[Juan]

was my little off without my boots...... Still off work..... still as sore as feck...... and looking like this......

sorry if your eating :ride:

[Biff]

Fark in gel - that looks sore mate. What happened?

[Juan]

Dropped the fazer at Ballaspur, just nipping into Douglas to look at a car, so didn't put my boots on...... think title of thread was Pillock of the day....

Had first shower last night... got soap in it.... feck I can dance :woohoo: :no:

[Biff]

Shit - sorry to hear that dude. There's a lesson to be learnt here.
The biker gods don't like bikers looking at cars - I think.

Hope it heals quick.

[Juan]

Never thought about that..... LOL

Cheers...... one of the right knee to make you wear your leathers...

[zeRax]

damn.... that looks mighty tender dude, what were u wearing? socks? amazing that that happened with sneakers or something, a nice slide? fuck...

[Sensei]

[Juan]

Jeez Juan.....

I guess most of us are guilty at some stage or other of "just popping down to the dairy, won't bother with the gear"..... These days I take the car for these short excursions, but have done the sneakers/jeans thing in the past for shopping trips.

Hope things are coming right.

How's the bike?

when tried to let it dry last night the pain was hellish..... so back on went the cream.. will try again after seeing the doc on friday

Bike has about £800 worth of damage... and my ins xs is £500 looks like i'll be paying for it all :oi-grr:

[Sniper]

Bugger mate. That looks bloody painful. I have had that too, just going to town, no gear ....crash ouch.

Hope it comes right soon

[placidfemme]

damn... that looks really painfull :(

Hope you feel better soon!

[Storm]

Nasty! Hope you heal up quick mate

[sels1]

Sympathies mate. I had a knee like that once, (many years ago) used to ride my little trailbike to high school in uniform (=short pants).... :no:

Thou shalt not view other modes of transport

[bugjuice]

'kin youch!!!!! mate, so sorry you're going thru that, but at the time when you think you won't need it the most, you do.. hope you don't have to go thru that again..

stuff like this makes me cringe. There's a guy that I sometimes catch up to on the way to work. He rides a fairly new scooter. Nothing too wrong with that (but he's a dweeb). Anyway, every day I see him, come hell or shine, he's wearing shorts and jandels.. And every time I see him, I ask 'what the fuck dude..', and he always says "oh, I only ride for 15 mins, nothing's gonna happen..' - in heavy congested traffic too, no less.. Come to think of it, haven't seen him lately..

[zadok]

I reckon we would have all done something like you did; not going far, so not wearing the right protective gear. I'm just as guilty. Like anything, it's alright if nothing happens.
Comiserations.

[Juan]

Thanks guys.... still my pride that hurts the most!!! it better be healed in 7 weeks or i'll be bleeding all over NZ :devil2: :no:

Off to see the docs again tomorrow..... don't think i'll be back at work come tuesday somehow... :no:

[Matt Bleck]

After reading this thread, I'm always gunna wear protective gear.

Hope you heal up well and are back riding soon.

[ZorsT]

My motorbike boots are eiser to put on than my shoes, i always wear them for short trips

[zeRax]

this thread also made me fear not wearing protective gear, but im too lazy for my own good, body is a machine too
can be repaired to a certain degree,
shit happens, hope the shit heals fast thou dude!

[HDTboy]

My ankles are still sore 6 months after an off wearing work boots, I always wear my bike boots now cause they're easier than shoes to put on

[Slingshot]

Juan, just out of interest, how fast were you going.

[oldrider]

Slingshot has asked my question too. I often do quick rides in shoes like that and jeans. Always wear gloves and hat. Have been thinking I need new boots. My old ones are about 15 years old and very light. Thank you man, sorry about your pain, good luck with healing. Think I will buy a wallet too. John.
(PS hows the bike? my teeth and arsehole are clenched tight in symathy, Ssheeesh.) :hitcher:

[oldrider]

Juan, what sort of camera did you use to to capture your pain? The pics came up real fast and were good and clear. I would like to buy one and have no idea what to get. Could you help? Cheers John. (Slowly relaxing teeth and bum muscles) No I'm not Gay.

[Zed]

was my little off without my boots...... Still off work..... still as sore as feck...... and looking like this......

sorry if your eating :ride:Ouch, I can feel your pain Juan. :pinch:

Very rarely do I ride wearing sneakers, but after seeing that I'll think twice before ever doing it again!

[erik]

Jeeze that looks sore... :crazy:

I gotta say, sometimes I feel like an idiot when I've got all my bike gear on and it's a hot day etc. But seeing those pics has reminded me why I wear it.

[Gixxer 4 ever]

Ouch Goes for gloves as well people. How often do you see that in the summer.

[Juan]

Juan, just out of interest, how fast were you going.

Speed about 50 MPH..... slid into the small hedge at side of road, down on right side of bike so it really should the outside of my foot, must of spun round under the bike...


what sort of camera did you use to to capture your pain?
The camera is only a 2 megapixel Sony DSC-U30 and set on email mode.. I use it for pit lane photos when doing pit crew duties, it is only 50mm by 25mm by 20mm in size, no zoom so only really any good for "snaps" but because of size it's great for taking everywhere with you...

Cheers, Juan

sorry if your eating :ride:

:shit: :puke: oops bits of carrot... :puke: did I forget to chew that?!

looks a bit sore there Juan - however pretty lucky for a 80kph off with minimal safety gear!

speedy recovery.

[CPB]

but im too lazy for my own good, body is a machine too

heehee, jeeeeez mate...with NZ's health system zeRax? shit can be repaired...not always fixed...I'm going on 8 months "repairing" even with full gear, bike took four weeks to repair...do the A&E teams a favour and wear the gear...they see more 'round town' nasties than anything else...
