Crash in Mission Bay (18 Nov, pm)

[slickaz]

Hi Guys,
Last night while i was having dinner around 9pm at a place in mission bay next to starbucks, a biker was waiting for the lights to go green. i was admiring the blue suzuki R he was sittin on, hoping one day i could get one, then the lights went green, he wast turning left, he revved, i think he reved too hard, im not sure, but then i saw the rear wheel skid on the turn and he wobbled a little before hitting the ground hard but his bike took major damage as it crashed and tumbled on the road, ending up next to the busstop infront of starbucks, almost hitting someone seated at the busstop..i saw the girl jump up n run out of its way..
the poor guy got up and was very shaken..we helped him up and checked if he was ok and called an ambulance..and we had to leave soon after the ambulance picked him up.
i hope that it was none of you, and i also hope whoever he is, that he is ok, because someone said that he seems to have broken his shoulder, from the way he hit the ground i thought it would be worse off, but i hope his protective gear did its job.
his bike was most certainly a write off..poor lad i felt so bad for him..i dont think he was trying to show off..just think bad line up of occurances. truly hope that it was nothing serious and that insurance cleared his monetary worry..
God Bless.

Man another gixxer crash in Mission Bay. Hope the rider is alright.

[Riff Raff]

The rider is ok - has injured his shoulder but will be allright after a bit of R & R. Damned cold tyres, eh G?

I'm sure he'll tell the story when he's ready.

[slickaz]

phew..im glad hes ok..i was worried shitless coz the way he got up..you shoulda seen the response tho..people from cars driving past stopped and jumped out, people eating and serving food ran to him..its nice to know people still care....anyway glad to hear he's doing good..

[janno]

Nice to hear everyone went to his aid. There's so much negative crap in the papers these days it's easy to believe that the compassion has gone . . .

[Qkchk]

The Gixxer curse has struck again!

[Cr1MiNaL]

Its not the fall its the embarassment I'd pass out from ! poor guy I know how u feel.

[chanceyy]

It was me.. :crybaby:

Just going to have lunch.. be back in a jiffy to tell youse what happened

:eek: ouchy speedie .. hope your ok there mate

[NotaGoth]

Geez Glen.... Not good.... I hope your shoulder heals up and fast...

I'm just glad to hear you've walked away relatively ok though... ;)

Any thoughts on what your next bike will be..?

[gijoe1313]

Bugger. Sorry to hear about the incident, hope you heal up quickly! Have fun shopping for a new ride!:pinch:

[jrandom]

Glad to hear no real damage was done to you dude!

Sounds almost identical to the crash I had a while back, except I managed to land awkwardly on a thumb and smash it, and it was a greasy road rather than cold tyres that got me.

All part of the game.

:)

Now, I think this is my cue to convince you to switch to something Italian next. I seem to be getting good at that...

[Mikkel]

Anyway so I was heading into town to do an errand and phoned Boomer to see if he wanted to head into Mission Bay for a beer..

Went and had 2 beers at de Fontein, nice they were too.. spent about an hour sitting there yarning away to Boomer.

Now I was turning right onto Tamaki Drive from the carpark to head towards city, there is an intersection with traffic lights about 20 metres further on. As I was turning right onto Tamaki dve, the lights went orange so I gave it a little bit of throttle to get through them while leaned over... and now stone cold tyres...

Bike looked pretty sad, not much left on it. Then the ambo's came (oh great.. it was my ambulance from my station... I had handed over to this very crew only 3 hrs prior!!). Right shoulder was bloody sore, wondered if I had broken something.
So off to Hospital where all the staff had fun poking and prodding me. X-rays said I was clear of fractures, Just bruising and a damaged AC Joint.. all good, some lovely pain relief and a sling and I am on my way home!!

So if I can say one thing is that, I was just gonna wear my bike jacket and jeans and "safety shoes", but for some strange reason I said.... nah I will go the one piece leathers.. welllucky I did eh cos I slid right through the intersection, and not a mark on me!..

A few things I'm tempted to comment on... but good to hear you're alright (ATGATT ;) ).

I hope your insurance agent is a nice fella :yes:

[Devil]

Bugger!

Time for a 675 now? :P

[DMNTD]

So now,... what bike to get next??

