Oh you nub, that was a pretty tidy bike before you owned it.

[one fast tl1ooo]

Glad you are ok..

[Squiggles]

it'll buff out

[rustic101]

Bugger me. I hope your bike is covered by insurance, then again, weather it is or not is not that important as you were lucky to walk (limp) away moderately uninjured.. As you say thank fark for wearing the right kit

You appear to have come close to going under the belly of a car and even at low speed this would not be a good thing.

Pleased you were not one of those fatal statistics.

Oh you nub, that was a pretty tidy bike before you owned it.

Saw the crash pics, been waiting for you to post. Least you are alive.

A similar thing happened to me two weeks ago.

I never realised how lucky I was to walk away in one piece and I'm sure you're thinking the same thing.

Word of advice, keep some panadol/nurofen handy for the next day ... you're gonna feel like shit and if you don't, you're luckier than I was!

[NedKellley]

Glad you are in one piece and able to tells us all about it, you will soon be back on the road....and just to reiterate your good advice...always wear your gear!!
Hope your week gets better mate!!!

From my recent experience,

GSXR + diesel patch + all the gear + oncoming 4WD = sad looking GSXR + walking rider + large insurance claim

Glad you are OK.

Pleased to hear you are O.K Cracker (considering!!).

Not a lot you can do when you hit a patch of road like that at the wrong time. Hope you can rest up well and mend all your bangs and bruises as quickly as possible. Thank goodness for protection huh?

Take it easy bud - well done for walking away.
