my 160 kph crash....

[ducatilover]

my day was very eventfull my ride lasted 4minutes and 1 crash.... iwas heading down a straight just out of eketahuna towards pahiatua and was gaining on a cage quite quickly... so theres this nice lonnnnnnnng corner ahead and a great grass verge, so in my 2 day old leather jacket and new jeans i speed up to 160 to pass said cage, thats all fine and gravy, i pull out and theres no cages coming around the lonnnnng corner and i accelerate from 160 a wee bit, as i am beside the cage i hit some corrugations in the road.....and my bike packed a huge wobly dropped on my now barely working leg and decides to carry on passing the car on its side....so natualy i fly through the air and bounce spin roll and do general gymnastics untill i hit a farm fence post, break the friggin fence post continue down the grass verge and just for good measure hit the fence again and break that too, roll for a while,bounce on head and stop in a pile 60 somthing metres down the road. all the gymnastics happened on grass fortunatly. i must be the luckiest guy around to survive a 160kph crash and walk away, if i was wearing my codura jacket my back and ribs would be getting glued back together. my bike is pretty fucked as logic would say, but its mainly cosmetic......so now i have a very badly bruised body and one stuffed bike and a very bad experience in my hands.......i dont have insurance.....and there musta been something wrong with the bike too do that:blink: i will not be put of bike though. i cant believe i survived, thanks to the bikers that stopped to chek up on me:yes:

[WINJA]

IVE HAD 3 ACCIDENTS AT WELL OVER 200 KMH AND NOT BEEN HURT , THE ONE THAT HURT THE MOST WAS AT ABOUT 30KMH , ITS THE LUCK OF THE DRAW SOMETIMES , GREAT THAT YOUR OK , WHAT BIKE YOU GETTING NEXT?

[Zed]

Far out that sounded like a serious accident! Glad you were able to walk/stagger away and return home to write about it. I hope you get yourself thoroughly checked out and back to good health soon! Sorry about the Bros650.

[sels1]

You are one lucky camper. Your time was obviously not up. Hope the bumps and bruises heal quick and good luck getting the bike fixed.

[ducatilover]

its gonna take a while and money i dont have. i cant get to work/ my course cos i got no transport, this sux donkey dick:angry:

[marty]

fuckin hell. you've had that bike like what, 2 weeks - you're like what, 16? and on a learners? no wonder our Acc/registration/insuarnace is so high

[DemonWolf]

Good to walk away from a crash.

[ducatilover]

fuckin hell. you've had that bike like what, a week?
two weeks and 1 day:crybaby: :bye: i am so fucken pissed:mad: shit happens eh?:mellow:

[marty]

and you're like what, 16? and on a learners? no wonder our ACC/registration/insurance is so high, and our profile is so poor.

[marty]

two weeks and 1 day:crybaby: :bye: i am so fucken pissed:mad: shit happens eh?:mellow:

no - it's karma. you couldn't handle it, and you crashed. it's just lucky you didn't hurt anyone else.

[ducatilover]

and you're like what, 16? and on a learners? no wonder our ACC/registration/insurance is so high, and our profile is so poor.
yeah sorry dudes:blink:

[enigma51]

Mate dont worry about at least you are fine and have learned something from the experience. Bikes can be replaced and acc can get topped up from the taxes we paid!

[skelstar]

Hey, hes suffered a bit already today.
Im so sorry to hear about your mishap DL...I know you were humming about your new bike. Unfortunatley for you your mistake cost your bike. Lucky for you it didnt cost your your health. Take this as a lesson and save up for another bike and some insurance next time dude. Good luck with your job and stuff.

[enigma51]

and you're like what, 16? and on a learners? no wonder our ACC/registration/insurance is so high, and our profile is so poor.
Give it a rest mate I know what you saying but it aint making things better by giving the poor guy a hard time I think he feels bad enought already

[ducatilover]

yeah, i dunno what i'm gonna do, might get the old man to help me out he's good being a fellow biker. if i get it back on the road i'll be more carefull:nono:

[dveus]

Give it a rest mate I know what you saying but it aint making things better by giving the poor guy a hard time I think he feels bad enought already

And he should feel bad. How would you feel if you were in the car that was narrowly missed by a bike sliding down the road at 100mph. I'm all for riding like a complete fool at times but its learning to choose those times that is really important.

[skelstar]

yeah, i dunno what i'm gonna do, might get the old man to help me out he's good being a fellow biker. if i get it back on the road i'll be more carefull:nono:
Mate, just make sure that when you get back on the road that you are there long enough for me to be able to meet you huh? I find your enthusiasm (sp) refreshing here on KB.

Its a pity that the first lesson some have to learn is done at 160km/h and not at 2km/h like my first one in the driveway :).

[rudolph]

What did your mum say? :nono:

[thealmightytaco]

The right corrugations at 160k and your bike'd definately throw a wobbly I'd say, especially if you're in a corner. Good you're okay but yeah, there's a reason they have speed limits, silly bugger.

[TonyB]

.....and there musta been something wrong with the bike too do that:blink: .... i cant believe i survived
Simple logic dictates that any bike named after an incredibly dodgy pop group will be equally dodgy.

Great to hear you are relatively OK.

[ducatilover]

What did your mum say? :nono:
not much but she was happy i didnt kill myself.....my bros is limited to 180 and it does that pretty well, not anymore though...

[enigma51]

And he should feel bad. How would you feel if you were in the car that was narrowly missed by a bike sliding down the road at 100mph. I'm all for riding like a complete fool at times but its learning to choose those times that is really important.

yeah, ill have to come down to see you when back on two wheels.....

[M1CRO]

So glad to hear that you walked away from it (so to speak).. Just wasnt your turn.. Chin up, and learn from it :rockon:

[scooterboynz]

going into a corner at 160kph plus on a bike with cold tires !
twat!

[scooterboynz]

but glad to hear you are ok

[zadok]

Far out, what a off! Glad your still in one piece. The cage driver must have spun out (figuratively speaking).:blink:

[shadow]

ACC/registration is so high,

when you goto hospital they dont ask weather you are on a rode bike or a trail bike nothing against trail riding but arent we carrying the xtra fees for them too? have a day off hey have a couple of weeks chuck it on the acc bill. i dont think acc/registration fees are just because of road crashes we just might as well get some of the portion that unlike others are paying in

[Suney]

Bad luck dude, bikes are replacable but bodies aren't(yet)
hope you've learnt your lesson altough I highly doubt it

[Jackrat]

Buuuuuuggger,buy a Lotto ticket on your way back to fix the guys fence.

[Rashika]

Sorry to hear about your bin mate..... hope when/if ya get it sorted that ya take it a bit easier, the next bin could be the last. :blink:

...WTF is a 16year old doing on a 650? :angry:

[ducatilover]

...WTF is a 16year old doing on a 650? :angry:
i use it to commute 140kms minimum a day through hills, windy bits, and 100kph areas.

[marty]

:ahem: used to use it....

[ducatilover]

:ahem: used to use it....
oh......reality...:blink: ....oh fuck.......this sux the pope.....:angry:

[speights_bud]

I agree, a decent 250 will do plenty for a 16yr old (like myself) although their cost is now a drawback, my 87' does the commuting job well and keeps up on the medium paced rides with dad and co.
And i hope you been in contact with the fence owner, as a farmers son next to a main road i've done plenty of work on broken fences that noone owned up to.

Afterall you're still in one piece which is good news.

'A good ride is one you can walk away from,
A Great ride is one you can ride the bike away from':blip:

[Rashika]

i use it to commute 140kms minimum a day through hills, windy bits, and 100kph areas.
ya dont need a 650 for that... but hey your choice...just a shame we may all end up paying for it. Altho I think ya prob have learned from it (I hope) :yes:

yeah, the farmer sed dont worry about it. the decent 250's are outa the 2k price range, and the bros cost $1930. and it was in mint condition.

[skelstar]

The issue isnt that the bike was too big for the lad, its the lad was going too fast for both him and the bike.

[VasalineWarrior]

Tough luck dude, sounds like you were real lucky. Any plans on rebuilding or are you just going to get a new ride?

[ducatilover]

i agree i was being a fucktard, in a sorta contrlled way, but i'm still fucken lucky to be alive.:spudbn:

[WINJA]

...WTF is a 16year old doing on a 650? :angry:
I THINK THAT A GOOD RGV 250 WOULD BE JUST AS FAST AND SLIGHTLY MORE DANGEROUS THAN HIS 650 .
SO ITS NOT REALLY AN ISSUE APART FROM HIM BREAKING THE LAW WHICH IS AN ASS ANYWAY

[ducatilover]

Tough luck dude, sounds like you were real lucky. Any plans on rebuilding or are you just going to get a new ride?
rebuild, it'll still cost less than another decent ride. [the bike was worth $4500 when bought 2 weeks ago privatly and i got it for $1930] so i owe her $2570 in a manner of speaking.

[N4CR]

I THINK THAT A GOOD RGV 250 WOULD BE JUST AS FAST AND SLIGHTLY MORE DANGEROUS THAN HIS 650 .
SO ITS NOT REALLY AN ISSUE APART FROM HIM BREAKING THE LAW WHICH IS AN ASS ANYWAY

I have had similar (but no crash) stuff happening exiting corners at 140+ with corrugations and crappy road work. Could have been just as bad. This (same with me) was really a case of just speeding in the wrong place at the wrong time.
edit: and all on a perfectly learner legal zxr250c...

Sorry to hear bout that mate.

[Teflon]

...WTF is a 16year old doing on a 650? :angry:

It's a better learners bike than a RGV or NSR.

[myvice]

Don’t give a rats what you where on, just glad you’re ok!
Binned my one last Sunday for going too fast into a corner and ACC can foot the bill for that as well!
After 16 years of paying rego on bikes and cars I'm glad someone is using the money and its not just going to the thieving swine’s in the beehive!
Hope the bikes not too bad, take tomorrow off and get some arnica for the bruising.

The "Holier than thou" shit on this site is beginning to really piss me off!
I take it its just me and about 10 other people who speed, lane split and do other stupid/fun things while the rest of you study the osh regulations every night so you can come down on those who are actually living there lives even if it means having some scars at the end of it all?
You cant all be that old that you can’t remember your own youth!
160? So what? My 250 will do that along with any other 250 so what is the point of kicking him when he's down?
It was a Honda Bros, not 1000RR! :Playnice:

[Teflon]

my day was very eventfull my ride lasted 4minutes and 1 crash.... iwas heading down a straight just out of eketahuna towards pahiatua and was gaining on a cage quite quickly... so theres this nice lonnnnnnnng corner ahead and a great grass verge, so in my 2 day old leather jacket and new jeans i speed up to 160 to pass said cage, thats all fine and gravy, i pull out and theres no cages coming around the lonnnnng corner and i accelerate from 160 a wee bit, as i am beside the cage i hit some corrugations in the road.....and my bike packed a huge wobly dropped on my now barely working leg and decides to carry on passing the car on its side....so natualy i fly through the air and bounce spin roll and do general gymnastics untill i hit a farm fence post, break the friggin fence post continue down the grass verge and just for good measure hit the fence again and break that too, roll for a while,bounce on head and stop in a pile 60 somthing metres down the road. all the gymnastics happened on grass fortunatly. i must be the luckiest guy around to survive a 160kph crash and walk away, if i was wearing my codura jacket my back and ribs would be getting glued back together. my bike is pretty fucked as logic would say, but its mainly cosmetic......so now i have a very badly bruised body and one stuffed bike and a very bad experience in my hands.......i dont have insurance.....and there musta been something wrong with the bike too do that:blink: i will not be put of bike though. i cant believe i survived, thanks to the bikers that stopped to chek up on me:yes:

I bet it was a huge rush. after a crash i'm always fully pumped ready to jump back on the bike race off again.

Wait to you have your first highside, they can hurt, or hitting a car.. that can suck to.

[Pathos]

Good to hear you're ok

good thing you got that bike dirt cheap.

fuck yeah, i wanna go for a ride.....if my leg and bike worked i would

[ducatilover]

for those who think its my first bike, i also have had a gpz400r ninja, and a gn250 [the ultimation of gutless]

[crash harry]

Sorry to hear about your bin. It always sux when someone goes down.

Glad you're alive though, it sux a LOT more when they don't get up again.

Take care out there everyone - shit can and does happen!

[Dadpole]

i agree i was being a fucktard, in a sorta contrlled way, but i'm still fucken lucky to be alive.:spudbn:

A lot of us have "been there and done that". You are in one piece, and that is what counts.
Experience gained is what we call it.

And he should feel bad. How would you feel if you were in the car that was narrowly missed by a bike sliding down the road at 100mph. I'm all for riding like a complete fool at times but its learning to choose those times that is really important.

Too bloody right, I'm afraid I have very little sympathy for anyone who posts a "woe is me" thread like this. Yes, it's highly likely we all exceed the speed limit at times, but to brag about doing 160kph-plus while overtaking a car is bloody stupid. Just be thankful it's your own sorry arse that's hurting and not some innocent bystander.

Get over it, learn some respect for the road and other road users and then perhaps you will deserve some sympathy if you crash again. Tosser.

[Badcat]

what a miracle you aren't badly hurt or dead.
i know i've done some stupid shit, and just scraped by.

it's good to be alive, isn't it?

PLEASE mate, learn to slow down and live to grow older.
i did, now i'm having the time of my life.
i'm really glad you're OK DL.

crashing tastes like ass, try to do it less...

and - fuck that's a shame about the bros.
there will be more bikes bud, only one you.

[justsomeguy]

Hey matey,

Sorry to hear about your bin. Thank the biker Gods that they left you able to ride another day.

I'm sure you wont do anything naughty like that again:nono:

Don't listen to all the PC crap all the "old people" are spouting off..... they can't remember how "sweet" being sixteen was.

Take it easy, have fun and go as hard as you can safely go:rockon:

Speed on young rider, speed on....:nono:














A classic case of youthful enthusiasm and inexperience overcoming caution and seasoned judgement, hope you learn something from it and you also fully recover. (did ya need a clean pair of Y-fronts after the crash??)

[Brian d marge]

The bros 650 is a good bike ,,except the front forks ..the whole lot should be binned ..the same happened to me ...ripple cranked over in the company of a VFR 750 ... back in 92 /3 ish ... Ducks hill in London if anyone knows it ,,on the way to the pub
Anyway over the ripples and she washed out on me I had to straighten up haul on the anchors and complete the turn ,,,..The Frame on those thing is as Stiff as ...and they Do handle ...But Those forks take a bit of work to get them from crap ,,,to tolerably crap ...

Stephen
BTW ,,I also Binned it at 160 ,,, on an RG250 ,,,so join the club ....( I learnt my lesson and I cant be trusted ,,so I bought an Enfield ,,,,try getting that to !60 km/h

[Rashika]

The issue isnt that the bike was too big for the lad, its the lad was going too fast for both him and the bike.
and that is cos the bike was too big for him and his lack of experience on that bike...simple.
*almost* any 650 will be too powerful for someone with only a small amount of road experience ...and adrenalin is a powerful force, no matter what your age, it will take over and make you do stupid things, we have all been there.
At 16 years you think you cant die, at 36 you KNOW you can, thats the only real difference, it gives you a slight pause before doing something stupid.


i agree i was being a fucktard, in a sorta contrlled way, but i'm still fucken lucky to be alive.:spudbn:
Yep! We are glad too mate..... :banana:

[dangerous]

for those who think its my first bike, i also have had a gpz400r ninja, and a gn250 [the ultimation of gutless]
Fuk sake mate........ I have been riding for 22yrs non stop owned 1100's thours and a turbo, spent hours riding the worlds fastest production bike .... and every day I'm still learning.
So FFS I for one dont give a shit if you have had a ninja or what ever, at 16 you know shit all..... but I tell ya what its the best time of ya life learning so dont fuk it up.:2thumbsup

ps: the day you think you know it all.... is the day you will be pushing up daisys

[Sniper]

I feel sorry for yas mate, I really do, but Im with Marty on this one.

Trying to prove something without learning first. Hopefully next time you will be more careful. Lesson learnt aye?

Ducatilover says in a previous post that his bike went into a slapper, the tyre sizes are non-standard, he doesn't know what the susp settings are.
Then a week later he tries to take a bumpy sweeper at 160 k's plus.
He had his warning back then.

[Sniper]

Exactly........

[Ixion]

.....and there musta been something wrong with the bike too do that:blink: i will not be put of bike though. i cant believe i survived, thanks to the bikers that stopped to chek up on me:yes:

Firstly, like everyone I'm very glad you survived. Secondly, odds are you won't survive much longer unless you face up to something that you are denying -- "and there musta been something wrong with the bike too do that". No mate, there's nothing wrong with the bike (or nothing more than their ever was). The reason for the bin is simple - inexperience. Excessive speed, not watching the road surface. Not saying it can't catch out the most experienced and catious rider in the world. But : an inexperienced rider, riding (illegally, though I don't really think that's relevant) a bike too powerful for his skills, overtaking on a corner (always iffy), not watching the road surface, dubious tyres, unknown suspension settings- mate, it wasn't if it was when. I've been watching for the post and praying it wouldn't be real bad news.

Get back on a bike as soon as y'can, but get some training. Do some of the roadcraft courses, think about why there are rules about learners, and speed limits and such. And also that you are really important ALIVE to a lot of people. Just make a little picture in your mind of your Mum opening the door and seeing a cop standing there - and her face, because she knows what the cop's come to say before he says it. And her sitting crying at the kitchen table , with the family gathered round trying to comfort her and knowing there is no comfort to give. I've seen it too many times - don't want it have it happen. Back off the throttle , next time , you might not be so lucky.

Nana has spoken. red rep her all y'want.

damn mate. well done for not errr coming off worse. did you get the whole time slowing down thing?

i had been carefull to not do the dumb thing i did, i have passed in the same place both ways quite often and have never hit these prticular corrugations.
oh and beemer, if you think i'm a dumbfucktard fair enough i wholly agree with you, but honestly i cant see anyone being a saint, so i had a decently close to death crash, it happens, you get over yourself first please. i was not bragging about passing a car at 160kp/h. i easily could have opened up sooner and come off on the rev limiter. i suppose i am an eternal idiot i n your veiw eh?:mad:

damn mate. well done for not errr coming off worse. did you get the whole time slowing down thing?
nah, it happened pretty fast. all isaw was blurred grass, sky, bike flying, grass sky, grass, fence, smack, thank fuck for reinforced leather jackets. it just happens that this is my third major back injury in four years.:bye: i got x-rays this morning and fuck my back is bent, but i am alive and that counts for something i suppose.....:mellow:

Get back on a bike as soon as y'can, but get some training. Do some of the roadcraft courses, think about why there are rules about learners, and speed limits and such. And also that you are really important ALIVE to a lot of people. Just make a little picture in your mind of your Mum opening the door and seeing a cop standing there - and her face, because she knows what the cop's come to say before he says it. And her sitting crying at the kitchen table , with the family gathered round trying to comfort her and knowing there is no comfort to give. I've seen it too many times - don't want it have it happen. Back off the throttle , next time , you might not be so lucky.

Nana has spoken. red rep her all y'want.
that picture went through my mind as i bounced/rolled etc, it was not a good picture. you have a good point about the bike though, and the inexperience. the tyres though are the appropriate size for the rims. the bike has aftermarket rims so it has an 18 inch rear, instead of the standard 17 inch rear. i also just got the suspension settings changed and the fork seals replaced and the back was great but the forks were noticably softer. i am restoring the bike and am going to ride more sanely. i kinda appreciate my life now:2thumbsup

[Biff]

I'm glad to hear that, despite the odds, you survived.

[Teflon]

Are you just a masochist? Or something more...

Sorta like that (British?) movie where they'd go have a car crash 'cos it got them all horny and then they'd have sex at the crash site?

Shit you have a morbid taste for movies. never knew they made shit like that. is that scene from one of your religous gay porn?

[Zapf]

crash - sorry to hear that
ripples... - could have avoided it
2 weeks after you bought it - should have known it better
160km - passing a car and going into a corner... are you stupid or what?

that was then...

here you are now....

ALIVE.

hope you LEARN from it and can tell the same story to your grand kids someday.

yeah, i learnt a lesson.....now i am fixing the bike on $90 a week.....its gonna take quite a while......:angry: that corner is easily taken as a pillion at 200kmh+ on the old mans fj1200 so yeah, must be that certain side of the road, cos my bros did handle better than an fj1200

[enigma51]

It might stop him being a twat in the future:rockon:

No it does not. If his 16 he will either realize that fuck I have realy done something stupid or be of the opinion that we should all go fuck ourselves as he knows better.


But I think he realized he has done something stupid and was giving another chance its now up to him to do something about it.

So ducati lover unless you want to kill yourself (or worse someone else) put some thought into your actions mate!

[ducatilover]

fair enough, i feel like shit now:angry:

[madboy]

ducbro, my sympathies for the bin and subsequent pain (both physical & financial). I won't jump on my high horse like some others here... doing dumb shit is part of growing up. I've done it, they've done it, it's called LIFE. Hypocrites.

I'm just glad all the bits that mattered came away alive.

Best of luck with the rebuild of body and bike.

[cowpoos]

[just takin the piss snuffles]

[James Deuce]

Hypocrites.



It's not hypocrisy.

Your attitude and others I might add, is that no one's experiences have any worth, because being young and stupid is allowed. It is, so long as you learn from "youth", and the other "hypocrites" lessons as well. History isn't pointless, it's a foundation.

You're on the right path Ducatilover. Just stick around so you can get that Ducati.

[Beemer]

oh and beemer, if you think i'm a dumbfucktard fair enough i wholly agree with you, but honestly i cant see anyone being a saint, so i had a decently close to death crash, it happens, you get over yourself first please. i was not bragging about passing a car at 160kp/h. i easily could have opened up sooner and come off on the rev limiter. i suppose i am an eternal idiot i n your veiw eh?:mad:

I don't necessarily think you are a dumbfuctard (very creative use of the English language by the way), but I think you are riding WAY beyond your abilities and it's YOU who needs to get over yourself. Take a minute to think what would have happened if that car had suddenly swerved to avoid an obstacle on the road in front of it, or the driver decided to turn or stop suddenly without warning - rather than bragging about your "near death" experience, you could have been dead for real. That driver would NOT have been expecting you to be travelling at 160kph and no matter how many people here want to pat you on the back for being such a cool dude and hot rider, in my opinion you are a dangerous prick who shouldn't be on the road until he can learn some respect for other road users.

Just because you can't see anyone else being a saint, is that an excuse to act this way? I am not claiming to be perfect and I have ridden at higher speeds than that myself on a public road, but the difference is when and where I did it. You've got a long way to go before you realise that speed alone is not an indicator of riding ability.

[The_Dover]

You've got a long way to go before you realise that speed alone is not an indicator of riding ability.

No, there's also stunts...........:shake:

[enigma51]

fair enough, i feel like shit now:angry:
No need to mate you seem like a sensible young man and i am sure you old man gave enough shit already about it. Just take care out there mate

[Ixion]

Y'reckon maybe your old mans extra twenty or thirty years experience might maybe have something to do with it ?

[Toast]

Shit you have a morbid taste for movies. never knew they made shit like that. is that scene from one of your religous gay porn?

Haha...nah mate, my (semi-) religious gay (female) porn, is more like this:

Here's the shit you're looking for bro ;) :

"This is an odd and perplexing film that also has no social redeeming values, or for that matter, any real point of why it was ever made. While controversial films occasionally come along, at least they sometimes have some redeeming quality to them. They may have high artistic values or use their extreme subject matter and the presentation of it for some statement (such as in "A Clockwork Orange"). This film's purpose, however, is just to showcase a bunch of sick individuals who like to have sex after getting turned on by car crashes..." (http://www.screenit.com/movies/1997/crash.html)

[Deano]

Personally, I wouldn't have started a thread, admitting my illegal speed and the location the crash occurred, just in case. Big brother is watching you know.

[Lou Girardin]

the bike has aftermarket rims so it has an 18 inch rear, instead of the standard 17 inch rear.

That alone has changed the steering head angle, steepened it. So that could contribute to instability if the forks weren't dropped in the clamps to compensate.
I too learnt the hard way that if a bike tends to wobble, don't push it till you find out why.

[texmo]

I wasnt even gonna comment but, ducati is having a cry about how your not gonna have anything to commmute on ect... but you were doing over twice the legal speed limit wearing jeans your fucking lucky, I wouldnt go so far as to say you deservied it but, you had it coming....
I look like a dick in my one peice scince its like 3 sizes to big yet I still wear it...

[enigma51]

I will jack away thank you very much, I wasnt the one who got me started anyways....

[dss3]

Mate, for a crash at that speed on an open road I think you are expecially lucky to get off with some bruising and a banged up bike aye. Two weeks on and im still pretty rooted after crashing at about that same speed at Puke, and I got more than a few bruises from that.

Yeah I’ll say he's fucking lucky. I bailed at 80k last December and I only went through 1 post and I’m still having problems with my leg and I’m still missing a good inch of bone out of my Tibia. Ducatilover, I seriously hope you take some positive from this mistake and learn well. It could have easily been a different story and we would have been reading about it in the NZ herald. Learning to ride well takes time, just like most things mate, take your time and practice makes perfect.

[enigma51]

fair enough tex, but the jeans thing......that was the third and last time i have not worn protective leggings on any of my bikes. the first two times was when i was waiting for them to come into the shop. i rode from the shop proudly with my gn. i rode to the shop the next day to get my protective leggings. you are right, i did have it coming, i was riding stupid on cold tyres/cold brakes, and have very little experience. as many will agree, being a fricken idiot.