'Tis the last one left in NZ (http://www.amps.co.nz/alt-indiv.php?id=329?reloaded=true)

[crashe]

Blardy hell young fella, you rest up....... and enjoy your time off work.


Glad to hear that you are ok thou.
Shame about your bike....... oh well time to go bike shopping and lots of test rides when you are able to.

[Lteejay]

Some people will do anything for a new bike :msn-wink:

Glad to hear the injuries were not worse and hope insurance doesn't mess you around.

[tide]

Bugger dude... sorry to hear at least you're not to banged up....



'Tis the last one left in NZ (http://www.amps.co.nz/alt-indiv.php?id=329?reloaded=true)


always spreading the word arn't ya... :bleh: ... :eek:

[EJK]

Ouch! sad to hear man.

So... is it time for a new bike did you say? lol

[0arbreaka]

Hey mate, that sucks big time.
Glad to hear your leathers did their trick, probably the best investment anyones ever made. Gixxer curse strikes again..:crybaby:

[Grahameeboy]

Bugger mate, get well.

Now I will probably get 'holier than thou' jip for this but from the road code

A yellow signal means stop, unless you are so close to the intersection that you can't stop safely.
A yellow signal indicates that the lights will soon turn red.

2 beers?

ScienceDaily (Sep. 19, 2002) — COLLEGE STATION, September 18, 2002 - For most drinkers, knowing when to say when occurs a lot quicker than they think. A study by Texas A&M University's Center for Alcohol and Drug Education Studies shows that even a small amount of alcohol - in many cases, as few as one or two beers - can seriously affect judgment and driving decisions.

I await grief but at same time lessons to be learned.

[jrandom]

yellow... 2 beers

*rolls eyes*

You just couldn't help yourself, could you?

Just for that, I'm going to the pub before I ride home.

[Grahameeboy]

*rolls eyes*

You just couldn't help yourself, could you?

Just for that, I'm going to the pub before I ride home.

No, but I said it nicely, no rude words.

Why go to the pub when you have Bombay Sapphire at home??

[jrandom]

Why go to the pub when you have Bombay Sapphire at home??

It's kind of like how I have you at home, but I keep riding to Hastings to visit Stickchick.

[Grahameeboy]

It's kind of like how I have you at home, but I keep riding to Hastings to visit Stickchick.

Not true, I get everyother weekend.............

[Brett]

Bugger Glenn! Bet your Ambo mates really took the piss! Good to hear you got away with only minor injuries from the over-road and expedition. Next bike?? 675 is a good option...or as DMNTD noted..the KTM. oh...or the new KTM out shortly.

[crashe]

*rolls eyes*

You just couldn't help yourself, could you?

Just for that, I'm going to the pub before I ride home.


No, but I said it nicely, no rude words.

Awwwww you two are like a old married couple.....:crazy:
Next you will be telling Dan, that if he ain't home on time, that he will find his dinner in the microwave and that he has to heat up himself......:clap:

:eek5::dodge::eek5::dodge::yes:

[Grahameeboy]

:eek5::dodge::eek5::dodge::yes:

No, it's in the Cat, if you want it you know what to do....

PS-Good to pass...I mean catch up with you yesterday on the highway

[Mom]

Hi Guys,
Last night while i was having dinner around 9pm .........


Damned cold tyres, eh G?


Just going to have lunch.. be back in a jiffy to tell youse what happened

Got to love a small community really........LOL no secrets here.

Bummer about the bike mate, AC joint injuries hurt really badly at first, settle reasonably quickly, but then come and get ya again and again when you least expect it......reaching up to get something etc.....

Hope you are not too sore, and enjoy the shopping experience once insurance has settled.

[crashe]

No, it's in the Cat, if you want it you know what to do....

PS-Good to pass...I mean catch up with you yesterday on the highway

Oh so that was you......!!!!!!

[Grahameeboy]

Oh so that was you......!!!!!!

Geeze, I thought you knew it was me.....especially as I was covered in leathers, helmet etc......

[crashe]

Geeze, I thought you knew it was me.....especially as I was covered in leathers, helmet etc......

But but you weren't wearing your housemaid leathers...... you know the set you wear when doing the housework and cooking Dan's dinner....

See with you just wearing ordinary leathers and you could be anyone..... out there riding... But if you were wearing the housemaid leathers then I would have definitly known it was you...... :rolleyes::banana:

(pt)


Glen - Take care mate and heal up fast (keeping it on topic)

[Grahameeboy]

But but you weren't wearing your housemaid leathers...... you know the set you wear when doing the housework and cooking Dan's dinner....

(pt)

That's a great response......................

[Mikkel]

It was two small boutique beers over an hour, wouldnt have even registered on the alchometer. It takes at least 6 beers for me to fail youth.

Just to be an arse - but you must obviously have found out that the limit was there one way or the other...


It was nothing to do with that, absolutely unaffected whatsoever.

simple mistake thats all.

If I made the "simple mistake" of writing off a vehicle after having had any amount of alcohol - and feeling "absolutely unaffected" - I'd still question whether the alcohol had any effect. ;)

At least the only substantial damage was material!

[White trash]

Ok so heres the thing.
Thanks Slikaz for your kind words, interesting seeing a bystanders opinion.

Anyway so I was heading into town to do an errand and phoned Boomer to see if he wanted to head into Mission Bay for a beer.. he did.
So anyway into Mission Bay, parked up at the little bike park across the road from Movenpick, near the beach. Went and had 2 beers at de Fontein, nice they were too.. spent about an hour sitting there yarning away to Boomer.
So anyway, time came to leave so we hopped on our bikes. Now I was turning right onto Tamaki Drive from the carpark to head towards city, there is an intersection with traffic lights about 20 metres further on. As I was turning right onto Tamaki dve, the lights went orange so I gave it a little bit of throttle to get through them while leaned over... and now stone cold tyres... back lit up, came around to meet me in the front and then superman styles onto the road, hard on my right shoulder and right side of my head. Bike cartwheeled and tumbled on down the road a bit coming to rest against the curb by the abovementioned bus stop. Fark it I thought. Anyway I hop up real quick and do the quick check of all the amenities which seemed intact. Then after that there seemed like hundreds of people coming out of all the bars and resturants and from the beach, all wanting to help. It was quite overwhelming to be honest, it was so many people in my face, they were all trying to help and everything which was great but I just wanted to sit and rest and think about what I had to do. Bike looked pretty sad, not much left on it. Then the ambo's came (oh great.. it was my ambulance from my station... I had handed over to this very crew only 3 hrs prior!!). Right shoulder was bloody sore, wondered if I had broken something.
So off to Hospital where all the staff had fun poking and prodding me. X-rays said I was clear of fractures, Just bruising and a damaged AC Joint.. all good, some lovely pain relief and a sling and I am on my way home!!

So if I can say one thing is that, I was just gonna wear my bike jacket and jeans and "safety shoes", but for some strange reason I said.... nah I will go the one piece leathers.. welllucky I did eh cos I slid right through the intersection, and not a mark on me!..

So now,... what bike to get next??
What an absolute crock of shit.

I gots da REAL story right here.

Glen's been managing and crewing for WBP racing that long, he decided to get in on the "Let's chuck it away on cold tyres" buzz. And in true WBP style, we don't do things by halfs :D

Glad you're (mostly) OK bro. Looking forward to goin bike shopping with ya. Motomail's got the new 312R in stock. You could do worse.

[White trash]

You're obviously an authority.

You don't think a respected ambulance officer knows the dangers of drinking to excess before riding? As an ambulance officer, it'd be pretty easy to find out how many beers it'd take to put you over the limit as well don't ya think?

[Sollyboy]

Hope that guys gonna be ok , theres so much diesel and oil on the roads and it happens so fast

[Mikkel]

You're obviously an authority.

Obviously.:rolleyes:

I'd certainly hope so on the first bit. However, we were never talking about drinking to excess here...

As for the last bit I didn't know that the ambulances did the drink driving policing, but obviously I could be mistaken on that count as well.

[discotex]

Then the ambo's came (oh great.. it was my ambulance from my station... I had handed over to this very crew only 3 hrs prior!!).

Did you ask if you could drive?

Sucks so bad being loaded into the back of the ambo eh. You guys do a really great job as I'm sure you found out.

Heal up fast mate!

Wanna come bike shopping with me? Mine's a recent write off too :)

[carver]

i know what you mean speedie
i had some wicked fishtails and slides on my old cbr on cold tires.
its not hard to do on sports tires and a bit of throttle.

[Qkkid]

Glad you alright mate join the dark side my friend make it green tooo :whistle:You can share being pulled over by the cops all the time with me. They like green

[kneescraper]

WOW, so sorry to hear the bad news mate...I know all to well about dropping a bike because of cold tyres..it sucks and is really annoying.

At least you were helped by so many different people which is so awesome of them :)

[Edbear]

A few things I'm tempted to comment on... but good to hear you're alright (ATGATT ;) ).

I hope your insurance agent is a nice fella :yes:



Wot he said! Glad you're okay. We got a big enough shortage of you guys!

[skidMark]

serious point here...why do gixxers always cut the rear out so eays...just in genral i hear of so many gixxers being totalled orund coro loop etc doing corners at same speed as everybody else...is it to do with the very short wheelbase?

or is it just good old gixxer curse?

[tri boy]

glad your OK.
Did you drain the "Laughing Gas"?:dodge:

[jafar]

Bad luck there speedie , How is the shopping going ? :mellow:

Gixxers are one of the easiest bikes to ride. That is their problem in my personal opinion.

You think you are doing 160 but you're doing 220-260 .... then woops.:shit:
================================================== ====

Sorry to hear about your crash G, hope you had insurance. Or are you gonna have to catch the train/bus/walk like KB's original idiot.
Time for a gixxer thou mate - get a K5/K6 - best real-world bike ever made.

[bugjuice]

sucks bro.
mend up and get another bike
was gonna text ya today actually!

[Blue Thunder]

:Oops:Touch luck speedie guess you took the training wheels off to soon:Oops:
Nice to see its only your arm in a sling! it's usually your arse:bleh:
What to buy next ???? maybe something with THREE wheels:scooter:

[Keystone19]

Jilly... I need a nursey....:love:

[skidMark]

hmmm yeah but like oarbreaka (patrick) was following my mate tony out piha tony threw his little cbr 250 into a corner going perrty quick trying to get knee down....which he couldnt get at that stage...

and patrick came round at same speed possibly slower because hes a n00b.... and just lost the rear and stacked it......i mustve heard of 10 gixxers going down in the last month from loosing the rear mid corner.....maybe all the weight comes off the rear mid corner....

heck i dunno i might look into it...either way i'm never buying a modern gixxer not withcurrent frames..... and the fact of being well known for crashing...going to go 07 zx6r or 06-07 zx10r..but cannot decide...

08zx10r is bloodey hideous....yuck.

[Gremlin]

either way i'm never buying a modern gixxer not withcurrent frames..... and the fact of being well known for crashing...going to go 07 zx6r or 06-07 zx10r..but cannot decide...
yeah... the kawasaki's don't use the same frame materials or anything do they? Why, I bet its still steel! Riders are the ones mostly in control of the bike. Certain brands attract certain riders... fact.

speedie, damn shame to hear... I know you liked that speshal bike of yours... :( Least you're not hurt too bad (besides the ego anyway)

Can I just point a couple of things out to the miss guided youth of today and not get infracted for going off topic? Thanks.

1) Gixxers crash more often? Yup. There's probably twice as many post 2000 GSXRS on the road than any other model of Sports bike. Then consider that ANY late model sportsbike has a huge front end weight bias and also that the majority of owners leave the suspension as it left the factory pleading ignorance.

2) Back on the frame buzz? Riddle me this O instant expert on frame manufacturing. I load MY GSXR frame far more than can be on the road everytime I ride the bike. And this is me, not Andrew Stroud of our mate Mr Shirriffs or Robby Bugden or Ray Clee. They take it to a whooooole new level. GSXRs at race tracks are like asreholes, everybodys got one. So where are all these catestrophic frame failures you seem to know so much about? I've yet to hear of one on the track.

3) Please do get the ten, and hurry up about it. I need a rider trainer. Ta.

She lit up alright Glen, Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarp!

The Hilda Ogden of today;


bro!!!! you got a bike like mine now!!! maybe if we stick the two together...we can have one???? we'll use your motor though...mines fucking gutless acrodding to recent dyno test's!!!!!!

Mate, i'm tempted to say, sitting in the garage, it almost looks as bad as yours did :wacko:




The funniest thing after the fact was the 2 chickies that were full on doctors; or rather claimed they were. One was the hottest lookin Blonde i'd seen in a while whilst the other was pissed out of her tree.

She kept on slurring and telling you to take ya t-shirt of; i had to have a quite word with her and politely ask her to foook of!

Same with the crowd that built up, i could have charged entry fees to the gawkers on the side of the road and when i said 'thanks for coming everyone, the shows over now, have a safe journey home' it was like every one came out of a trance and just left.

k8 black and gold .. :first:

[spudchucka]

So now,... what bike to get next??

How about a Monster??

Hope you are OK.

[Cajun]

Sad to here about ya off Glenn, get well soon, and looking forward to what you get next.

Fine fucken mate you turned out to be.
Tell me you at least got their numbers.

Why worry about it now? Just relax, you have about 15yrs before you need to decide about the 07 or 08 anyway.

[Blue Thunder]

And as for you mr blue thunder......Can I borrow your training wheels when your done??? Might have to wait for Robbie to give them back first tho eh??

I never had any:whistle: I will ask Robbie if you can have his now he can't get his leg over:Oops:

[sprag]

sorry to hear about your bin

[slickaz]

Glad to hear ur ok Glen..
yeh you looked abit dazed but more so looked like you needed some space..but mate i spent some time on sunday reading about Backfire/Razya's crash and couple hours later i see you hit the ground, it kinda brought the possibility to reality. i mean i dont know you but u were on a bike and ur a fellow human being, so obviously the people there were worried about you...understandably.
but from your position i can now see it wouldve been a little embarrasing or just needing some space to let reality smack you...

anyway i went to the lights right after it happened and on the road i see black skid marks showing u fishtailed..but i didnt wanna mention that you let'er rip incase people think you were trying to show of or be a dumbass at the lights.
hence the line " he wasnt trying to show of just line up..."

anyway one minute eating dinner n the next minute seeing a motorcycle cartwheeling..with the lound crashs..but we were real glad you actually stood up..

so anyway not to make it a big deal tho..so im just glad you're ok and i apologize for posting it ahead of you, i just wanted to check if it was anyone on here and more importantly if the rider was ok..got the answer...good luck with buying a new one..



ps BOOMER:
lol yeh i noticed the tipsy blonde tellin him to take his t-shirt off..

yeh after you said "shows over..."!! people just kinda walked away..i guess some people were just standing around to check out the damage..kinda sad that they didnt help him up and check..i saw a lotta people just checkin the bike and like "wow..that bike is ******" rather than actually checkin on Glen..

[mynameis]

Good to hear you're ok Glenn, but seriously I think boomer must have spiked your drink to take advantage of you, but couldn't. Cold tyres, orange light and speedie..ppff..I'd blame boomer.

Heal up and happy shopping!

And skidMark, I hope you have enough coin to buy some decent panties and toilet paper for yourself before the 10. :D

[justsomeguy]

heck i dunno i might look into it...either way i'm never buying a modern gixxer not withcurrent frames..... and the fact of being well known for crashing...going to go 07 zx6r or 06-07 zx10r..but cannot decide...
08zx10r is bloodey hideous....yuck.

There nothing wrong with their frames mate, dunno where you got that info?

Have you test ridden a modern thou Mark? You sure you wanna buy one before spending time on a 600? By spending time I mean riding a 600 until you can comfortably sit in the fast group of the trackdays or be near the front or lead the medium group.

Your call in the end, thous cost more in tyres, in insurance, chains, etc. Are you prepared to spend on all this? Will you still have money left over for maintenance and track days?

Just something to think about bud. All the best with whatever you choose.

It's good to have a life and a motorcycle - not choose between one and the other. :)

Best wishes whichever bike you get.

-------

So Glen what have you test ridden? Ever thought of a Buell or KTM??

The weekend isn't that far away :)

[boomer]

Fine fucken mate you turned out to be.
Tell me you at least got their numbers.

He wasn't in any mood for lovin.... he needed a lie down..So whilst he went of to the ozzie I took both the girls home and showed 'em a proper time

and yeah i got there numbers alright; one was a 34b and the other a 36C.
