MadMal gets taken out!

[madmal64]

Well I didnt get very far this morning. Had a woman do a u turn right in front of me and I embedded the RF just in front of her front wheel. Went for a small fly across her bonnet and on to the road.:pinch: :argh:
Im ok, but I will be a bit sore for a few days as some bruising comes out,but no broken bones or road rash thanks to wearing all the gear we should be.
Im fairly sure the bike will be a right off, bent forks, fairing is toast, headlight munted, instrument panel broken... all the expensive shit.
Lucky she admitted it was her fault and she is fully insured, but pisses me off that Im going to be without a ride for a while.
Anyway I suppose I will be looking for a new bike soon.... hmmmm VTR? SV? GSXR, Maybe an ST4! oh the choices!

[Fishy]

Glad you came out of it ok and all seems like it should go in your favour with the insurance claim.

Have fun shopping for the new bike!.

[CPB]

Shiiiiiiiiit mate, glad to hear you're ok, shame about the bike. I hate u-turn freaks!!!!!!!:argh:

[Devil]

Bugger to hear.
I believe there was a nice Duke ST3 in WMCC that I had a sit on just before new years, it could do with a home!

[Slingshot]

That's terrible news but at least you're ok!

Maybe it is time to streetfighter the riffer!

Give me a yell if you need anything and throw up some pics of the bike.

[MidnightMike]

That sucks mal. VTR Firestorm :headbang:

[madmal64]

Shiiiiiiiiit mate, glad to hear you're ok, shame about the bike. I hate u-turn freaks!!!!!!!:argh:

Thanks! Any off I can get up & walk away from is a good one (as far as crashes go).
Its the second time someone has done this to me. Last time I was in a cage though.

[WRT]

Sorry to hear about the bin, good on you for having the gear on though - its good to hear you have come out of it all relatively unscathed. Good luck with the bike shopping once the insurance coin comes through, if you have access to parts off the RF sing out because I might know someone that needs some bits.

Yep maybe. Its a plan I have in mind. If they write it off & I can get it for a good price.

Thanks for the offer m8. I will stay in touch. Im going to take some pic's soon. I i will have them up later on today

Contact your insurance company (or her company directly) and say you need a ride urgantly can they pre approve the hire of one until the claim is settled.

Also remember to claim for your inconvinience she has caused you, any other expenses and your riding gear, which is all used now

For sure, any walkaway off is a good one. Last time I got nailed but walked away ok...was my first post on the site...still got the plate and screws in my shoulder. Unfortunately the driver did a runner so my insurance had to cough up.
Happy shopping, or streetfighter-ing!

[Sniper]

Bugger mate, not a cool way to start the day. Hope she does come to the feild with the insurance. All the best on a new bike.

[*sic]

bugger, good to hear you shrugged that shit off.

happy bike hunting

[SVrunner]

Good to hear you walked away.
Good that driver admitted responsibility.
happy hunting for new bike.

[skelstar]

THats shit mate. Hope ya heal up well. Just enjoy the time thinking about your new toy.

[NotaGoth]

but pisses me off that Im going to be without a ride for a while.


Bikes can be replaced (costly yes but they can be) people can't. Good to know that you are still alive and kicking, thats what counts.

*kittie*

[madmal64]

Ok here are some pic's Im no photographer so the may not be the best quality.
Its all a bit out of shape now:sick:
But you that when something metal decides to move in to your space. Lucky I was only doing about 40kms at the time

[HenryDorsetCase]

dang!

Pleased you are OK!.

ST2 or 4 would be my vote.

or a Buell.

[nudemetalz]

Pleased to hear you're alright. Get back on two-wheels quick !!

[LXS]

Good to hear your not too hurt, the exact same thing happened to me about 3 months ago.

Was on Mt Albert Rd in Auckland, cager was in left lane doing approx 10kms, went to overtake in right lane & yeah, you can peice together the rest...
Luckily for me the damage wasnt too bad, just broken indicator, cracked l/h fairing, left footpeg.

Good luck on getting another bike.

[riffer]

Ouch. :thud:

Hope you're resting and feeling better.

Good luck with the new bike search.

[madboy]

Oh dear... well at least you're not too banged up. Gixxer time :devil2:

[madmal64]

Yeah, might have to spent a day next week test riding a few eh?:yeah:
Once the bruising in the groin area goes down a bit!
Its been about 12 hrs since the off npw and the bruising is just starting to come out.
Thanks for all the well wishes folks. Its great to be part of the madhouse

[Nicksta]

Sad to hear about the bike, glad you made it without bad injuries... hey on the bright side, soon there will be a new toy to play with :blip:


Also remember to claim for your inconvinience she has caused you, any other expenses and your riding gear, which is all used now