[Bonez]

Buy another GN250. You are obviously suited to them :bash:
Seroiusly, you are damn lucky and I hope you learn from you're experience. You may be able to pick up a complete 400 Bros cheap wick wink.

i do plan to use bros400 parts for the rebuild. i rode differnently than what a gn suited. i prefer a sports bike.:yes: i am going to be alot more mature when i'm back on the road:nono:

yup at tarakari head and red rocks, they fucken reek:msn-wink:

[zeRax]

sorry to hear about crash, but fuck.. does everyone have to have a go at you? come on people stop before you tire your horse out and it falls ontop of you

just read this thread from post 1, and i havent seen him say he was proud or anything like that, most people like to know how crashes happen, dont fucken blast him for it, and bollocks at this too powerful bike shit, only a 650, its a money thing as i gather as opposed to anything else, 250's are stupidly priced and you can get 250's with more balls than a bros650 ez, LAY OFF?

[Dadpole]

2992 members lining up to :bash:

Time to go on the attack there Ducatilover. Blame someone else, and we can start a good mudslinging thread.

My view: You got it wrong, you are OK and you learned - end of story

[Leong]

Mate, glad you're OK, and at least at 16 the body heals quickly, but banging up yr back a few times already? It could have easily been your head that hit the fence post!!

Good thing about this forum - you get many opinions. I've just spent a long while reading all these posts and I'm sure EVERYONE has your interests at heart. Please read Ixion's and Beemers posts a few times so it all sinks in. They spent some time writing them to help you, NOT to intentionally bash you - what would they gain by that?

[ducatilover]

hey this is really good. while i was at the hospital, i got blood tests to find something and it turns out i have glandular fever or something WTF?:blink:

[N4CR]

Hhhmmm... one of the kids had that at my school, he was off for a week or something like that.

Call it 'grandula' fever. Sounds better. Cheer up lol... life will get better!

[ducatilover]

Yeah, i'm looking at the good side, well quite alot of the posts have helped thanks dudes:2thumbsup i think i have learnt a lesson:yes: :stupid:

[Ixion]

If so, then you will in years to come think it was a very cheap one (no matter how painful the fiscal pain may now be).

Well done.

Maybe you should start another thread.....

[lewises]

Y'know, if I think back to being 16..bloody long time ago...I was all hormones and adrenalin and loved speed on or in any vehicle. Age brings restraint to a degree. Really glad to hear that you walked away and sorry to hear about your bike. Hang in there.

[dangerous]

Anyone not had a bash at ducatilover yet?
Roll up - roll up. It's good fun - just like clubbing baby seals. :bash:
think about it

does everyone have to have a go at you? dont fucken blast him for it,
and bollocks at this too powerful bike shit, only a 650
Yip... well I do... cos I tell you what Zrax/DadP, if it makes just one young fella think about his/her actions ie: every action has a reaction... and saves there arse... then I will 'blast' who ever I want

Re: "bollocks at this too powerful bike shit" get real mate.... gezzz think about what you are saying, yes there are powerfull 250's and I wouldent reconmend them to a learner as I wouldent a 650,
It dosent take mush to relise a 650 will get you in the shit faster than a 250... and a 1100 will get you in the shit faster than a 650:doh:

yip, agree
yup, i go with that, and as omeone ele said it a money thing. i wa going to buy a gsxr250 but that fucked out and then i wa offered the bros650, and like any normal person snapped that up. i think that the bro is more dangerous than jut about all 250's because its huge amounts of tourque, it has a similar amount of tourque to say a cbr600rr or gixxa 600, now i dont think an nsr has the same torque/weight ratio do you? it really is a stupid bike for someone with so little experience, but i love it its a great bike [well kinda stuffed]. i just want to say again I AM NOT BOASTING ABOUT MY FUCKEN CRASH, ITS PISING ME OFF THAT PEOPLE ARE SAYNIG I'M BOASTING, WELL HERE I GO OOOOOOOOOH YAAAAAAAAY I WAS BEING A FUCKWIT AND FELL OFF MY BIKE AT 160KPH AND WALKED AWAY, ALL HEIL THE DUCATIMEISTER. happy? i thought some of you would need that as bait for some more putting me down. though i am extremely lucky to walk away, and not compltetely write mybike off:2thumbsup

yup, if i had the money i would not have a bros but a nice little zxr250 or cbr250rr something along those lines, gn250's dont suit my riding at all, i cant take a sit up position it puts too much vertical stress on my spine:doh:
