What a retard.....

[Cibby]

And yes, i am talking about myself.

Went for a small blat last night around Maratai with Postie, on the back into Maratai, right on dusk, took a corner, saw some gravel, had a bit of a panic, hit the brakes way to hard and low slided it accross the road.

Luckly no cars were coming..!

I'm ok, i stopped sliding on the side of the road. sore knee, sore hip with Gravel rash where my shitty corduras rided up and one very fucked bike..

Ended up down on the beach on the rocks... see pic...

Well that is bike number 2, and in no less than 2 months i might add.

Me thinks me will be a pillion for a while..

Big ups for star insurance as they have appointed an assessor already, and thanks to Colemans for taking another written off bike from me.

Special thanks to Postie for looking after me and stuff... :love:

[cowpoos]

you want me to come up and rub hot oil all over your naked body to sooth the aches away babe????





PS: glad ur okay.....bout time u got a suzuki eh?

[Shaun]

Sorry to see this Cibby Chic, glad you are OK though. You are bloody good at though from that Photo.

[Grahameeboy]

you want me to come up and rub hot oil all over your naked body to sooth the aches away babe????



after you do me Saturday nite!!

[slimyxylofone]

Shit, hope you're okay and get back up and running again soon. Did you learn what to do next time in the same situation?

[kiwifruit]

Damn! Sorry to hear, but glad you are (basicly) ok.
Good on ya for posting pics!
Im sure you will be back on 2 wheels as soon as

[Big Dave]

Not retarded at all.
Experience is a good school - but the fees are high.

[Colapop]

Oh well 2 down - how many more (bikes) are there? Not many if any other Cibby's so good you're relatively ok.

[bugjuice]

you're bloody lucky you didn't tumble down with the bike, else it'd be a different story..
rest up, give ya shout later..

[Cibby]

you're bloody lucky you didn't tumble down with the bike, else it'd be a different story..
rest up, give ya shout later..


yeah i know, luckly the road slowed me down huh ?? :brick:

Thanks everyone for your comments, tis an expensive learning curve, might go and do some riding courses and shit before i ride again....

pillion girl until then..

and Mr Poo's - I have postie to rub oil on my aching body but i'm sure dover or grahameeboy would stand in my place :wacko:

[bugjuice]

hey, postie killed two too.. may be his luck just rubbed off on you (along with other stuff I guess)
he hasn't done any for a while tho, so you should be ok for a bit

[Grahameeboy]

and Mr Poo's - I have postie to rub oil on my aching body but i'm sure dover or grahameeboy would stand in my place :wacko:

Me first as I am closer than Dover...........

[Kendog]

Bugger!! Glad to hear you are ok though.

[inlinefour]

Not retarded at all.
Experience is a good school - but the fees are high.
and Im sure most of us have at least bent a few bikes. I know I have. Cibby glad your not too bad. Bikes are easily replaced, your not.:cool:

[ManDownUnder]

oh mate - not good... that was the same err... taillight I was chasing a week ago.

Good to hear you're ok, sorry bout the bike. Sounds like you and Postie could have another project on your hands?

What's happening with the bike? I know a bod that might want the motor for a kart...

[WRT]

Sorry to hear that Cibby, I'm glad that it sounds like only minor injuries. Its easy to panic and make a basic error that has nasty consequences - dont beat yourself up too much over it! Happens to the best of us, and it sounds like you are taking a lesson from it which is the best thing you can do in the circumstances. Heal up quick, ya hear?

[ducatilover]

ooooh fuckin bugger. atleast you didnt hit any cars. cowpoos will rub it better, hes good like that:blip:

[Keystone19]

Oh dear.

Glad you're ok Rach.

[T.W.R]

Geez Cibby your a lucky girl you didn't follow the bike !

had a mate do the same years ago at Goose bay just south of Kaikora & the results ain't pretty when it happens :shit: :sick:

least your in one bit, slightly scrubbed but in one bit. the bike can be replaced ;)

[Riff Raff]

Oh no Cibby. :angry2: farkin gravel! I hate that stuff! Glad you're ok tho. Take care hun.

[aff-man]

Well your pretty lucky. Those rocks would have hurt..

At least I had nice smooth tar to slide along:thud:

[loosebruce]

Crikey Cibbs, those pics paint a not so pretty picture, glad it wasn't you down there with it.

Poo's is right time to buy a suzuki. take care girl.

[In The Breeze]

Its only a bike:mellow: and youre ok,all that matters.

[SwanTiger]

You managed to survive; either you pray to the right god or you didn't fuck up too badly!

Riding courses sound like a good idea. It is awesome to see that you are thinking ahead in a positive way.

See you on the road soon :)

[2_SL0]

Good to hear your ok, bike can be replaced.

[skelstar]

That sucks Cibby. We hate lessons like that. Look after yourself.

[DMNTD]

Bloody hell mate!! Happy to see that you're sweet and judging by those pic's of where your bike's at you are also pretty fortunate...:sweatdrop

[Paul in NZ]

Sorry to hear that and glad you are OK.

I tend to get a bit 'grab for the brakes' ish myself when I see gravel mid corner (thank goodness for Guzzi linked brakes) but funnily enough, braking mid corner like that will just about always spit you off and yet hitting gravel will only 'maybe' spit you off..

Very hard to get the brain not to react though!

Best Regards

[crashe]

Farken hell Cibby Chick....

Glad to hear that you are ok.... and the bike can be replaced......or repaired.

[kels]

Damn! What a bugger, just good to know that your ok Cibby!

[ZeroIndex]

Sorry to hear about your bin, hope you're able to find a good replacement bike

[imdying]

Hahahahaha! Awesome, you're hardcore now!:cool:

[Sniper]

Farking hell, a good looking CBR too.

[chickenfunkstar]

Eeeek. Thats no good to hear. I'm glad you didn't follow the bike onto those rocks, they look like that last place you'd want to end up in.

[Fishy]

Shit thats no good Rach, glad you are ok and lucky Postie was with ya when it happened. Take care.

[DemonWolf]

Glad to see that you are alright Cibby, take it easy and heal up. I hope the insurance will cover the damages! Would have ended up alot nastier if you had followed the bike... like others have mentioned. Very glad that ya ok =)

[buellbabe]

Wow! Spectacular tumble eh?! Main thing is that yr ok, ( if it were me I know I'd be shedding a tear over me bike tho... ). That is a nasty bit of road at dusk and it gets worse when you get away from the coast up into the twisties. Rode from Kaiaua to Manurewa at dusk a week or so back and was having to brake almost to a halt cos of the sunstrike on some of the corners... literally couldn't see where the road went!
Hope you and the bike will be fixed for the Biker Angels ride...:doctor:

[avrflr]

Bad luck Cibby, I feel your pain. Get back on that horse as soon as you can:)

[outlawtorn]

Sorry to hear about your bin, hope you are 100%, pity the bike is so fucked up but at least you fucked it up in style!!:Punk: :headbang:

[Edbear]

Not a retard at all! Just shows how road riding is not the same as track riding. You never know what's around (or on) the next corner. It can happen to anyone and is the reason we try to tell the less experienced to take extra care on the road. Glad you're okay and bein' looked after.The tyre companies have made incredible progress with tyre technology and wet road riding is a lot safer because of it, but no-one can come up with a road tyre that'll handle the situation you found yourself in!:drinkup:

[ManDownUnder]

Hey cibby - I just saw the bike... ouch.

Not Dovered but not happy either! I laughed when I saw your registration expiry date though - next Monday. If you were going to stack it... your timing was good - well... as good as it could be LMAO!

Look after yourself hun

[Cibby]

haha.. yeah i know, and i was about to get a new tyre last week but decided i'd wait another week or so,


oh and it needed a clean to so.. :killingme



Thanks everyone!!!

[ManDownUnder]

haha.. yeah i know, and i was about to get a new tyre last week but decided i'd wait another week or so,


oh and it needed a clean to so.. :killingme

And it needed a clean so... you gravel blasted it? I mean... that's goin' a little overboard isn't it?

[R6_kid]

shit... that sucks big balls.

glad you're alright rach, i wouldnt like to think what woulda happened if you'd gone for the rocks too.

[Back Fire]

damn... bikes are dropping like flies this year... hope you get well quick... poor bike

[motobob]

Glad to see your OK girl. Now thats a spectacular crash I sometimes wondered what a bike on the rocks would look like. It ain't pretty.

[Zed]

Terrible news Cibby, specially after just riding with you the weekend b4 last. Keep your head up gurl! :cool:

[tl_tub]

Bugger! How far did you have to slide to do that??

[Leong]

Sorry to hear about this, and glad you're relatively OK. Haven't been on that road much since they resealed it.... wrecked it in my opin!! Hope the wounds heal quick!!

[beyond]

Hey, real pleased you came out of it with hardly any damage to yourself.
Not a nice thing to encounter on a corner and not a lot you can do about it once you are in it.

Ya reckon you might have still been suffering the after effects of St Paddys day eh? eh? :)

[terbang]

Jeez thats bad news sorry to hear. Here is a picky, to cheer you up, of you giving a couple of old fellas the Learn on last coro loop ..

[thealmightytaco]

Man, good to hear you're still coo' Cibby. Now get yer kit off. But seriously, I'll be here all week. But yeah, glad you didn't follow it down the rocks. Get back on that horse!

Also what I find interesting is it's 9 hours since the news was put up and already you're up to 4 pages. Now that's gotta make you feel wanted.

[Mr Skid]

Can I have your indicators?

[NotaGoth]

Shit.. Sorry to hear Cibs... Good that you're okay and walked away at least
When the gravel rash settles down some, rub some vitamin E oil into it.. Works wonders...

[Insanity_rules]

DAMN! Cibby, that was some bin girl! Glad to hear your OK.

Hope you join the ranks of the Honda squad again soon.

[erik]

Glad you're ok.
Damn lucky too considering you crossed the centreline.

[Toast]

Stink Cibby.

I had a bin a while back, in cordura stuff, and have a scar on my leg for life 'cos it tore. Sworn to use leathers alone from now on, although it's good to have that scar as a constant reminder not to be a dick again. Girlfriend gave me heaps of sympathy and stroking 'cos of it too :)

I did the same as you once, but luckily the trees saved it from the rocks and water :niceone:

All the best...

[Scouse]

Sorry to hear about the bin Cibby but Im happy that you came out of it ok chin up bikes are replaceable

[FROSTY]

bad luck cibby---still better the bike than you.

[justsomeguy]

Sorry to hear bout this Rach. Glad you're not too badly damaged. Bikes are a dime a dozen aren't they, I'm sure there'll be another one available soon or I guess for mechanical purposes you can start test riding all the 250's that sit at Colemans to stop their batteries going flat. :cool:

Do you have long till you get your full??

Good on you for being around and helping out Postie. :niceone:

PS: Poor QKCHK's got so much babysitting to do now.........

Damn lucky too considering you crossed the centreline.

What's wrong with crossing the centre line?? :lol:

[erik]

What's wrong with crossing the centre line?? :lol:
Just that if you haven't planned to do it and checked that there is no oncoming traffic, it is pure luck whether you live or die.

[justsomeguy]

Just that if you haven't planned to do it and checked that there is no oncoming traffic, it is pure luck whether you live or die.

You sure?? Cos I was given the impression that even if you habitually cross the line with full visibility and planning it's baaadddd.:eyepoke:










Yeah I know what you mean short stuff. No need to answer all my drivel.:hitcher:

[SPman]

What's wrong with crossing the centre line?? :lol:
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!
You should, on a public highway, be able to do all your cornering, etc, on your own side of the road. Occasionally, you can cross the centreline (conditions 100% applicable, of course), but, it is not a good habit to get in to...a bit like Services basic training.......train to do the things that, when all thought is gone, you will do instinctively! Crossing the centreline, instinctively, is NOT a good look for continued survival ..............

[Ixion]

Hm. Nana mode on . Whilst I agree with you that crossing the centre line is , per se, a VERY BAD THING; and should never be regarded as standard practice: none the less, I do think there are some occasions when it is justifiable. There are some roads (SH22 is one example) where the road "wriggles" in a straight line - ie there are a series of bends, but the exit from the last bend is more or less in line with the entrance to the first bend, and the whole series is plainly visible from the start. And the road continues straight on after the last wiggle!

In such circumstances, I think that straight lining the wriggles is , not perhaps a good or even advisable thing , but an understandable one. Always assuming visibility, no other traffic etc etc.

I would NOT wish to have to explain this to a traffic cop, and learners should NOT take this as good advice. But you will not necessarily die if you do it.I often do .

One must bear in mind, that many of the NZ back roads (SH22 is, again, a good example) were never intended , when they were first built, to have a centre line. I remember when Sh22 was all gravel, it followed pretty much the same route as now, but there was no suggestion of people keeping strictly to one side - you kept more or less leftish or centre of the road, when the way ahead was clear, and moved over if you encountered oncoming traffic. As one still does on gravel roads, and roads with no centre line.

Nana mode off.

[justsomeguy]

Of course it's bad. Period.


The only time you may justify crossing the centre line is if you can't hold your current line on your side of the road without dropping your corner speed and you want to play with or overtake that bozzo ahead on the faster bike who can't corner-- Assuming you're riding fastishlishdish and you can SEE CLEARLY NOW THE RAIN IS GONE
I CAN SEE ALL OBSTACLES IN MY WAY
GONE ARE THE DARK CLOUDS THAT HAD ME DOWN
IT'S GONNA BE A BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT SUN SHINY DAY
IT'S GONNA BE A BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT SUN SHINY DAY

OH YES I CAN MAKE IT NOW THE PAIN IS GONE
ALL OF THE BAD FEELINGS HAVE DISAPPEARED
HERE IS THAT RAINBOW I'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR
IT'S GONNA BE A BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT SUN SHINY DAY

LOOK ALL AROUND THERE'S NOTHING BUT BLUE SKIES
LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD THERE'S NOTHING BUT BLUE SKIES

I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW THE RAIN IS GONE
I CAN SEE ALL OBSTACLES IN MY WAY
HERE IS THAT RAINBOW I'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR
IT'S GONNA BE A BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT SUN SHINY DAY
IT'S GONNA BE A BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT SUN SHINY DAY
BRI-RI-RI-RI-RIGHT
BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT SUN SHINY DAY
OH YEAH
IT'S GONNA BE A BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT SUN SHINY DAY
IT'S GONNA BE A BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT SUN SHINY DAY
IT'S GONNA BE A BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT SUN SHINY DAY.

By the way newbies - stick to your side of the road at all costs and only ride as fast as your visibility allows, making sure you can safely brake to a stop in half the visible distance (check your mirrors too). This tip also applies while overtaking people.

[Gremlin]

Oh Rachael.... not again, but, as everyone has said, better the bike than you.

Just wondering tho now, if you hate cibbys.... as err.... you're doing a good job eliminating them... :blink:

See you back on 2 wheels soon :2thumbsup

[Toast]

Why would you wanna straighten out the curves ya big nana? Heck, that's one of the reasons I never cross the centre, infact I basically stick to the right tyre tracks of the cars: so you can get more lean on.

It's also good practice for when it's wet and you wanna avoid the shitty oily patch in the middle.

[Ixion]

Obviously, because it is faster, and less tiring. Considerations if one is pressing on.

[Phurrball]

Dude! That is no good at all...

Impressive piccies to show the grandkids one day perhaps?

I know we are attached to our machines, and loosing a bike hurts, but as others have pointed out, they are easier to come by than replacement body parts.

As for stepping up to a Suzuki...I couldn't possibly comment :whistle: but 'Gixxy' doesn't quite have the same ring...;)

[Motu]

Obviously, because it is faster, and less tiring. Considerations if one is pressing on.

And smoother,important in the wet,or on gravel,wherever the gravel is.I cut corners,but obviously I pick the time and place,or I wouldn't be here all these years later....

[Cibby]

Man, good to hear you're still coo' Cibby. Now get yer kit off.

Also what I find interesting is it's 9 hours since the news was put up and already you're up to 4 pages. Now that's gotta make you feel wanted.


well... my kit off as requested, actually this is a pic of my awesome battle scar where i used my tummy/hip to slow me down.....

Nice huh?? should get worse than this to. Looks a bit more brutal in real life...

And yes i do feel pretty cared about, thanks everyone for your support and kind words....

I've decided to give riding a bit of a rest but I want a shitty 400 to take onto the track at taupo and then i also have my ticket at manfield (toast i've decided to keep that ticket, will pay you next week) and then just try to get some confidence back!!! so hopefully that will work, then get my full for next summer and see how i go... What ya think??

[Gremlin]

Crikey... not a bad job on yourself either...

Before you get a bigger bike with your full, I would be saying work on your reactions, responses to oh shit moments etc... A big bike will only amplify troubles and get you into them faster...

Make sure postie plays nurse eh?? You need some looking after :whistle:

[Cibby]

:blink: :blink:

I don't really agree here aye:

1) if she'd done nothing, not closed the throttle, not braked, she'd have a much better chance of being sweet...well, actually, sorry, you said, improve, not quicken...so yeah, learn not to freak Cib.

2) I found my first big bike, an '02 ZX6R heaps more forgiving and stable than my CBR250 was. Where the 250 would go down on gravel straight away, the 6 gave you plenty of warning. So more weight and speed isn't necessarily equal to being harder to ride.

All good Cibby, I'm sure you'll be out again soon.

[gixermike]

moving around a lot more and using both side of the road is the basis of just about every advanced riding course. there was another link recently about a 12 second rule for looking ahead, well, start looking around the corner way before you go into it, thats givern you some more seconds.

Crossing the centre line; i.e go out into right hand lane (obviously not if theres something coming) and have a look coming into left handers, means you can see way earlier and then slow down or avoid that dodgy bit of gravel / diesel / old cogger earlier and take a much smoother line around it. It will also give you confidence to crank right over in the bend, knowing there are no nasty surprises. go in quite late then end up on your own side of the road at full chat, not drifting into the other lane hard on the power.

If I can see both lanes then I use them, you pay for both. I agree newbies should take this bit slowly (wait for your full..etc). but it gives you a massive advantage over cars in right hand corners (coz you can get right up to the kerb and see round it) and on the entry to left hand corners. you'll find you get caught out a lot less by 'tightening' corners,
If you want some idea of what I mean, try and get hold of a 2nd hand copy of the police motorcycle handbook, they're always on Egay. it's the uk police bike course manual.... The guys I got assessed by don't go fast, they just never slow down and will deck a Pan euopean out fully laoded on every corner one after another. If any body wants some bits of it, i'll scan them and Pdf them to someone.Or post it over..unless you wait till about august.
go on...tell me 'another bloody pom' etc etc

i agree with you Toast, a bigger bike goes faster, obvioulsy, but they also have much better brakes and handling. For the price of a early '90's CBR, you can get a much safer (in the aspect of brakes and handling) late 90's 600 sport bike or tourer.
i feel much safer riding bigger bikes then i do little 250's

[Rashika]

Your giving out tips now??? This is a good tip, and a common sense one you would think, but dont you think you should heed your own advice?:scratch:
sheesh


Haha I second that! Riding behind JSG was one of the most freaky

experiences in my riding career :slap: never again

[Stroker Girl]

Hey Rach, sorry to hear about your nasty crash. Glad you are ok and didn't end up on the rocks like the poor old CBR. That Maraetai road can be a shocker sometimes, my mate had a nasty gravel moment out there not long ago & ended up with him & bike on other side of road.

Take care and heal up good:grouphug: See you at the track on your new/old 400 soon?????

[Macktheknife]

Hey Cibby, sorry to hear about your spill girl. I have been out of action for a few days with illness. Its all been said really, you're ok the bike is replaceable, its all good. And you get to be looked after for a while! lol
Take care Rach, call if you need to.

[justsomeguy]

Haha I second that! Riding behind JSG was one of the most freaky

experiences in my riding career :slap: never again

What?? When was this? I can't remember passing or being passed by a bright yellow CBR recently.

You sure it was me? I ALWAYS move right over and let faster riders through.

[tom kitto]

hi guys,
about half an hour ago i decided to let one of my mates have a ride on my bike- BIG MISTAKE!! he fell sideways almost immediately and broke the front fairing and mirror. does anyone know where i can get a new silver fxr 150 front fairing and mirror??
well ive learnt my lesson today!:shutup: how much will it cost?

[Nicksta]

Hey Rachel,
man, i'm sorry to hear about your bin.... glad you were away from the bike when it came to a stop... doesnt look like a friendly resting place... heal quick girl... see you out there soon...

[Cibby]

That sucks dude, i know that horrible feeling of watching 5 grand flick all over the road while your sliding along the ground....it sucks.

Were you wearing codura or leather? how did your gear come out of it?

Cordura's mate.. and they were ok, the jacket came up hense teh huge bruise on my hip, huge hole in knee and my jacket is ripped as well, i would have been better off in my leathers but the were in getting repairs from my LAST accident!!!! argh!!!

anyways my bike is officially a write-off.... Does anyone wanna buy it?????????? would be ok for parts depending on what you needed.
Its at colemans if you wanna have a look :)

Let me know.

Cordura's mate.. and they were ok, the jacket came up hense teh huge bruise on my hip

Yeh I had the same problem with my bin... jacket was zipping into the trousers on the back, but still came up on the side, so ended up with a nice bit of gravel rash.

Could be worse... still got your looks as they say ;)

[Postie]

Could be worse... still got your looks as they say ;)


did someone actually say that to you weasel??

[Karma]

did someone actually say that to you weasel??
