Motoxxx takes on 4wd and looses

[MOTOXXX]

went out for a ride over paekakariki hill yesterday and a land rover pulls out of a drive on a blind corner. i braked and cliped the side of him which threw me off into a concrete power poll.
im ok and came out of hospital last night with a very sore knee and a seperated shoulder.
i think the bike is ok but i havent seen it yet. ill post pics up soon.

[Cajun]

bugger thats no good glad all is okay tho

hopeful bike not to damage,

[jazbug5]

Oh, crap!

Glad you're not too badly hurt, though...(?)
Bloody four wheel drives. (spits)
Hope the bike is relatively unscathed, mate. And hopefully you get back on the road again soon...

[MrMelon]

Oh shit dude. Bad luck.

[Cajun]

get any special bits of paper for ya troubles?

[MrMelon]

yep :(
This ones going to hurt the wallet a bit.

[Paul in NZ]

Ouch! Bad luck!

Lot's of places for that to happen up there.

I suppose it was a road registered and fully legal Land Rover? Not your usual farm hack?

Either way. get well and let us all know if you need a hand with anything.

[Blakamin]

Shit!!!...what time was that dude??? hope the bike gets better!

[MOTOXXX]

just been to look at the bike. not too bad realy from the quick look i got at it. all indercators, mirrors gone, both pipes dented, tank dented, fairings scratched. its wheelabe and stands up ok so thats a good sign. i think shes mostly cosmetic damage so far. Im fairly gutted about the bike but i know things could have been a lot worse that what it was.

Thank god for the spike leathers that sparky bills hooked me up with. They well and truley saved my ass big time. I dont think i will ever go back to cordura. I dont have a single scratch on me, just the shoulder that has seperated its self about an inch from the rest of me and the sore knee.

Big thanks that went out the people that helped me when i was flat out on my back in a neck brace for 6 hours.

You never realise the value of an ambulance until you realy need one.
Ill be back on two wheels as soon as i can. A little older and a little wiser.

Thanks for support guys

[dhunt]

My Goodness, not another one. Glad you are aren't too bad, and hope the bike isn't too sick either. So what needs doing to the shoulder?

[MOTOXXX]

basicaly its just got to stay in a sling for a couple weeks.
gota go get my pain killers today.

acc has given me 2 weeks off work. Im gona try and get back to work as soon as i can. Ill go nuts at home for that long.
i dont know how people on the doll can do it.

[jrandom]

Ouch. That's gotta hurt, dude, GWS.

It's just not the KB good-luck month, is it? Maybe we should all just take the bus to work, buy Harleys and spend our weekends polishing them.

Did you hurt your neck (As in brace in pic)?? You look a bit out to it in the pic. What did you hit? Well any way get better quick.

[White trash]

Motoxxx was just in and he looks alright, except for his arm in sling.

Chin up son, you'll heal soon.

[enigma51]

Sorry to hear bro that shoulder will hurt for a while but after a few hours in the gym (after its healed of course) it will be all good. Your lucky that they did not want to put a pin or two in. I take it that it was dislocated (Cant spell) rather than broken

[MOTOXXX]

na not broken or dislocated. its what they call (i think) a class 2 seperation which they said isnt too bad. yea very lucky indeed. no pins required as far as i know.
i was on morphine in the photo hence the fukd look. The brace was just incase i did hurt my neck. I was in it for a good 6hours tho. man those things are uncomfortable.

Neck brace comfy! Hell no i hear that one mate, neither was the bloody back back board they had me one in the ambo on the way to the hospo, with the 50cm long brusie down my arse and leg.
That hill and dodge car drivers are quite common, had more than a few near misses myself when i lived down that way.
Bad luck on the bin though mate, and really do hope you get back on it very soon.

Guess i wont be seeing you at manfeild on the 24th, was looking forward to showing you how mush better an S is over an R :Pokey:

Get well soon man

[JohnBoy]

bad luck dude! these things only ever seem to happen to nice bikes, get well soon bro. was going to come down to manfeild on the 24th but cant make it. will catch up in nov to see how your doin.

[Velox]

Like MrMelon was saying, the cop told us that he had to "scrape a guy off the Paekak Hill earlier today" on a yellow VTR. Not quite a VTR maybe. We asked how injured 'you' were and he said you had to go to hospital with a neck brace but it probably wasn't too bad. He said something about 130ks but who knows - he was on a "anti-speed" theme at the time. Good luck mate!

[Ms Piggy]

Arrrrrrrghhhhhhh! Glad you and your bike are both relatively unscathed. Hope you're back on the horse soon.

