    Unhappy Crashe crashed today 16/2/06

    Latest update 3 Oct 2006: Page 10 post 146

    Pictures of my injuries on page 6 - post 87 and 88.

    Pictures of my damaged Bike on Page 7 - posts 101, 103 and 104


    Yep it happened... I crashed my bike.... I survived... knee ligaments all torn... (laterals ligaments on both sides). Bike has some damage to it... Im on crutches... no car driving for a week.. and off the bike until it is fully fixed.. BUT i will be back riding.

    So can anyone come to have a look at my baby to see what needs repairing... that would be much appreciated... PM me please.

    A pedestrian at crossing... car in front hestitated and then braked suddenly... I was braking to slow down, but had to swerve to miss the car.
    I caught the edge of the car and flew over the handlebars and landed on my chin.

    Just a few scratches to my hands and no damage done to my clothes.. but knee farked....

    the really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.

    Cool

    Cheers..... yeah the morphine is great....

    It happened around 4.30pmish today out in West Auckland..
    I believe a few bikers went past..
    They stopped and checked the ambulance and saw what type of bike it was.. but as they realised the ambo's were there they moved on...

    Big thanks to the ambos and Waitakere hospital A&E staff ...
