Str8 Jacket Dumbarse!

[Str8 Jacket]

Well last night on the way home from work while indulging in some "extreme filtering" on the A I had a car do a U-turn right on top of me..... Long story short... I was lucky, Broke a bone in my foot and because they couldnt put a walking cast on it last night (2am) I am just about to go back to the hospital now and get one :( I hope they have them in black.

On a side note.... Codeine is niiice! :D

[Colapop]

Yeah but, how's the bike??!!??

[sels1]

Ouch thats no good Hels. Happy healing. Hows the bike?

Take a couple of weeks off...you can stay up late and watch the RWC games :)

[Str8 Jacket]

Luckily the bike is OK. I managed to ride it home. The foot peg is bent right in but can be straightened as can the lever. Ive just started a new job so cant take any time off work but im sure they're wondering why they employed me already!!

[Colapop]

Sing out if you need a hand, Hoppy...

[Nasty]

Codene is nice for the first day or two .. and then it causes constipation ... just a side effect warning ...

Hope you heal well ....

[Trudes]

Heal well Helen, my god, you are the most unlucky (or maybe lucky.....) person I know, we need to wrap you in cotton wool everytime you mount a bike!!:rockon:

[davereid]

Codene is nice for the first day or two .. and then it causes constipation ... just a side effect warning ...

Drink lots of beer as well, that will overcome the constipation !

Hope you heal up good.

You haven't had constipation until you've had codeine constipation...

[vifferman]

Bad luck (or is it bad riding? :blink:), Dude.

As for codeine, up to 25% of the population (including the vifferbabe) can't metabolise it, so it's useless as a analgesic for them!

[gijoe1313]

Owch .. glad to hear you were able to ride home and still with us! So now the insurance claims kick in? Hope you heal up well and get your ride fixed ... any pics later showing damage? (To bike! Not to you! Eep! :blink:)

Oh shit. Well, look on the bright side ... ahhh ... nope. Never mind.

So, you are going to get one of those big arse casts that has a shoe-like sole thing?

Its an A100 man!

No need to insure a bike that can be fixed with a sledgehammer!

Seriously tho, I had a look at the bike and altho Str8 Jacket will probably downplay it a bit ;) the meaty steel peg was bent right back, the bending had been done buy her foot, as it hit the side of the car, you could actually sorta see how the bike damage, injuries and clothing damage all matched up.

If I had seen just the footpeg bent back I would have thought It was worse than a broken swollen bruised foot.....

[Freakshow]

Dave

Yeah is it going to be one of those casts that leave your toes hanging out the front so that the wind gets them and are really cold!!!!:Pokey:

[chanceyy]

ahhh bugger hels hmm so then he would be in the wrong .. wots the charges for doing a U turn in front of someone causing injury

heal up fast girl :D

[Meekey_Mouse]

Aww no! That sucks Hels :no: Hope ya heal up quick :grouphug:

[Str8 Jacket]

Well I have just got back to work from the horsepiddle. They re xrayed my foot. I have at least 2 or 3 crush fractures :( due to the swelling they have put me in a "halfcast" until the 15th Oct where they'll re-xray it and I should be able to get a fibre glass walking cast. They gave me laughing gas while they put the cast on and the codeine is messing with my head so im not sure aboutthe quality of my work today..... Time to send one of my staff out to get me food I think! Im real lucky with my job as they sent a taxi to pick me up from the hospital and they have bought me a beautiful bunch of flowers!

[Lteejay]

Bummer. Heal up fast chick - summer is here.........well nearly

[Macktheknife]

Glad work are looking after you Hels, really glad you are not worse off than those couple of little fractures.
Good luck in the new job, heal fast and well, try not to smash up cars with the mighty A ok? lol
best of luck
Mack

[Deviant Esq]

Sorry to hear about your crash, and glad you're still in one piece! Heal up fast. :hug:

[fireball]

crashing suck eh?!

hope you heal well and fast and on 2 wheels in no time!

[merv]

Sorry to hear it, heal up real quick. Hopefully you don't have any cost hassles like Col has had - is the car OK and no repairs being claimed off you?

Sounds like you got a really, really good job this time mate!

Ouch for your poor foot, hope it settles and heals as it is supposed to.

Take care eh!

[Str8 Jacket]

The car didnt stop. There is minimal damage to the A as my foot took just about all of the impact. If the cops come after me then i'll pay up but I did pull over and wait for the driver and they just kept on going so im hoping nothing more will come of it....

[quallman1234]

Glad your ok! :Oops::bash:.

Take it easy mate.

Does the mighty A do a 100kmh?

[Str8 Jacket]

Glad your ok! :Oops::bash:.

Take it easy mate.

Does the mighty A do a 100kmh?

It reaches 90!! :D

[quallman1234]

It reaches 90!! :D

Too bad i dont have the DT anymore. We could of had races :P.
:shutup:.
*Currently dreaming about the KRR*

Hope you heal up fast! :soon: (So u can test ride the KRR if i get it of course!)

[Lissa]

Cor Hels! Can you take it easy, I think you have enough bins and things for the next year or ten. Glad you are okish.... :yes: Maybe when you have healed a bit, you should TRY and bring the A over the takas.. or at least to the top.. surely if a GN can do it the A can?!?!?!?!

[Skunk]

Jees Hels, heal up soon. Remember the Bucket meet at the end of the month... you'll need to be 'riding fit' for it. :crazy:

[Leong]

Bummer... but guess it could be worse. Hope you heal up well and quick. So you going up to Taupo VMCC next weekend then?

[Str8 Jacket]

Yep, sure am! I'll be stuck on crutches but im looking forward to it! :)

[Colapop]

bring your cast so we can all deface it!!

[Maha]

they have put me in a "halfcast"

So i wasn't the colour you were hoping for then?.....:cool:

[Str8 Jacket]

Unfortunately due to the swelling they put a half cast on it...


So i wasn't the colour you were hoping for then?.....:cool:

Nah, its material bandage on the outside so plain old cream. The plaster bit doesnt actually meet and the outsude is covered in bandages to allow for swelling so no writing on it Col! Maybe if/when I get my fibreglass walking one then maybe, but not if its black! :p
