1098S - touring

[DMNTD]

Right...I've finally got a week off and I'm sick of bastard bikers coming into work telling how great their day of riding has been so tomorrow afternoon I'm off on a fairly unplanned trip for 5-7 days on my Duc.
Yeah I know it's not the most ideal touring bike but Unit has got the ZX14 up north atm so a honky has to make do.
Got myself a small back pack full of the essentials and will have to simply buy clean clothes as I go (read...go to the Warehouse).
So if you see a lost looking dude on a bleck 1098S pootling along wave out and show me where the local pub is will ya!
Plan....leave Tauranga tomorrow and head south...Inter Island ferry on Monday afternoon...ride south...ferry next Thursday,maybe...Tauranga next Saturday... :sunny:

[EJK]

No kidding! Going south island! Nice! Doing it on the Italian? I'll present you a walking stick when you complete the journey :sunny:

[jrandom]

Have fun dude.

Will we be seeing you and Te Manu at PMCC round 2 on the 25th?

[DMNTD]

Have fun dude.

Will we be seeing you and Te Manu at PMCC round 2 on the 25th?

Having fun won't be a problem :drool:

Oh hell yes...never ridden or even been to Manfield before

[jrandom]

Oh hell yes...never ridden or even been to Manfield before

Me neither. Well, I've been there, but not ridden the track. Been watching videos of laps recently. Looks mint! Fast, wide and fun.

[Number One]

Nice one cyril! Hope mother nature treats you kindly and the roads are clear :sunny:

[McJim]

Hey Chris, if you need a place to stay in the far far south and to park the 1098 you're welcome to use the spare room and the garage (the 1098 goes in the spare room - you can sleep in the garage :rofl:) Just PM me.

Weather outlook is good for down here Mon-Tue-Wed so far.

[sidecar bob]

Good luck with your choice of "touring bike" Chris. I did Tauranga Wanganui return this week on the RSV, im a bit out of practice with the distance stuff, but i was truly fucked by the time i got home.

[Usarka]

Utter uttter uttter bastard.

Enjoy :D

[EJK]

Don't Bin! :sunny:

:msn-wink:

[yungatart]

This is not the often threatened visit to our place, is it Chris?:Pokey:

Nah, couldn't be....I only ask cos Unit is coming to stay here sometime this week:confused:

[racerhead]

Ha cool way of getting around Im planning on doing the same kinda thing on a daytona 675 for a few months. Was planning on just putting everything in a backpack but your idea of buying cheap clothes as you go is a top one.
Good luck with the trip:niceone:

[sondela]

Long trips on Ducatis can hurt a little, but then Ducati riders can handle it!!, if you need to be shown the way to pubs around Christchurch, just yell! I'd show you some just for a look at that gorgeous bike :yes:
Travel safe..

[scracha]

AFAIK there's a vic club thingiemibobb down at Manfield next weekend if you want to get some practise in Chris.

I will be there aswell. Come Chris, you know you want to. I want to see your crazy riding (Reference: GIJOE1313).

[Scouse]

Enjoy. May the sunshine god be kind to you Chris

[Marmoot]

Got myself a small back pack full of the essentials

LoL must've been a very heavy backpack. What's in it? 4 x voltage regulators, assortments of nuts and bolts to replace ones that fall during the trip, belts, warranty documents, workshop manuals?

[bucket boy]

Nonsense, as long as he sticks to the Buller gorge and the twisties on the West coast he'll be fine. DMNTD only bins on straight roads doesn't he?

I wonder if posts like this should be considered welcome in long distance touring threads.:spanking::Pokey:

[Grahameeboy]

I wonder if posts like this should be considered welcome in long distance touring threads.:spanking::Pokey:
I think we take these posts too seriously...no different to that well used saying "don't break a leg"....there is no malice...

[pritch]

I think we take these posts too seriously...no different to that well used saying "don't break a leg"....there is no malice...

Umm I believe the saying is actually, "Break a leg."

Condolences DMNTD.

[mark247]

Oh shit, not again! Bugger man. Was this on Pyes Pa roundabout? I think Pyes Pa is cursed... The MV then this...

Really sucks,:doh:

[EroSamnin]

:shit: That fully sucks balls

[Pussy]

Stink news, Chris... we're thinking of you :(

[SixPackBack]

Oh shit hope you is okay Chris......but what about the bike:crybaby:

[Drew]

Heal fast fella.
OK so can anyone lend me a nurses uniform for a wee while?
Bike will be toast I expect, havent seen it yet.
A few broken ribs etc and the doctors wont let him medicate with burbon

[Swoop]

Aww crap!
Bummer mate. Heal quickly.


A few broken ribs etc and the doctors wont let him medicate with burbon
Why not? It's not as if a doctor can put a rib in a cast to assist the healing, so self medicate!

[tide]

FUCK... not the Duc...

hope you are ok...

[sidecar bob]

OK so can anyone lend me a nurses uniform for a wee while?

Oooh!!, a nurses uniform!!! What are you planning on getting up to while the big fella is laid up?

Well where do I start :doctor:

[EJK]

No Way......

[tri boy]

Fecking bad luck dude.
Feel for ya.:(

[sinfull]

.
A few broken ribs etc and the doctors wont let him medicate with burbonThat sucks but what do they know aye A nurse knows their patient best !

No Way......

[sidecar bob]

No Way......

[GIXser]

[limbimtimwim]

Black Ducatis are cursed.

[sidecar bob]

Yup, he'll just be in a full body cast.

[Colapop]

Ahh well - no bourbons for you then Knob Cheese! You know you really should make a habit of not falling off and shit aye!

[kiwifruit]

stink bro :(

[MSTRS]

We aren't sure if the man, the bike or the plans are cursed. When Chris talks of visiting our humble corner, he always seems to break something.
Very sorry to hear of this bad luck, my man. Heal fast. And no chasing the nurse around, you hear....

[Colapop]

Same thing happens when he talks of coming down here!! Wellington anniversary weekend in a couple of weeks might have to see if I can get the RF sorted for a trip up that way. Do Ducati bits fit on a RF?

[robertydog]

Sorry to hear mate. Heal fast.

[WickedOne]

Stink bro, our thoughts are with you.

[hedgier1]

Dude, Heal quick and let me know if ya need company. Hope ya all good.

[ajturbo]

FFS......

i am really sorry to hear matey... was really looking forward to see you !!!

heal up soon ok!!!

[DMNTD]

just found out that it was a Mitzi truck that hit me!
no wonder 9 of my ribs are in 19 pieces.

[discotex]

OK so can anyone lend me a nurses uniform for a wee while?

You mean you don't already have one? :devil2:


Heal up quick Chris. Good to hear your not too badly hurt. God damn roundabouts eh! Only plus will be guessing the outcome of the next "gone and done it" thread. RC8 worth a look yet?

[sondela]

just found out that it was a Mitzi truck that hit me!
no wonder 9 of my ribs are in 19 pieces.
:no: Noooo... your Ducati!!!
sorry bout the ribs too..

[jtzzr]

How the , What the....

Heal quick bro .

I hope Nurse Annette has an excellent beside manner:doctor:

She must have by now.:bleh:

[Nasty]

Hun .. heal fast and well ... if you guys need anything let me know.

[Winston001]

Oh no, that's a crime. And not too good that you got hurt as well, was hoping to catch up if you made it to Invercargill. But a 1098 in pieces.......I'd best have a wee lie down....:bash:

[sinfull]

just found out that it was a Mitzi truck that hit me!

Never saw it coming huh ? Fucking asehole !!! Ewwww 9 ribs, fuck mate that'll sideline ya for a while !! Tramal with ya codine washed down with a Mck 9% mate, Oh wait, hows ya liver first ?

[placidfemme]

Chris that really sucks arse! Hope you heal up fast!!

[Swoop]

Oooh!!, a nurses uniform!!! What are you planning on getting up to while the big fella is laid up?
Shouldn't that be "laid down"?:scratch::blip:

[DMNTD]

Never saw it coming huh ? Fucking asehole !!! Ewwww 9 ribs, fuck mate that'll sideline ya for a while !! Tramal with ya codine washed down with a Mck 9% mate, Oh wait, hows ya liver first ?

I don't do 'side lined' very well.
have already taken the nurse and Unit for a wee walkies.
if it wasn't for the drain for my punctured lung i'd be home by now

[mark247]

if it wasn't for the drain for my punctured lung i'd be home by now

I dont know how cracked ribs feel, but those drains for punchtured lungs are a BASTARD. Give it 24 hours and it will be blown back up again, hopefully. I found I could hardly turn over or move at all with the drain inside me because it would stab the inside of my rib cage...

Get well soon man... take it easy.

[Unit]

Good to hear your not too badly hurt.
Only plus will be guessing the outcome of the next "gone and done it" thread. RC8 worth a look yet?
Well its been a long day, but a lot of progress made this afternoon/evening.
As Chris said (from his hospital bed posting on his cellphone :blink:) 9 ribs broken in 19 places, both front and back left hand side. Also a broken left shoulder collar bone, and left lung was punctured and collapsed but was re inflated and has been draining for 24+ hours. Chris managed a 50mtr sprint down the corridor tonight (well, we werent timing him), and the movement was good for the draining of the lung. Reports are Chris not at fault (well hello, left side smashed at a round about, give way to the right isnt it?).
I'll check out the bike tomorrow, and we will work through another day.
Cheers for all the support and help today people, you know who you are :love:

As for the next bike? We have been discussing it all day, well its something to do

[EJK]

If the bike wasn't insured, the Mitsi driver would be in debt for the rest of his life... Just speaking frankly...

[sinfull]

Sweet so he'll be up and running for manfield on the 25th then !

:shit: I've only cracked ribs so can barely imagine the pain of running with 9 busted plus collar bone. He's a hard bugger.

Hope the truck driver owns up and it's all sorted nice and easy for you guys so you can focus on healing up.

I'm sure you've got it covered but just yell if you guys need anything.

[DUCATI*HARD]

As for the next bike? We have been discussing it all day

feeln for you bro!!!take it easy man!!!hopefully a 1198 maybe:cool:

[Grahameeboy]

I spoke to Chris yesterday and he is still smiling...I guess this is one way to change bikes again....

[sinned]

Bad luck Chris. The wife and I were discussing your approach to the road trip after meeting you at the shop on Thursday. You need to do the trip when the body is mended and bike fixed or replaced.

[Number One]

Hope you feeling a touch more comfy today MR DMNTD
The Monsters send their love to you and Annette :hug:

[jrandom]

Heal up fast bro. I'm super gutted we won't get a chance to race this season.

Now there's a man who backs himself.

[Storm]

Shitbox luck DMNTD. Hope things are settling down and you heal up quick and maybe even score a date with that hot nurse thats been looking after you;)
Remember to let your collarbone take its time to heal and dont rush into using and it'll be right as rain

[Brett]

Shit Chris, after talking to you on Saturday morning, I was thinking just what an awesome idea it was to go do a trip down south for a week...really gutted to hear about this. Hope you heal up quick and that it doesnt hurt toooo much.

[Mully]

Sucks Chris. Heal up fast, mate.

Oh, any maybe you should get one of them three-wheeled Spyder thingys - I imagine they'd be harder to fall off.

[Colapop]

A little birdy fluttered by talking of things may be coming... Sounds like 'lazer' or Arrrr i won... but then he was fairly trashed on drugs so anything is possible... Methinks another version of the ZX10 Mobility Edition coming up perhaps?

[Tonka]

Heads up Chris, good to hear you still with us bro! Will be in touch when you get home.

Anything we can do just ask.

[Stirts]

Hope you having a ummmmm great holiday :dodge:

Have they given you a bourbon yet? If they wanna make life easier for themselves they bloody better!!!

When you have a punctured lung, does it take twice as long to smoke a ciggie?

And with all those broken ribs, does it hurt when you fart?

[gtr boy]

know how you feel dude,in similar boat myself.
heal up fast brother.

[Swoop]

...maybe you should get one of them three-wheeled Spyder thingys - I imagine they'd be harder to fall off.
Are you mad?:rolleyes: That would take up too much space in the garage, which would mean less bikes!:(

[Mully]

That would take up too much space in the garage, which would mean less bikes!:(

Fewer bikes. Fewer for numbers, less for mass.

I'm telling. Hitcher!!!!!!!!

He could just get a bigger gargre.

[Swoop]

He could just get a bigger gargre.
A blimp hangar would be appropriate?:done:

Hope you feeling a touch more comfy today MR DMNTD
Chris managed a lot more sleep today, but oooooh he is sore of course, but made some progress :doctor:



Oh, any maybe you should get one of them three-wheeled Spyder thingys - I imagine they'd be harder to fall off.
I already suggested it :Oops:
I viewed the Ducati today, no doubt in my mind it should not be put back on the road again, its taken a good solid knock.



with all those broken ribs, does it hurt when you fart?
Good question :pinch:

[Number One]

Sleep is good let that poor bod rest. Thinking of you guys :sunny:

[beyond]

So you aren't doing the trip next week then Chris??? Huh?

What a bugga mate :( Was feeling envious till I heard this news. Heal up fast mate. I'm sure Unit will keep a good eye on ya. Are you after Evil Kenievil's record for the most broken bones from bike accidents?

What rotten luck and the poor Duc.

Some green coming your way, you need it.

[colonel]

not good chris. hope you heal well. you be back on a bike in no time

[toebug]

Bummer dude! Good to see you are in repairable condition and in good spirits too.:doctor:

I guess there is a cheap ducati for sale? Mmmmmmm streetfightered 1098s. :Punk: How long did you have the bike? Surely you were bored with it anyway and now you actually have a genuine excuse to go bike shopping again!

Heal up mate, our thoughts are with you!

[Cr1MiNaL]

Oh ffs is the bike ok?

[Mully]

I viewed the Ducati today, no doubt in my mind it should not be put back on the road again, its taken a good solid knock.

Next bike, you could buy my T-REX 1598 bro! 2.2k and its yours. (Lots left over for bling etc.)

Mean maori!

[Forest]

Just in time to replace it with a new 1198S!

Hope you heal up ok.

[T.I.E]

What to say, but can ya tell the fella to heal up soon. oh and make him laugh someone.
But hope he is all good.

[Unit]

Got any pics?? Now that the required "Hope you're OK" posts have been done.
Only took some on my cell phone quickly yesterday and I dont think I have the right cable to upload, but will check. Needless to say the frame has a big ding in it, the swingarm has a ding in it, front forks are offset and twisted, all left fairings scratched and smashed, mirrors broken and hanging off, screen gone, LCD speedo broken, left gear shifter smashed, basically anything on the LHS toast, just to start the list.
Back off to the hospital soon. Have a good day folks

[Colapop]

Time to go old school. I'll sell ya the RF for a decent price... Just got to fix that little "IT'S NOT F*CKEN GOING" problem... :crybaby:

[shafty]

[trev]

Bloody Hell Chris - are you addicted to crashes ? No wonder your sign in is De Motorcycles Now Totally Destroyed
I hope the healing process is quick, as painless as possible & complete

[DMNTD]

Right...just got back from the hospital via the pub :sunny:
Happy the drain from my lung has done its business so well!

Huge thanks to all of those that have helped out Annette and myself :yes:

Yes if the 1098S is as toasted as what it appears, a replacement bike has already been sorted for me but for now it's all about the healing :woohoo:

[Stirts]

Right...just got back from the hospital via the pub :sunny:

Glad to hear you made it to the pub OK :msn-wink:

Was gonna bake a squashed banana cake for you, but now that you going to be a house bitch for a wee while I will let you bake me one...cake that is, banana cake that is!

Seriously, glad you have come out of this reasonably unscathed. The world wouldn't be the same without our wee Chris :love:

[toebug]

about farkin time, its was all getting abit dramitic over a couple of sprained ribs and abit of asthma :bleh::hug:

LOL, after visiting last night you would be hard pressed to think much was wrong! Apart from the fact it hurt to laugh:nono:, the problam was though it was Chris cracking the jokes!

He had a rum and coke on the bedside table to stare at and plenty of mags to read, plus he had pretty much ordered himself a new bike!

I think its going to take more than a small truck to keep the DMNTD one on his arse! Good on ya mate. Oko tomorrow.......?

[gijoe1313]

Holy crapola on a Jesus wafer cracker!:gob:

I was just reading this thread and just back from Gremlin and my trip to the SI and I was thinking "Jammy bastard doing it the way I wanted to do it" ... and then as I read on I was a stunned mullet.

Blinking blardy gates of Gehenna! The biker gods hate it when you ride slowly man! We already worked out that if you did that, they punish you!

Reading the rest of the posts was a crack up, you are one tough sonofabitch! It seems the horspital has learnt their lesson from your last visit and just let you get on with healing in your own demented way! :lol:

I think you need a riding holiday when you recover from your attempt at a riding holiday!

[DMNTD]

HUGE thanks to Kiwibike Insurance (http://www.kiwibike.co.nz/) for making the process easier for me!
Bike has now been officially written off which is sort of sucky but would never feel right is someone rode the bike again due to the impact it has received.

Slow but sure I'm getting there. I reckon I'll be ready by the time my bike turns up (4 weeks) to at least be able to pootle around but I'm guessing that it'll be a while before I'm back to my version of normal.

These guys did it! They jinxed you:

An unplanned trip on a black Ducati?

In my experience, it will end badly.

Have fun (jealous)

Both of them tempted fate and taunted the BikerGodz, who then smote you with their mighty smoting smiters!

Anyway, I hope you heal fast and heal well. All the best to you, Dr DMNTD!

TBH I have no idea at all. I remember entering the roundabout and then I came to with people screaming and carrying on as if there'd been some sort of accident...my bad :pinch:

Had a cop over here last week asking me to fill out a victim impact report and found out that they thought it was so serious that they had sent someone over to find a family member to come and see me whilst I was still alive.
Poor family...I'm still blabbing like normal :dodge:
