Myvice crash!!

[myvice]

Just a note from Mrs Myvice to say thanks to all the guys (and girls) who helped my hubby out today. He's out of hospital and pretty groggy. Pretty bad concussion and a lacerated top lip but otherwise okay!!
Poor bugger doesn't remember a hell of a lot so anyone who actually witnessed the crash would be a great help to us at the moment, he keeps going on about turkeys!!
Anyway thanks again to Mac who rang me and Quasi for looking after the bandit, glad he was with responsible riders.

[Bonez]

Ouch. Hope he's well soon.

[justsomeguy]

Well - sorry to hear about your crash MyVice.:eek5:

Wish you a super speedy recovery.:cool:

Please get plenty of :zzzz:

[stify]

good to hear he's ok, sorry didn't see anything but did spy a turkey wandering close to accident site.

[aff-man]

He was bloody lucky. Talk to alex / salex on the site he was right behing and witnessed it all. I wasn't to far behind. He was really groggy when we got to him but started to get more coherrant by the time mac got there...

As for the turky's well there was this turkey on the inside sholder of the road, only he will know why he locked up but when in doubt blame the turkey..

As for his bike it is safley in quasi's garage (big thanks to mrs pillion who rode it although quite nervous you did a stuner of a job) And all that seems wrong is damaged intrument panel,tank needs some work and either your front caliper or disk is bent.... If that ground hadn't been so soft i don't think your bike would have a front end......

Glad to hear all is ok and hopefully see you out there soon :done:

Phew sounds like you were really, really luck mate!!! Rest up and take it easy with your head. :doctor:

[Riff Raff]

Only one turkey on that ride. And it was on my friggin bike!

[Jackrat]

Bloody Hwy 22 Turkeys strike again huh. :sweatdrop
Glad he's not hurt bad,best of luck on the recovery. :drinkup:

[White trash]

Fuggin turkeys. Big ugly gobbly bastards. Hate them.

[SuperDave]

hmmm anyone remember spmans avatar of the Isle Man guy flying up over the fence!? Kinda looked like that once he hit the bank and disapeared in to the bushes

Hi Jaq,

Thanks for the update. I was riding further ahead of your husband today and a group of us were waiting for everyone else to arrive in Ngaruawahia but no-one came, then an ambulance passed us with it's lights flashing going back the way we had came so I assumed the worst and rode back to the accident site to see Myvice being escorted into the back of the ambo, looking very dazzed too...I was just relieved to see him walking, apparently he was catapulted quite high off the bike and over bushes down an embankment!

I wish him a speedy recovery and hope there are no serious injuries! :doctor:


Kind regards,

Zed

[Zapf]

dude... sorry to hear that... don't know how to say this... but I did dream of turkeys last night.

Well glad to hear no long term damage. Hope you are up and running soon.

:)

Glad to hear he's okay - didnt witness the incident but wasnt too far behind. Carl ended up up a reasonable distance from the bike, might have the KB "long-jump" record for sometime...
As ive mentioned elsewhere, Mac did an awesome job making sure Carl was looked after whilst waiting for the ambo

Bike in amazingly good nick considering.

[sAsLEX]

yes he did a very good job, speed medic has a challanger, shame he kept calling him john!? pt

[Sniper]

Bugger to hear about the accident, best wishes from down south.

[Stevo]

Yep. Second that.

[bugjuice]

not good to hear..
hope he's not down for too long, all the best for the recovery!
Take care

[zadok]

Sorry to hear about the off mate. Get well soon.

[SPman]

Sounds like a nasty one - glad he is, generally, OK! Best wishes on your recovery, mate.

[*sic]

glad to hear he is relatively ok!

wish a quick recovery!

[crashe]

Wish you a very quick recovery and that you will be back on the bike real soon.

[myvice]

Thanks to all that helped me out and to all those that have offered help and wishes.
Can’t remember a thing about the crash, just aiming between two trees and thinking, "This is gunna hurt"
I'm putting the crash down to rider error as I ether took the corner too fast or too wide.
Glad the bikes ok, it wont die that little Suzuki!
Extra thanks to whom-ever road my bike back to Quasi’s, I hope it behaved itself for you!
Don’t know where I got the turkey thing from, damn hallucinations!
Any way, I’ve had X-rays and a CT scan and after much searching they found a brain with a little bruising around it, but nothing serious.
Thanks again, ride safe!
Karl.

no shit man, there was a turkey walking around the crash site

[Ixion]

I'd prosecute the turkey. He was there, and he doesn't have a good lawyer. Flighty looking character to boot.

Sorry to hear that it aall went lavender, gld to hear that neither man nor machine are seriously broken.

[Scorpygirl]

no shit man, there was a turkey walking around the crash site

Yeah I want that turkey on the table for Christmouse dinner!!! Yum!!! :2thumbsup. If anyone runs over, it let me Mum know. She is into picking up roadkill that's not to squished. :doh: As a kid I ate pukeko, rabbit, hare, possum, duck!!! :doobey: I won't do roadkill no more :nono:

[Ixion]

Why not ? I'll have any you don't want, except the pukeko. They're vile

[myvice]

Was told today just how lucky I am!
Scary, very scary...
As in if it wasn’t for the fact I had good gear on and was surrounded by people who knew how to keep a cool head in a situation and a good knowledge of what to do things would have been much worse.
Thank you all so much.
I don’t think I'll be going on any solo rides for quite a while like I used to ether!
If you really want to know how bad, think vegetative state.
No kidding,
Thanks again,
Karl

Edit;
Found out what I did thanks to sAsLEX, too fast into a decreasing radius corner, compression lock probably added by heavy breaking, corrected a head-shake and binned it anyway! Shit happens!
Cant even blame the turkey! Other than the one riding!

[Scorpygirl]

I am so glad you are still here mate!!! I hope you are OK.

I still can't understand why some die and some walk away. Just their time I guess but it's still not fair!!!

[aff-man]

Sure were lucky mate i still don't know how ya managed to miss the tree and the fence and the hole shibang.....still say you should get a lotto ticket:yes:

The worse part of it was if alex hadn't been following ya..... neither you nor the bike were visable from the road......had to hike a fair way to find you in that nice soft bed you landed in. :blink:

Once again Mac should be praised... hell i'll even buy him a beer:yes:

[Scorpygirl]

Why not ? I'll have any you don't want, except the pukeko. They're vile

You are not wrong... they are all sinew!!! Gross!!! :angry: Mum made them into stew but it was still gross!! :thud:

[sAsLEX]

gets me thinking about what could be done to rectify this.

1.whats simply seen and would get attraction from everyone nearish even if you were hard to be seen, ie hiddden in a bush

2.and how would you set it off

maybe a smoke marker, bright day glo orange style of thing, that goes off when the bike is on its side and the front wheel aint spinning?

[inlinefour]

hope all comes well soon and your not out of pocket after the experience. Get well dude!

[WRT]

Firstly - Myvice - glad to hear you are going to be alright, sounds like you had a close call there!

sAsLEX - That sounds like a good idea, wonder what it would take to get it put into production?

And Scorpy/Ixion - I've gotta recipie for ya, and its nice and easy. Simply boil the Pukeko with a rock in the pot, wait until the rock goes soft, then chuck out the bird and eat the rock. And that would be about as tender a meal as you'll get from a Pukeko.

not too much, a simple mecury switch or something could detect the fallen on side thing and have a simple counter to count for 30 odd secs in case of a simple driveway drop, and then finding a smoke thingo that could be set off with a small electric signal

dont really know how effective it would be in real world though, was just a thought

Wouldn't a safety tether be easier to implement?

It could act as both a kill switch, and would allow, after a suitable delay for a smoke marker to be released.

[Darryboy]

Never met you Myvice but glad to hear you're alright all the same.

Smoke flare sounds like a good idea but how hot do they burn? You wouldn't want it going off if your gas tank had ruptured or if you had landed amongst some dry scrub. (That is if they would cause a problem).

[chickin]

Glad to hear you're doing well Karl - I was the one who was lucky enough to ride ya bike back and she did behave !! thanks to the KB's who escorted me knowing it was only my fourth time on the road. and really nervous .. I did give you a bit of a hard time whilst holding you up while Mac was doing such a great job taking care of you - even in your state of discomfort and groggeyness you were still able to make us laugh !!! Look forward to riding with you again and I intend on STAYING 2up next time ok !!

[sAsLEX]

boring old school technology! but yes an option the time delay could be linked to a siren/horn so when you unplug at a petrol station you have say 30 secs to get it back on!

true

[aff-man]

You can get chemical signal nowdays that don't actually burn...



Hahahaha just a thought you could have a flouro paint bomb strapped on the bike somewhere.... make a hell of a mess but you would be seen.

I'm thinking about getting an emergency radio beacon thats used in flying boating tramping and carrying it with me on the bike or maybe on me They are $300-350