[Sparky Bills]

Whats this??
I here that one of my mates crashes from a fellow parts man!
Piekok hill claims another one!
Welcome to the club bro. Good on Spyke leathers! :Punk:
Take it easy dude.

[MOTOXXX]

Na no way was i doing 130 kms
was more like 110km and scrubed it down to about 80km. If it was 130km i would have hit the 4wd at about 100 and i wouldnt be sitting here right now.

i have to wait to tommora coz thats when the cop comes bak from holiday so i can find out who the other driver was etc.

the cop was a real good sort and even rang me from home to tell me hes off duty till wednesday.

Yea that back board sure is uncomfortable allright.

Cant wait till im all better so i can get bak on a bike again.

[aff-man]

Bugger man. Hope you and the bike are up and running soon :beer: :niceone:

[MOTOXXX]

Just had a call from GAB Robbins wellington

thell be lookin at her today and if shes fixable then itl be going down to White trash ville. Take care of my little girl for me WT

[White trash]

Kearneys just dropped off the TLR.

yes please Motoxx if ya don't mind wouldn't mind looking at pics aftermarth

[MOTOXXX]

Yea go ahead WT.
i havent realy seen it proply yet.
If it will go back to its prev condition, id love to have it back. was barely a fucking scratch on the thing.

apparentley i went down most of the side of the landrover discovery and the foot peg punctured a couple holes int the pannes of the car.
i heard the guy say that if i didnt lock up the back wheel i could have made it. thats bollocks. no fucking chance if ive hit him along the whole vehicle on my side of the road.


the police have to go and take measurements of the tyre marks and where everything ended up to determine if i was speeding. which im sure i wasnt.
for anyone who wants to look for it, its near #465 which is towards the pauatahanui side of the hill

it didnt feel like i was speeding but who looks at the speedo around a corner eh? im just realy worried that they will say that i was and take my licence or something off me. i dont know how accurate they can be. i hope they dont get it wrong.

[MOTOXXX]

oh and its Eamon dude and not amon

common mistake wt.

:2thumbsup

[Blakamin]

Yea go ahead WT.

Barely????? shit man, i couldnt tell it wasnt off the showroom floor!!!!!

Hope you're feeling better now.... Might run over the hill with the camera tomorrow and get some evidence for ya! <_<

thats 2 suzis in 2 weels on the hill ...some poor bastard dropped his 1200 bandit last nite!

[MOTOXXX]

i think the bike is ok but i havent seen it yet. ill post pics up soon.
ouch, the shoulder thing is a bitch, but coulda been a shit load worse aye good luck with the bike too.



Bloody four wheel drives. (spits)
Jaz
ohhh yuk...... what did I do? ya know its not the 4x4's fult but the drivers aye :eyepoke: best I keep my truck hidden from you :msn-wink:

[MOTOXXX]

haha yea those 4wds

ive talked to the lady that was driving and shes realy nice about the whole thing.
its just bad luck that she lives on such a bad corner.
the cop that was there said hes been to 2 accidents there in the last 2 years.

ouch

[jimbo600]

Saw you bike yesterday man. Fark you are lucky to have two legs still. I know what your going through though mate. Hope to see you back on two wheels again soon.

[Marknz]

Bad luck Motoxxx, hope you're well soon and back on two wheels soon after.

[White trash]

:brick: Ouch! :brick:

bugger, bet MX that when you look at those pic's the pain from the shoulder and leg goes away....... nice bike man, I havent seen those markings on a TLR before it's not too over done and what are the cans you have on board?

BTW the 4x4 wasent backing out if the drive was it? as I'm sure that, believe it or not that is illlegal, could be wrong of course, not that it really matters.

[MOTOXXX]

na it was driving out all normal like. the thing is on that corner you kind of have to nose out too see around the corner.
those are two brothers pipes. breaks my heart to see her like that but it doesnt look as bad as what i thought it was gona b

[Marknz]

saw the skid and paint marks for police analysis on the hill this avo. Very hard to tell if it looks bad or not cause I'm not trained in that sort of shite... but I'd suggest you're skid mark "might" be a little too long to get away with it. Hope it works out for you MotoXXX

Interesting thing for me at the time was that just after going past the scene at a reasonable pace, I realised I wasn't covering the rear brake... sent a little shiver down the spine and had that sorted for the rest of the ride.

[toads]

very sorry to hear about this, hope your injuries heal quick and your bike is all sorted soon too, it is a beautiful bike and I'm sure the damage isn't too bad, it looks to be cosmetic, your leg had a very lucky escape, it's a wonder it didn't get crushed

[LB]

Hope you're doin' okay now Motoxxx. Sorry to hear about your spill, hope you're back on two wheels soon.
