Am I the only one to notice the above highlighted issue with this. 100km/h on a main road in town. If this true you are lucky you only hit a dog and not something more solid, or worse another person. That is why, if the posts by you and tristank are accurate, I hope you learn something from it.
Well, after fitting new xenon bulbs I thought I might go test them - going for a slow pootle heading out of town about 15k (magatapere for those who know) got to the BP and turned around, bike started spluttering at 100k as per normal (dirty tank me thinks) so riding home under heading into town just as I come to the outskirts where a 70kmph sign is I started slowing down then, I swear for the love of jesus christ himself a dog appeared - the poor bugger was sniffing the ground running towards me.
Next thing I remeber was seeing a close up of the road (look at helmet pic) then when I regained concousness, I could see the dog laying on the road wagging its tail, I felt like a kunt seeing that. and then I hear "get a hammer" I was abit upset to hear this as I thought somthing might be seriously wrong. I tried to get up with no success the jeans held together (no tears) but had both pop'd outAGAIN, got them back in an colapsed on the side of the road a very very awsome biker family (ZXR750
) helped me out and called the vet and helped the dog out.
After about 10mins I managed to regain myself and get helmet off pain everywhere I looked at my bike, and cant repeat what I said I was seriously upset at that point, but more concerned about the dog - with the help of the family they got my bike in the light of there car, and checked that the front wheel wasnt going to fall off etc.
Alot of waiting and me just thinking why the fuck is this always happening to me.
vet came and took the doggie away, It looked alot better than I thought although some blood on its face and a broken leg, I dont know about the spine though![]()
They offered me help to get home, and leave my bike there but I was determined to get home on the poor bugger and go cry to myself.
On the way home a dirty faggot reverses into my lane, I pretty much hadto lock the front well to stop in time, I was yelling and telling him what he should do with his pajaro, I just about turnt around and gave him a closeup of kevlar.
But thats my story, I dont know what to do - I dont want to ask them for money, but I'm paying the bike off and its my only transport.
Enjoy the pictures![]()
Oh the bike flipped over and I was sliding down the road about 10/20metres, most of that on my face, but my leathers and helmet stood up to it, go leather![]()
Also have a slight concusion as I'm puke puke and feel like utter arse :/
Nah it was a 70k zone, I was slowing down, hit it at about 72kmph - its on the outskirts of town.Originally Posted by onearmedbandit
Btw, no lectures - some of you have insulted me enough on other threads so please dont do anything silly.
Its depressing enough to be called a lier.
great things those helmets.............![]()
Just a damage report;
Swingarm is abit rooted, dented and dinged, was tracking all over the place on the way home (at the rear) so maybe bearings gone, or out of alignment from bent swingarm.
Fairing - as you see.
Engine has abit of damage, looks ok no leaking.
Forks look abit bent but its hard to tell with all the plastics on..
I will keep you posted.

A Harley rider down my way hit a dog recently. Didn't fall off the bike but the poor old mutt was munted. The rider stopped to check on the dog and promptly got bitten on the face and had to get stiched up in Hospital. The dog had one of its back legs half off and it was about to be Glocked when the poor sod gasped his last breath.
Sorry to hear about your accident,Would have been good if you could have come on the ride this sunday.Originally Posted by John
We're you just wearing denim jeans?
Sorry, to hear that John, hope all does well and things get better
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods
