you make it sound like people are supposed to be proud of their crashes. It aint a badge of honour man. Hope you dont find out the hard way.

Remember the guy who likes to video himself on this site and seems to think its ok to pass between on coming vehicles.

Just a matter of time.

Yeah. That'll teach me for stopping at a one-way bridge.

Next time I'll just wheelie past the oncoming car who has right-of-way, and knock his wingmirror off as I go, whilst mentally preparing my "fooking cagers" thread that I will post later.

Nah mate, I'm saving my pennies for RM's auction. S'long as you don't outbid me - I know you Honda riders... ;)

There's too much talk and not enough pics in this thread. 'Bout par for the course on KB I guess.

LOL...I can top that. Pity I dont have the pic anymore, but it was also a gsxr and it was upside down 5 meters down a bank nearly hung in a tree. Not my bike either, was someone else who was a KBer.

At least in the Adventure bike thread a crash is more likely to be a minor mishap resulting in little or no damage and alot of laughs for the witnesses as opposed to a helicopter flight and months in hospital :lol: . Keep them coming I wanna see those trashed road bikes.

faarrk! thats just nasty:doh:

He became "tangled up" in the vehicle's wheels and was decapitated and lost both of his legs – as the entire scene was caught on film by Bowden behind him.

Well that is how new GSXRs are made...you plant them

So if I dig a big hole and drop the K5 into it, in a few months time a nice new K9 will appear out of the soil?
Can someone lend me a digger?

But didn't do very much to prevent that outcome.

Here's a few pics from my accident 13 June 07

Not much can be done when you are traveling at well under the speed limit with headlight on during the day & an 18 yr old girl decides to pull out on you, last minute :bash:

Only one thing to say....

LOUD pipes save lives :whistle:

Geez dude...The bike looks like it scared itself shitless..with the bars up in the air like that.
I bet u did as well....cause I know I fucking would of.

Didn't have time for anything let alone being scared. She literally pulled out on me a nano second prior to me passing the T intersection. The experts reckon I was doing between 70 & 80km/h in a 100 zone. I gripped the bars & bent the bastard like that prior to doing a superman dive over her bonnet landing about 20 feet away. Dislocated a thumb in the process too lol.

Twas a very lucky lad it wasn't worse than it was, just 9 pins & a titanium plate for life.

Hence why all three bikes ive had since are loud, people bitch n moan at times about how loud this current one is but fuck it I say :oi-grr:

Leyton

Pretty much :)

Needs new right indicator though, apart from that it is just cosmetic, Oh and needs the bracket fixed under the fairing.

It is at the bike shop getting assessed anyways I just have to take it easy :( Sore ribs. Had my first ride in a REAL ambo hehe might carefully drive out there before it gets dark just to see what I can see.

I visited the place where I kissed the road and it was neally to slippery for me to walk on...

The seal had smoothed and rounded off to the point where it was useless.

Was that the one I had to come and fish out of said tree with the help of a passing ute?

Another one I had to fish out, literally, Why I stopped riding with 250's who try ride beyond thier skill...

Over a time span of 14yrs have had 7ops and it's wait for artificial elbow technology to make something thats going to last long enough that I wont end up with a arm fused in place by the time I'm in my 50s. It's permantly broken & dislocated (the ulna shaft fracture is a non union and the radial head is dislocated) :doh:

That was the one mate. Took patricks bike back to Eddies place. 250 rides...at least they keep you entertained. I stopped doing them when 5 new riders all crashed on the same corner one after the other because they got target fixation. Shit just gets tiring to be honest.

That's still serious enough though bud :yes:

My one, I eventually broke the plate and then my body started to reject it and the end came out through the elbow :sick: had a smaller plate fitted for 18mths then had that removed then K-wires fitted :shutup:
Got the X-rays of the broken plate somewhere and still got the metalware trophys too :yes:
Always remember one of the nurses at waikato hospital saying how lucky I was :blink: she reckoned if I been there 5yrs earlier with the same injury the arm would have been amputated above the elbow :bye:
