Crashed 3 times in one day - new PB.

[Big Dave]

I suffered the worst injuries i've had in 40 years of motorcycling on the capital coast adventure ride on Sunday. True.

Those are shockingly obcene photographs.

[kiwifruit]

congrats on the pb :cool:
hope you feel better soon

[Finn]

Ah man I almost threw up. Terrible! I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Also, get some sun mate!

[SimJen]

Nice wounds man,

sorry - it's adventure rider dirt under them nails.

[bugjuice]

shit man, that's terrible.. I think you need a good strong cup of tea and a lay down. Have you been checked up by a doc? you might loose you leg

[Ixion]

Oh dear oh dear. Still, if Mr Bugjuices gloomy progostication should come to pass, you may at least rely on Trademe coming, as ever, to the aid of the motorcyclist.

For a mere $20 , your problems can be solved

[Colapop]

I think I saw you lot - all over the show like a dogs breakfast (It looked like fun)

[Mental Trousers]

A new pb of 3 crashes and you didn't even break a finger nail (but looks like you squashed it)

[Paul in NZ]

sorry - it's adventure rider dirt under them nails.

Pah! I've had more fingernail damage picking my nose after a session with the matte black paint...

Looked a cool ride though and bloody good onya giving the Scrambler an outing!

Borman? Like,
'God bless Martin Borman and god bless Ronnie biggs' - Sex Pistols?
What about vege's Hitler Youth Badges on that BMW!

[MSTRS]

Thoroughly obscene. Couldn't you have waxed first??

Thoroughly obscene. Couldn't you have waxed first??
Because discovering that Dave waxes his knobbly knees would somehow be less obscene?

You were told a thousand times on internet forums that the Triumph pipes would burn your legs - why don't you listen to the experts for once in your life eh?

[Slingshot]

I was in at Motorad on Saturday when your group turned up...had I realised there were KiwiBikers amoungst the crowd I would have tried to find ya'll.

[Bonez]

A new pb of 3 crashes and you didn't even break a finger nail (but looks like you squashed it) I guess that what happens when one tries to scratch ones bum while on a trail ride.

Makes the tib and fib break on my left leg when I was t-boned by a car seem so trivial somehow............. :doctor:

Right up there with your brazilian waxed jandal wheelie shot swabby.

All the best Big Dave :)

There should be a nail salon nearby?.... pansy :lol: :P

Ahh - injuries were sustained face planting (in my open face) on the KTM SXC625 - which I did not come to grips with riding until very late in the day - it threw me early into the gorse and i was subsequently too stiff on it - when Vege gangster slapped me into relaxing on it I carved up a bit better.

I did real well on the Bonne. Dropped it on its pegs (only) once too. But there were 4 x GS1200 BMW's on their sides at the same time I was wrestling with it - it was quite a sight.

My favourite sales trainer once spent a whole day explaining the difference between 'scratching your arse and tearing it out.'

I understand you sustained a similar injury after being punched in the nose?

We found each other - and I think Merv found God.

[Bonez]

My favourite sales trainer once spent a whole day explaining the difference between 'scratching your arse and tearing it out.'

I understand you sustained a similar injury after being punched in the nose? Just the rh cheek bone dropped/rotated 3mm, also lost of feeling on the rh side of my face, nerve damage to the right eye lid, eye nerve, synus cavity damaged, and straightened front my teeth :devil2:

[OMG]

You're lucky to survive that one

[merv]

Which bike was God on again, was he that guy on the Triumph is that what you are saying? I talked to a lot of people and for about 90 mins from 11.30am until about 1pm I was at the shop proudly displaying my KB logo on my black shirt SpankMe sold me so I would have been hard to miss, but then I never saw you either Slingshot and we have met before of course.

As for crashes I had one on the morning slippery clay - lost the knob off my clutch lever. No injuries to display.

Now how come I had my last XR Honda 15 years and dropped it many times and never broke a lever? Even our new XR has been dropped and it only bent the front brake lever, didn't break it - do Honda use more resilient aluminium or something? Brendan told me at the dinner later that its only fair the dealers get the odd sale of parts out of our riding and crashing. Is that why he's not a Honda dealer any more, wasn't making enough money?

[Coyote]

Mearly a flesh wound

[Slingshot]

so I would have been hard to miss, but then I never saw you either Slingshot and we have met before of course.

I think we must have left before all of the group arrived and as we were heading out of the city we keep seeing more and more advernture bikes.

[Krayy]

I'm a bit worried bout Dave sleeping with the Uly in his room. Maybe he likes the new bike a bit too much? :laugh:

How many pints of blood did ya need?

Fortunately the publisher bought me copious quantities of Bourbon Whiskey to 'ale-eviate the pain' :not:

Stop being a big gurl.
Steal that SXC off Vege and we'll go riding (see if we can arrange some proper crashing and/or burning...).
