Aprilia strength testing by Sensei

[Sensei]

Well 20ys with out an off so I have had a excellent run but all things must come to an end tho & today was my day ! 100k & lowsided the RSVR in the wet was a great lowside didn't even get a front slip warning just straight down bike held up blood well for the big slide . Stripped everything off that needed replacing so Happy to be here & that the bike didn't tumble roll . Was abit of Fun really apart from looking at my Baby all covered in mud & scratches . :Punk:

[MotoGirl]

Phew, what a relief to hear both you and your bike are both OK!
Did you manage to grab any pics of your mud covered baby? I'm keen to see how an Ape holds up...

[ajturbo]

hell matey!!

that is good??? news??


take care old thing!!

[TKDSKIP]

one off in a couple of decades is a bloody good run.glad to here you are ok and bike is able to be repaired.

[McJim]

It's one of them weekends innit?

Glad you're walking wounded mate.

[Goblin]

Sorry to see you had an off Sensei. Not good at the best of times. After seeing flame's 'Pril after her wee lay down on the track, I hope yours fared as well. Glad you are ok too.:yes:

I had a pretty good run with no bins in 12 years but had 2 in 2 months to make it up. :pinch:

[boomer]

will it wax off?

[Pussy]

Good news that your protective gear did the business, Scott, very good news!

[madmal64]

Glad to hear you both survived.
Not nice when there is no warning and the next thing you know is that your sliding down the road.
You know what the cause was? Tyres?

[nadroj]

What him or the bike?

[gijoe1313]

Good to hear you're okay and sounding quite chipper about it :yes: Hope the bike isn't too badly off and everything fixable!

[cowpoos]

will it wax off?
haha...your a cheeki funt boom boom!!!

Stink luck dude...it happens to the best of us ;)

[beyond]

Good to see you posting about it and still here in one piece. Good gears worth it's weight in gold :)

Shame about your bike mate, hope it's not too expensive to fix.
Gotta laugh at the people who tell you when your bike starts to slide you do this and you do that and you can save it. yeah right? It's all over in a split second, one second you are looking at the your exit or apex point and the next you are looking at the sky and the road sliding by underneath you.

There's no time to do a darned thing when she decides to let go at speed.

[MD]

Shame Sensei but the good news is you are OK.
You might want to think about editing your post "xxxkph in the wet". That sort of loose lips talk could bite you in the bum at insurance time. I'm sure you would have been doing more like 99kph in those conditions.

[Sensei]

Was a typo MD but thanks for the heads up , if it was any faster I wouldn't have walked away totally unhurt & the bike would have been Toast ! Cheers all for repys

[jimbo]

Glad you okay :rockon:

[redeye40]

Sorry to hear about the off Sensei,glad you're not badly hurt,although looking at a scratched and dirty priller can't have been painless even with the adrenalin racing round your system.
Good luck on the healing/repair front.

[Dazza]

Good luck on the healing/repair front. Yeah I had to feel for him (I mean his machine) standing there looking @ the prevoiusly spotless machine all dirty & looking a wee bit worse for wear.Bloody lucky really, the bike & Sensei came off not too bad all things considered, is the forearm a wee bit sore today Sensei :yes:

[Clivoris]

Hey man. I'm glad to see that all the important things are good. I look forward to hearing more about your off once you've had a chance to unpack it a bit. I'm still suprisingly tentative over a year out from mine. Is your insurer coming to the party?

[kiwifruit]

Fookin neeeow!!

[MSTRS]

Just seen this....Damn. Joining that illustrious company...

[pritch]

Was a bit of Fun really apart from looking at my Baby all covered in mud & scratches . :Punk:

Jeez Scott don't develop a liking for that stuff too much.

Seems you are OK which is the main thing, sorry about the bike though.
And as of February I do know how you feel...

[flame]

awww bugger! glad your not badly hurt and the spirits are still up tho :)

Good news the bike's not too hurt either. Hope she's all back in fine form real soon:yes:

I know the feeling of havin an off after along period of staying on the bike. Sounds like you and the RSVR came off lughtly which is allways a great thing. I'd have to come down to Burwood Spinal Unit and biarch slap ya if you ended up doing what I did when I came off my MX bike bro. Hoping that the cost of repairs is not too high and if there is anything I can do to help just give me a holler. I guess those leathers will have to go on hold until you get the Aprillia sorted back to its former glory. Bloody good bike it is, I'm not sure wheich I enjoy the most. Looking at it or listening to it, I suspect its the latter as it sounds farking awesome. :innocent:

[SpeedyGirl]

You best look after yourself up there babe or I will come and give you a good slapping!!!! :spanking::girlfight:

[Sensei]

Well things don't sound to good for the bike went & seen Dave at " Kiwibiker Insurance " & he has 2 other Aprilias there 1 is written off already & the other has done 30k of damage so mine is looking very much like been Written off at this stage Bugger !! Oh well will wait to hear back about the parts I have asked to get some $$$ figures for & go from there when the Accesser come out to have alook . The old grapevine works fast here as Insurer knew about my off before I got there today at 10am thanks to someone phoning him . Better start looking for a new Aprilia me thinks :yes:

[EZAS]

In cases like this ... are you hoping its written or would you want it repaired?

[SPman]

20 yrs, eh. Its a bugger, innit!
I had 38 yrs without seriously hurting a bike then ZAP - 2 write offs in a year!!!!
I didn't think they were going to write off the second one and was sorely pissed when they did! - doesn't take much these days......
Still - as long as you're in one piece, it has to be all good.

[Dazza]

The old grapevine works fast here as Insurer knew about my off before I got there today at 10am thanks to someone phoning him . Better start looking for a new Aprilia me thinks :yes: Who would do a fuckwit thing like that, I'll buy the wreck off you for a $1 when they write it off (or your excess) :yes:

[Clivoris]

Who would do a fuckwit thing like that, I'll buy the wreck off you for a $1 when they write it off (or your excess) :yes:

My bid is the exccess plus $2. Surely it will be more use to me?:innocent:

[Dazza]

My bid is the exccess plus $2. Surely it will be more use to me?:innocent:I'll raise it $1 :first::niceone:

[Clivoris]

I'll raise it $1 :first::niceone:

:devil2:Quickest naked lap of manfield wins the bike, a fruit-basket and a certificate of achievement?

[Dazza]

:devil2:Quickest naked lap of manfield wins the bike, a fruit-basket and a certificate of achievement? I'm wearing full leathers, you can go naked though (oh you mean our bikes), looks like i'd be @ a disadvantage as I see you have a race mule which means you probably know your way around the track. Why don't I name a piece of public road (be a closed road for 40mins,makes it safe & all that) & your on :yes::devil2: & you can keep the fruit basket ! Should really get buy-in from Sensei first I spose !

[Clivoris]

Sensei wont need to know till it's all over. Surely, he's busy enough without having to worry about the minor details of disposal?
And don't be fooled into thinking I know my way around Manfield. I think there are at least 27 bikes in the Actrix Vic Club winter series F3 class that get around faster than me. The ultimate irony is that I'm probably even slower around there on my Tuono. More evidence that I really need the bits off Sensei's baby.

:gob:You sunk my battleship. :laugh: Bang on target.

[Sensei]

May turn it into a race bike for myself & get another road bike with the change left over !

Hell Im in too late :angry: I want the swing arm & rear shock!

[DemonWolf]

Hows the bike situation Sensei??

[howdamnhard]

Glad you came out of it OK.

[Boob Johnson]

Yeah lucky boy to come out without a scratch. What happened with the insurance? Written off?
