Binned the KTM

[DMNTD]

Got my bum high sided yesterday after what had been a awesome ride through parts of the Coromandel.
Rear tyre hit a bit of diesel(cheers The Stranger for checking that) and the bike stepped out and biffed me over the top before I knew anything had happened.
Fortunately I always wear good riding gear which saved my bones this time.
The Superduke isn't too bad considering it went down the road at 90-ish kmph and I've just got some heavy bruising.

Shit happens at anytime...good gear is essential! :yes:

[Kendog]

Crap.

Glad to hear you are not feeling too bad.

[Cr1MiNaL]

Bugger Chris,
Just goes to show that even experienced riders go down occasionally. Shit happens to the best of us. Glad ur ok and even better that you can now bring the 10 for the coro loop on the 18th :yes:

[mattimeo]

Ahh I feel your pain! Glad you're alright anyway... Totally agree about the gear thing. Makes all the difference. Hope your Duke isn't too scratched up.

[Nasty]

Dude .. bruising hurts so heal well and fast ... bummer that this happened but you are so right about the gear!! :yes:

[Maha]

Whats the 'Buy Now' price?....might have me good little collection by weekends end....:yes:

[Mom]

Ouch mate! fuken diesel! But like you said good gear is the way to go. Take it easy for a bit eh?

:love: Mom

[Grub]

So quick, so vulnerable, so pointless, so much a piss-off.

I feel for you Chris, did anyone get to see it from start to finish? My greatest regret is not having anyone to tell me what happened and not getting any style-points.

[Blondini]

FARK mate:gob:Glad you are okish,:yes::love:

[DMNTD]

LOL! Sorry Grub but alas no there were no motorcycling witnesses to said event to give me a score on style! I did give myself a solid 9/10 though. :sunny:

However I'm very grateful to the 4 car loads of people that stopped to check me out. They were more than a little surprised when I got up,took my helmet off to reveal a big arsed cheesie smile...I mean fark...I survived being flung on to the oncoming lane. :yes:

[gijoe1313]

Crikey! :gob: I didn't mean for you to take it literally about flying! :slap: Glad to hear you are okay, shucks! Poor ol'KTM doing supermotard action in a way unintentioned!

Hope you heal up quick and leave that fun stuff out for a while!

[Mom]

Might buy you some spurs and chaps for your birthday Flyboy. That way when your steed throws you you will have appropriate attire which will add to your style points for sure!

[MotoGirl]

I'll give your Shoei an 8/10 for the style of scuff :dodge: If anyone wants to buy you new gear, another lid should be top of the list me thinks :yes:

[Mom]

Ummmm now he's going to be in trouble! :spanking:

[Leong]

Glad you're OK Chris.... So that VIP trackday with Aaron Slight didn't turn you into a trackday junkie then......

[jrandom]

Well done on avoiding any real injuries mate. The gods were smiling on you.

:first:

Highsides really make you wish there'd been a camera rolling, don't they?

[kiwifruit]

Fookin neeeeow!!

[Cr1MiNaL]

Miss Maggie M'Gill, she lived on a hill.
Her daddy got drunk and left her no will
So she went down, down to Tangie Town.
People down there really like to get it on.

:done::clap:

[MSTRS]

C'mon DMNTD - I never picked you for a 'me too' sort....:innocent:

[NotaGoth]

Glad to know your okay though.. Poor thing... Rest up Chris.. ;)

[Zapf]

[qldzxr250a]

[jtzzr]

I hope you`re all good bro , bloody show-off , PS I`m thinking TEC will do you just perfectly for next weeks ride .

[T.I.E]

[MyGSXF]

Bugger dude.. glad you are ok (ish) :yes: & hope the bike will be ok too!! :Punk:

Jen :rockon:

[TKDSKIP]

that blows, good that you are sweet. got to have the good gear eh.

[Colapop]

I'm not glad you're ok. Silly bugger - you're gonna wreck all those bikes before I get to ride them!

[terbang]

Ouch, bloody diesel. Congratulations on your first solo flight too..!

[scracha]

Mibby you should take up plastic welding Chris :innocent:

[nodrog]

farkin nOOb!

[Donor]

So, about that mentoring session... *cough*

[Holy Roller]

Glad you are Ok
Seems that one picked the wrong ride to go on:dodge:

[eviltwin]

duuuuuuuuuuude, that sucks!

[beyond]

What a bummer :( You were riding so well that day as well but you can't do bugger all when you hit unseen diesel.

Poor old Duke.

Yep, good gear, you gotta have it. Ending up in the oncoming lane is a real worry but like me last year, you got up and walked away still in one piece.
Real lucky of course as it would be a different story if a car was coming the other way at the same time.

Heal quick mate, hope the Duke is easily fixed.

[Pancakes]

Good shit your alright! Hang that sucker out boyeee! You have too many cool bikes dude, (too many, heh, doesn't exist!)



(I know, wrong bike but the pic deserves a post)

[boomer]

What a bummer :( You were riding so well that day

i've never seen a shock get so much use.. the thing was getting a right old hammering.

glad your alrighty Christopher. I will get round to editing the vids. Unfortunately there was poor lighting cause of the cloud cover and trees but i have seen the clip where i give you the learn on the left hander .. she'll be up sometime in the week.

Also saw a funny clip of Gordie and Enigma seeing which Gixxer owned the road :)

good times bro

and would you believe Dovers Camera never captured a thing.. bloody plonker

[surfchick]

[jimbo]

[Macktheknife]

Really glad you are ok mate, bugger about the damage to the duke but that is a lot easier to fix than you. Yay for good gear and the brains to wear it.
Be in touch soon my friend.

[Clivoris]

Good escape bro and love the cheesy smile.

[Scouse]

Sorry to hear about the bin Chris I hope both you and the Duke are still up to next weekends ride, like Paul says it could have been so much nastier if there had of been some oncoming traffic. I think you probably should make the font a bit larger on that Quote in your signature

[Dazza]

Shit happens at anytime...good gear is essential! :yes:Good to hear that your all cool, PM with the damage details,mate dropped his the other day 800m from his house on cold Dunlops (dulp !!) & a few dollars to get it looking all prestine again !!!

[tide]

Aargh... not the Duke... can't make her look any uglier can you... :dodge:

Glad you ok though...

[DMNTD]

Good escape bro and love the cheesy smile.

[cowboyz]

That will learn you for cheating on the Ninja.

Actually, you should buy a GN250 (R) and leave the big bikes for the woman to ride.

[Grahameeboy]

Popped into see Chris Sunday and his hand and foot were well sore........but he seemed quite happy at his PC looking up Nitros Kits for his Kwak.........

but hers has less scratches on it.......

And somehow that doesnt surprise me. Because the ZX10 needs more go...........

[Kornholio]

Might buy you some spurs and chaps for your birthday Flyboy. That way when your steed throws you you will have appropriate attire which will add to your style points for sure

[Crisis management]

Sorry to hear about the off, DMNTD, and glad you're ok. Take it easy out there, eh!

So, matt black this time or maybe a new age vermillion?

[Cr1MiNaL]

This time hes not getin anything ugly.

[Cajun]

The bin really has highlighted that despite ones best attempts that it can happen at any time. LOL...have had a fair bit of ribbing from people that don't believe I was being sensible/legal at the time,however I was....for once.

I can concur with these remarks, i mean he was behind me of all people so he had to be doing well under the limit.

[kiwifruit]

Correct...I will not be getting a R6 :sunny:


LMFAO :first:

[nodrog]

cajun is actually a very fast rider, he just doesn't get involved in silly races on public roads

[Matt Bleck]

Timmay!!!!!!

[Ralph]

Mate, just found this thread.
Bummer about your accident and glad your ok, could have been a lot worse
from a high side.
At the end of the day shit happens (I know) but thats why we pay insurance.
Hope you mend quickly and the insurance doesn't piss you around to much.

[Cajun]

fark, he must have been in reverse!

No he was in first, once he gets in second then he can pass me.


now now,
cajun is actually a very fast rider, he just doesn't get involved in silly races on public roads

Nah i am keeping the misses company, yes thats the one thats a good excuse, i use that one.

[MotoGirl]

He's telling the truth - I rode the Bandit because it goes slow enough for me. :zzzz: Where's Hedgie when you need him?

[Kornholio]

I can concur with these remarks, i mean he was behind me of all people so he had to be doing well under the limit.
