No more bike, no more riding...

[Ramius]

Yes, as the title suggests, I am without a bike, and I am not riding, Thursday coming home I binned it on a corner. Fractured my wrist and pelvis and got air lifted out of wellington yesterday by life flight to gisborne for my recuperation period, oh it sucks. :doctor: The bike is getting written off.

I want to thank Skunk for all his great help and also Jim2 and Hitcher. Thanks guys!!!

:thud:

[TonyB]

Ow! Sounds painful. Hope you have a rapid recovery and that you get back on two wheels when the time is right.

Shit. Hope you are not giving it away permanent-like. Speedy recovery, eh?

[crashe]

Get well soon. :spudwave:

Hope you are not giving up riding thou.

[White trash]

Hope you get well soon Sean.

Sucks to have a serious off, I've been in Hospital for an extended spell due to a big crash and it sucks.

Sure makes that first ride once you're out feel all the better though.

[vifferman]

Man, that's no good at all! Sorry to hear it, Sean.

Hope you heal up really quickly and well.

[Dodgyiti]

Feel for you Dude
Did the pelvis & 4 ribs end of December
Write off bike too.
Hang in there, and make every acheivement back to full health something to celebrate :apint:

[Pwalo]

Good luck mate. That's a real bummer. Hope that the morphine's working well, and that you heal up asap.

Seems a few of us have been in the wars lately!!

[Hitcher]

Taking time out to recover in Gisborne is a great idea. Pace yourself and only get back on a bike when you feel ready.

[750Y]

speedy recovery dude, glad things weren't too serious(relatively speaking you know what i mean).

[Skunk]

:thud:No problem. Keep in touch eh? I'll post the paperwork to ya today (I grabbed the valve caps off the bike for ya. They'll be in the envelope)

[StoneChucker]

Sorry to hear that Sean... What happened? Which corner?

What do you plan on getting after you recover?

And, out of interest, why did you get air lifted to Gisbourne?

[LB]

Holy shit, so sorry to hear about this - where abouts did it happen? What happened? How long will you be in Gizzy? (maybe Skunk/Jim2/Hitcher could enlighten us if Ramius is out of action??)

Let us know if there's anything we can do.
.

[Holy Roller]

Hope you get better quick :yeah:

[Lias]

Unless I'm mistaken ramius is the bloke with the cursed bike right?

[Blakamin]

Farq man!!!!! hope you get better soon.....
llok on the brightside... you wont have to fork out for yet another mirror!

(so that was after our thursday ride?)

[Skunk]

Unless I'm mistaken ramius is the bloke with the cursed bike right?That's the bike. WMCC can have 'the cursed one' later today.

[bugjuice]

comis dude.. sucks to come off, sucks more to injure yourself and wreck your ride.. My bro is still going thru the throws of it from a bin at Christmas..

Hope you get fixed up soon!

[Skunk]

(so that was after our thursday ride?)Yep, it was.

[zeRax]

bugger dude, onwards and upwards thou, speedy recovery then go shopping i hope :D?

D: bit concerned of the day i will have my first bin, i already have an old mans hip and knees, can just picture my right hip shattering like glass grrr, that'd be a pain in the ,, hip :P

[zeRax]

and i hope you do get back on a bike afterwards, theres too many cars in the world as it is, cars take up far too much space :angry: and even in a cage it doesnt mean your safe, think of that and what bike your going to look at getting when insurance comes through, after your speedy recovery that is :D?

happened on the last turn into kaiwharawhara road from the hutt motorway. leaning on my right i think the wheel slipped on loose gravel and it threw me off to the left leaving me to land on my hip. Will be in gis for at least three weeks, been told no work for at least that period because, well, i can't sit down :spudwhat: People have been saying, oh well you wont be getting back on a bike again, i'm thinking, yeah right. I love riding. took the hospital 36 hours to notice i had broken bones :angry2:

as for things, i need a new bike, and when i get back to welly a new place to live. was meant to move out in three weeks. :brick:

[Ramius]

What do you plan on getting after you recover?

And, out of interest, why did you get air lifted to Gisbourne?

A car and a bike. No idea what yet. Got brought to Gisborne because they would not release me to my three storey flat in wellington. so it was either send me to gisborne with my family or stay in hospital until i was better. :doctor:

[loosebruce]

Pelvis, flag that mate, cant be too pleasant at all. Hospitals suck the kumara for staying in thats for sure, here's to a speedy recovery and to getting back riding asap. :cool:

[muzz]

Get well soon. Sorry to hear about your bin. Hope you don't give up riding.
There's still too much fun to be had.

[Blakamin]

If you need anything done in welly, just give me a yell.....

[Skunk]

I guess insurance will want to sight it so let me know when/where.

[Ramius]

This would have to be the largest bruise I have ever seen, and because I am the caring sharing type, you too can see it here....

[Ramius]

Don't forget about your helmet. I guess insurance will want to sight it so let me know when/where.

Cheers for that. spoke with them yesterday, they are going to just give me the money - 5 months depreciation. I just have to fill out the form. Actually all the insurance companies have been great!!

[Hooks]

Fuckin' Hell mate !! That is one hell of bruise .... Still with a bit of luck and a good insurance company you can be back on 2 wheels in no time and tormenting cage drivers all over the country ..
All the best in your recovery and hopefully there will be no lasting after-effects ...

[Skunk]

Cheers for that. spoke with them yesterday, they are going to just give me the money - 5 months depreciation. I just have to fill out the form. Actually all the insurance companies have been great!!I took pics of the bike before loading it this morning too. Do you want them? I could post them here tonight then you can download them...

Hoping for no long lasting effects, however the ortho surgeon found that an injury i sustained to my wrist 7 years ago has not healed correctly... :angry2:

[outlawtorn]

Hope you get better soon dude, hang in there.

[Sparky]

F..ck what can I say, that bike wasn't ment to be was it?

I hope all gets better soon Sean, all the best and stay in touch

[Vagabond]

Ouch, hope you recover soon and with minimum pain.
You'll know if u wanna ride again.

[madboy]

gutted... mate, and I'd only just met ya!!!

heart goes out to ya. all the best, and don't do yourself a serious "wrist" injury by spending too much time surfing those "sites" while recuperating!!

[カワサキキド]

I hate opening your posts because I always know it's going be bad news. At least from now on it can't get any worse.

Sell that bike to someone you really hate and by a GSXR.

[toads]

Bloody cursed bike!, We are gonna come and pay you a visit seeing as you are a captive audience! hehehe,
Seriously though, that is one hell of a bruise, you must be feeling pretty sore and pissed off, there are worse places to be than Gizzy I'm sure. Glad you have access to a computer, I've checked out all the bike shops in Gizzy today and they all have bugger all in the way of bikes for sale, except there is a honda vtr 250 in great condition in Gis Honda, but it didn't have a price tag. You do realise your next bike needs to be a honda don't you! Was it Gisborne hospital that took 36 hours to determine you had broken bones?, if so that is shameful to say the least.

[Holy Roller]

This would have to be the largest bruise I have ever seen, and because I am the caring sharing type, you too can see it here....
Strewth mate I feel your pain.

[Holy Roller]

there are worse places to be than Gizzy I'm sure..
Don't ever opt to go to Whakatane hospital just too many horror stories like wrong limbs being amputated.... :ar15: :brick: :brick: :brick:

[zeRax]

:blink: that is one nasty love mark dude, hope it goes away quickly, bet it hurts like hell, though im sure the drugs are helpin eh :doobey:

:rockon: get well soon dude

Captive is correct!! 36 hours at the wellington hospital. Surgeon came saturday morning and told me about the breaks. Will look for another bike when I can ummm...sit again and do this :wari:

[riffer]

Crikey Sean. That ain't good news. Tough luck about the bin.

Get well soon. I look forward to seeing you on a bike - I haven't even got to meet you yet!

[Midnight 82]

[Skunk]

[avgas]

Fuck thats not good buddy - that fucken GSX, what a cursed bike. Told you we shouldve done some burnouts on it - removed those demons and show it whois boss.
Get well soon mate, i know what its like when your all locked up at home and no where to go with an injury. Cheer up even though u see the world pass you by. It will still be there when your ready.
Live to ride my friend, dont get a cage as you soon go insane with one (been there done that).
Whever ya bored shitless, feel free to harass us here. Dont :brick:

[ZorsT]

I think the biker gods hate you, however, time heals all wounds...
get well soon

:doctor:

[LB]

Jeez Ramius, that's some bruise!

Like Blakamin said, if there's anything we can do pse let us know.

[Storm]

Sorry to hear about it mate. At least you are finally free of the cursed bike and you didnt get killed in the process.
Take it easy bro

[Krayy]

This would have to be the largest bruise I have ever seen, and because I am the caring sharing type, you too can see it here....
Dude, I feel for you with that bruise. For a mates stag party a few years back we went off to Roto-vegas and tried our hand at White Water Sledging (highly recommended). Great fun until about 1km from the end going through a shallow rapid and I let my leg drop in the water and slammed into a rock at about 20km/h :pinch: . Inside left leg had deep bruising from knee to sac and had done nerve and muscle damage. Couldn't walk once back on dry land (had to leave the boys to party later that night without me) and 3 monhts of physio and my leg is still tender and the muscles never really healed properly.

I'd do it again though, so good on ya for planning to get back on the horse.

[sels1]

Crikey Ramius thats a hell of a bruise. Really sorry to hear about your bin after our ride - what a way to end a good night out. I have only just got back to a computer to catch up with whats been happening. I have been in Gisbourne for a few days would you believe? If I had known I would have come to see you. My cage broke while I was there (ignition switch - bloody Hondas) and I had to wait for the part to come on overnight courier.
Hope you have a quick and hassle free recovery and look forward to seeing you on 2 wheels again soon
