbourne and picked up a Suzuki PE400 1800 + kms, Not a drama. 2 days before Xmas heading up to Kempsey to visit the folks DRZ400 in the back didnt make 100 kms when I wrote the Triton off!! :blush:

The rain was continuous,the Holiday traffic horrendous and the Fuckwits out on the rd plentifull!! some dick in front decided he had had enough of travelling 80km/h in the centre lane and swung it hard into the fast lane no indicators no warning or intent nothing,the following 3 cars who were travelling at 90=95 km/h had to brake hard and locked up, unfortunatley for me I was the fourth in line and with the fully laden Triton and DRz had no chance, I managed to wipe off most of the speed but not enough,smacked into the back of a Hilux, airbags went off putting white smoke everywhere I was disorientated and crossed two lanes eventually smacking into the end of a barrier which did the most damage. Luckily I or any others was not hurt, Police Ambo’s and towies were quick to respond. The son came and picked up my gear and I had to ride the DRZ back down the freeway to home. The Fuckwit who caused it kept driving without even realising the carnage he had caused!! Luckily I was insured and havnt had a claim for over 25 years. Just renewed the wifes rego last night and because ive had an accident in the last 5 years which was MY Fault my CTP insurance has shot up $300 :pinch: Caaaarrrrrnnnntttttsssss!!!

Yeah no worries Jeffro, the DRZ came out relatively unscathed, bent front brake lever and popped and lost the amber lens on one of the new rear indicators I just fitted.

The front of the tub on the Triton had a distinct boomerang shape to it :pinch:

yeh mate been looking at the Santa FE,nice car with the 2.2 diesel, But I think 80K is a bit too much,always look for under 50K when buying second hand.
