How I spent my Sunday (warning, somewhat graphic)

[captain_andrey]

Locked the front going round the corner. Bike's probably a write off. Knee hit a rock hence the damage.

Big thanks to Grant, Charlie and the non KB members who stayed around to sort out the truck and the ambo.

[Sparky Bills]

Oh bugger...
Tony, Gary, Robert and myself went past the scene. Saw the bike... Glad to hear your relatively ok mate. Could have been alot worse!
Rest up man.

[Number One]

Ouch! Now use this as your opportunity to wax those skinny wee legs eh?! :lol:

Heal up and hope the bike isn't as bad as you might think.

BTW 'The Corner' which corner? Tell me and I shall try to avoid it or at the very least I will just be sure to not brake as I go around it ;)

[madmal64]

Ouch!:Oops:
Not so flash! Thats going to hurt for a couple of days! Whats this locking front wheel in a corner business? Brake on the straight!

[BALZYBUELL]

[BALZYBUELL]

THAT LOOKS ABIT LIKE OUR SHEEP LOL:gob:
oooo so you putting on a roast are yas?! :bleh:

[Duke girl]

Gee that looks nasty and you were lucky not to have shattered your knee caps with what your knees hit.
Glad that besides your knees looking worse for wear that you came out of it otherwise unscaved.
I hope you heel up fast and that you manage to get back out there sometime in the near future. Takecare.

[ttnz]

mate, bad news that looks painfull
wishing you and your bike a speedy recovery
where did it happen ?

[captain_andrey]

Ouch!:Oops:

Yep I was just stupid. Came around a narrow road and saw a wide car/caravan coming the other way. Panicked and hit the anchors before siting up the bike. I would have been just fine if i did, well, nothing.

[captain_andrey]

Oh yeah, it was on western lake road, the road to lake ferry from featherston.

[Roki_nz]

Fuck first I had my off this weekend then you that sucks. Hope you knee is going to be ok.

Hope you get better soon and back on the road

You wanna lend ME a bike? :gob: Dont you know my history? Thanks, but I wont be able to bend my knee enough to get on a bike for a little while.
Its not a big problem, as i can work from home most of the time and get a taxi if i really need to be at work.

It's a 1985 GN, they are indestructable. like superman.

[Cloggy]

Ouch! You have now convinced me I need to buy some decent pants with knee protection in them when I get back from holiday. Good to hear you are ok.

[Katman]

You wanna lend ME a bike? :gob: Dont you know my history?

Don't worry - our insurance premiums and ACC levies can take care of all of that.






:weird:

[Mikkel]

Ouch, looks nasty - I hope it'll heal up nicely, knee trouble are not nice!

Just out of curiosity, what were you wearing on your legs?

[RocKai]

Hey dude, so sorry to hear about your off mate. We didn't go with you to the lake, so we ended up going to Martinborough and back through Carterton. In this case an ABS should have let you straighten up and weave pass that caravan huh? Hopefully that knee will work again once you shower it with some booze :sweatdrop.

Heal up :yes:

[captain_andrey]

Dragin jeans, they held up fine while sliding down but the initial impact against the rock tore the hole.

[325rocket]

hope you feel better.
i have to admit, when we were waiting for the tow truck i was eying up potential spare parts for my bike haha.
if they do write it off, it would make one hell of a track bike!

[hospitalfood]

MMMmmmmmmmm. blood makes me hard!

[carbonhed]

Ouch! That's got to hurt like a barsteward. Scratch kevlar jeans from my future purchase list.

Your insurance company is going to go batshit crazy.

Hope you get mobile again soon. :bye:

[elle-f]

OUCH! We saw a bike on the hill on the back of a truck - had hit the side of the fence on the takas. What is it with you Welly people coming over and making our motorbike stats high??

Really glad to hear you are ok and in good spirits.

[prettybillie]

Oh shit that looks like it hurt!!! Heal quickly bud!!!!

[varminter]

Anesthetic, or did you just bite on apiece of leather while you took the picture. I'd have been blubbing.:gob:

Yea I saw that bike! It was nasty broken looking fence and bike. The wind was crazy strong around those few corners prior to that. Stood me up twice mid corner then I saw the bike on the truck.... I slowed the fark down after that...

I am glad that you are ok dude. Best of luck to a quick heal.

[Insanity_rules]

Andre.................. dude, I feel your pain. Hope you heal well mate. Sending you some good Karma mate. Glad your not too bad though, remember bikes are replaceable.

[Katman]

remember bikes are replaceable.

I think we've established he's aware of that.

[chanceyy]

ouchy Andre .. that sure made me wince ..



THAT LOOKS ABIT LIKE OUR SHEEP LOL:gob:

hmm I think Andre looks worse .. but sheep was prob worse (was)

[Laxi]

[nico]

[Insanity_rules]

Just puttin them up now. Not going to jack Andre's crash thread, I have my own.

[carver]

what, no one is going to tell him off like some little kid!

if their had been another bike coming blah blah blah, most bins wins!

[Mikkel]

Dragin jeans, they held up fine while sliding down but the initial impact against the rock tore the hole.

Did you have the Draggin Knox knee armour inserts in or just the jeans?

[captain_andrey]

Just the jeans, knee pads would have made a big difference.

[davebullet]

I hope you heal soon and there isn't any cartilage, bone or other joint damage. Looks like your knee took quite an impact.

As to some of the others lecturing / being sarcastic, I don't think there is any need for that. Rider recognised his mistake.... I'm glad we don't have an RIP thread here.

[_intense_]

Oh yeah, it was on western lake road, the road to lake ferry from featherston.

My least favourite stretch of road in the Wairarapa.. Am i the only one out here who get s the shits going up/down that stretch of road, its nasty, had a close call there with some youths doing a bit of tar-seal rally driving. Is it possibl to petition/request LTNZ (?) or whomever is responsible to get corners widened or paint markings put down?

Or am i just being soft?

[captain_andrey]

Nah, got an xray done and everything is where it should be.

[Kinje]

There is a hot nurse in welly hospital that goes the extra mile for CBR600RR riders :wari:

[Charlie41]

I'm glad you're ok. It suxed seeing you like that :crybaby:

Soft!

Its a great piece of road, teaches one to expect the unexpected.

My wife even agrees with me - for once.

[Pex Adams]

Told you, should have bought a Gixxer.. Atleast then you would have had an excuse for dropping it:shutup:

[Maha]

what, no one is going to tell him off like some little kid!

if their had been another bike coming blah blah blah, most bins wins!

Its called 'selective posting' carver.....:yes:

[YellowDog]

Nah, got an xray done and everything is where it should be.
I was going to say that looking at those photos hurt me more than it hurt you. Perhaps not.

Good news that there is no serious damage.

A lot of us have had recent bins. Mine was nothing compared with yours. Hope it's not too long before you are back on that horse!

[Bullitt]

Not good to see. Hope you get better soon Andrey...and your insurance company dont decide your next premium is the same value as a CBR:Oops:

[The Pastor]

you went to hospital for that????? you wuss. i did worse damage and i didnt get it looked at till i had walked back home, got the trailer (although i did get help with driving - too much blood) loaded the bike back on, got the bike back home, and fixed the bike before i put a plaster on my knee and elbow.

you softie

[captain_andrey]

There were no cars around to drive me home. But after sitting for 4 hours in hospital waiting room I was considering just going home.

[carver]

i once ran from a crash site when the cops showed up.
it was not even my fault!

i ran to the local pollytech to get medical aid, it was about 1km away

[Roki_nz]

I know how you feel 3 and a half hours for me only to have a doctor squeeze my foot for a min asking where it hurt and then tell me I was fine and could go home. Did they at least give you something for the pain/boredom while you waited?

[RoadRacer04]

Yep I was just stupid. Came around a narrow road and saw a wide car/caravan coming the other way. Panicked and hit the anchors before siting up the bike. I would have been just fine if i did, well, nothing.

Dude!....... Done the same thing, only to a slightly less extent, about a month ago. Knees all good now but man it sucked. hope your back on 2 wheels sooner rather than later.

[xxcbr69xx]

Good to see your injuries not too bad.

Did ya find your radar detector?

[captain_andrey]

Nope, anyone got a metal detector i can borrow?

OUCH for the knee, and OUCH to Draggin's sales figures after this post...

[Bullitt]

Id be surprised if anyone bought draggins thinking they would help from an initial impact. Theres a reason I (and most other people) own draggins as well as something more substantive.
