[PirateJafa]

Oh you nub, that was a pretty tidy bike before you owned it.

[one fast tl1ooo]

Glad you are ok..

[Squiggles]

it'll buff out

[rustic101]

Bugger me. I hope your bike is covered by insurance, then again, weather it is or not is not that important as you were lucky to walk (limp) away moderately uninjured.. As you say thank fark for wearing the right kit ;)

You appear to have come close to going under the belly of a car and even at low speed this would not be a good thing.

Pleased you were not one of those fatal statistics.

[pocketcracker]

bring ya buffing cloth .. ill supply the boooooze ! .. get a rubbin she very very dirty ..

[pocketcracker]

Oh you nub, that was a pretty tidy bike before you owned it.

i KNOW .. crys ! ... she was my pride and joy .. im more gutted that im letting on ..

cant get a hold of insurance till monday mornin out of office hours. ... was gonan ask them to recover the bike for me as its miles away in a farmers garage * oil soaked floor now* opps sorry mr farmer.

[XxKiTtiExX]

Saw the crash pics, been waiting for you to post. Least you are alive.

[Blinkwing]

A similar thing happened to me two weeks ago.

I never realised how lucky I was to walk away in one piece and I'm sure you're thinking the same thing. :mellow:

Word of advice, keep some panadol/nurofen handy for the next day ... you're gonna feel like shit and if you don't, you're luckier than I was!

[NedKellley]

Glad you are in one piece and able to tells us all about it, you will soon be back on the road....and just to reiterate your good advice...always wear your gear!!
Hope your week gets better mate!!! :)

FULL A+ Member ..they told me .. sorry sir we dont recover bike involved in accidents we only do break down recovery .. eg, a flat tyre. WTF ! .. so told her it will b flat by time there recovery vehicle arrives LOL .. she wasen't impressed .... Opps

[MsKABC]

From my recent experience,

GSXR + diesel patch + all the gear + oncoming 4WD = sad looking GSXR + walking rider + large insurance claim

Glad you are OK.

would have been quicker to list what wasn't busted!

[Gone Burger]

Pleased to hear you are O.K Cracker (considering!!).

Not a lot you can do when you hit a patch of road like that at the wrong time. Hope you can rest up well and mend all your bangs and bruises as quickly as possible. Thank goodness for protection huh?

Take it easy bud - well done for walking away.

[Laava]

would have been quicker to list what wasn't busted!

Gsxr1000 air filter for sale. buyer to remove from wreck at own cost! Hahahahahaha!
What happened to the crackers in your pocket?

[Neshi]

that's a sad looking bike. Must have been quite a scare when you hit that patch and you felt the bike doing things you didn't tell her to do..
Good to hear you walked away with no real injuries!

[pocketcracker]

I think they went off as i felt a hot wet feeling in my pants rite after i hit the road .. kelvin thinks i pissed my self but ill blame the crackers :)~

[RiderInBlack]

Word of advice, keep some panadol/nurofen handy for the next day ..Lucky for Cracker, I had both of those with me. So he had 400mg Nurofen & 1g Panadol with the cuppa and biccie the Farmer's Wife gave him. Saw Cracker go down in my mirrors. He was a lucky boy. Although the slippery conditions contributed to him going down, it also saved him by letting his body slide.
The tar on that corner had melted in Summer. With the rain on it, that part of the corner was slicker than a freshly saved pussy:blink:

[YellowDog]

Yep, you are more important than the bike and gear, so well done on the good choices you made which saved you serious damage.

The knee doesn't sound too clever though :o

Good luck with the recovery.

[Gremlin]

well what you do that for? Seems a bit excessive, even if its a suzuki.

Glad the gear did its work :niceone: keep those joints moving

[cc rider]

I see this thread has headed south already :laugh: (and RiderInBlack... it's freshly SHAVED kitty ;) )

Well hun, I'm very glad you're still in one piece & good humour. Is a hell of a scare after seeing the bike pics.

Can someone go retrieve your bike for you? Is it far from home?

Go have a long hot bath & take care :hug:

Bugger Mate - you and Rossi both highsided this month - painful!

Pleased you came thru as well as you did.

I got screwed by the AA years ago, flat tyre on the motorway, hung up on me when They realised I was on 2 wheels.

Cancelled Membership the next day.

Oh for real ..will be sorting this out asap with AA as im not impressed !

[R6_kid]

Good to see you made it out alive and with no serious injuries.

[imdying]

Gimme the front end!

[reemit]

Glad yr Ok Bud.
Buy it back off em for peanuts and then streetfyter it! (if its not bented).

[Mom]

ps lucky you were wearing your leathers & not my pants ;)

Quite. I have seen those pants of yours, not a hope in hell of saving road rash.

Kyle, you plonker, you just killed a perfectly lovely bike :pinch:

Glad to read you are relatively unscathed and here for me to continue to give shit to.

Arnica cream works well for those sneaky bruises that take a few days to make their presence known.

[pocketcracker]

Gimme the front end!

its yours .. go get it .. front end , forks front wheel , tyre .. guard only thing not bent broken or FARKED >>

[pocketcracker]

Couple of pics of road surface today when i went to recover bike from farmers shed >>

[pocketcracker]

2nd , closer look now theadrenaline stopped pumping throw the veins she dont look pretty .

noticed the rh farings ground down into the motor and split the engine casings and shared bolts off .. simular on lh side .. all fairring broken . GOOD BATTERY :)

seems both front and rear rim buckled. MINT TIRES :) apprx 1000 kms on them grrr ! .. NEW W.O.F and REGO lol ..

[pocketcracker]

Glad yr Ok Bud.
Buy it back off em for peanuts and then streetfyter it! (if its not bented).

fingers crossed but last cartwheel down into the grasses area beside the highway may have just done that .. bented it that is , when pushing the bike feels all crabby like .. you know wat i mean lol

[howdamnhard]

Glad your okay,sorry to hear about the bike. Road surface looks treacherous, would have been just about where and when you would be opening up the throttle again.

[pocketcracker]

yup was a text book corner was wet and slippery so rolled of throttle and coasted throw the slight corner stood bike back up roll on and the rest is a blank apart from doing a imatation of a bull rider , guess i diden't hold on the 8 sec's required to get a judges score lol ..

just glade i owned full race gears .. Just pissed off that bike insurance dont cover gear ! GRRRR !

[Bald Eagle]

That looks like a bit of SH 1 . You just gotta love our quality road repair people.

[cheesemethod]

Hey dude, good to hear you're all in one piece. Real bummer about the bike, my condolences. That's a shit piece of road, I'd be sending those photos and and a few words about what happened to the council. They probably won't do anything because they don't have any money left to build roads after they blew it all on the rugby stadium, but hey, if they do listen you might save somebody else from going down on that corner.

[Antonio]

Im glad that you are ok and alive,
about you bike, its just a bike and most probabley insurance will pay
you full amount. Then you can find another baby.

Again, be happy that you are still breathing.

[pocketcracker]
