Well I just got the dreaded call from the Insurance company and with the bike insured for $13000 and repair costs at $11000 they decided to not fix it :bye: To my trusty steed,
:sunny: Now looking at the market, but still waiting to see how much $$$$
I end up with.

Whilst here I thought I'd give you an update on myself, I'm now able to drive the cage around with minimal pain killers, although I still can't sit for too long.
Shit even being mobile in a cage feels good, I have another doctors appointment tomorrow to acertain if i can start work again, Living on ACC sucks ! Although I'm also gratefull for it, I guess boredom is getting to me.
See you guys on the road soon :niceone:

Glad to hear you are coming right VB - slowly but surely. Everything else is secondary. :wavey:

One day I'm going to own a bike that can be insured (I've never paid more than $2000 for a bike) then I might just write it off for the hell of it,I've still got lots of things to do in this life yet by the looks of things.

[StoneChucker]

Thats good to hear mate, I'm sure it'll be a speedy recovery from here. And I'm extra glad to hear you're already thinking about what to get next.

Oh, I can totally relate to enjoying the driving around! Granted, my bin was nowhere NEAR as bad as yours, but I still don't have a bike, and had a niceISH DRIVE up the Paekakariki hill the other day, making my car do what it was designed to do. (ALthough, glancing at the speedo was rather disappointing after riding my bike, not that you NEED to go fast to have fun, but you know what I mean).

PS: Painkillers OR drink, not both :msn-wink:

WOOHOO A WRITE OFF!!!!, Lookis like a 600 is on the cards :niceone:

Glad too see your having a speedy recovery :niceone:

[loosebruce]

Mate good to hear you're getting along well, sounds like you're recoverying well, shit i couldn't sit down proper for almost two months after my intro to hitting concrete roadside objects.

All the best with a finding a new bike and look forward to seeing you on the road again :2thumbsup

[Firefight]

Glad your coming right VB, sorry to hear about the bike, did not think it looked that bad, but what would I know(not much it seems).

F/F :banana:

[Blakamin]

Good to hear things are looking up.... you'll be back on the right amount of wheels in no time! :ride:

[Joni]

Im sorry to hear about the bike my dear...
Maybe that CBR600 is closer than we thought. Whatever you decide on, its good to know you are on the mend.
See you soon.
:2thumbsup :ride:

[Ms Piggy]

It's good news that you're recovering...even if it is slowly. Bummer about the bike - so have you thought about what you want to get yet? At least now you can spend some of your time thinking & looking at what you might wanna get.

[MOTOXXX]

good to see ur ok brother.

its hard driving a car with one hand and on pain killers.

[Vagabond]

So you can still do important things, like :drinknsin right?
Oh yes ! But can't ride yet no bike :baby:

<_< Mate all you gotta do is buy something that causes you to pay through your arse and insurance becomes a necessity :bash:

I know where u comming from I didn't think it would be written off either, but with a bent frame that costs $5ooo it just pushed the costs.
Looks like I don't know much either :kick:

On the mend yes but when I asked the Doc if I could start work on Monday next week, he said "You must be dreaming !" :doh:
He went and booked me off for another 3 weeks, and I only got 3 weeks after harrasing about the 4 weeks he wanted to give me !

Can't even really think about my next ride, until I'm sure how the old spine is gonna handle it, maybe i ought to buy a Harley chopper :ride:
heh heh heh :shutup:

Well, I don't think a cruiser's the best bet if your back's stuffed.

You should be able to buy another CB900 with your insurance money, shouldn't you? Or have you decided that it isn't, after all, the best bike for every occasion...?

Take you time my friend... make sure you 100%, no need to rush your recovery.
Lots to look forward to when you up and running again... :ride:

I was looking at replacing the Hornet with a CBR600RR even before the accident, but seating position will mean a lot from now on, or more frequent stops, ahhh FAGS

[aff-man]

well on the cbr600rr you'll get there a hell of a lot quicker hahaha (p.s. they have a reasonably priced new 2004 one in mt eden at the moment) But make hopefully you're back to 100% soon. I can image the gotta ride gotta ride now twitch is setting in and you're going to get pretty cranky soon hahahahahahaha

[DEATH_INC.]

There's only 1 bike for the job.....a GOLDWING!!!!! :msn-wink:

Glad to hear you're up and about now.....yeh,acc sucks I'm only just back full time after the last 12 or so months....
I'm not really surprised about the bike,it looked pretty crook,and it hit the ground pretty hard. :eek5:
