Won't be riding for a while. Arse...

So it's yet another totally avoidable accident that will do nothing other than make our ACC stats look worse.

It's this type of attitude towards Rider's learning who make mistakes that is the exact reason you shouldn't be a mentor. Of all the feedback to give, you make a lame ass comment about ACC which is totally irrelivant when it comes to this.

The guy had an accident of his own cause, which was unintentional. Obviously your so perfect to have never done anything similar, but how about going a tad easier on those of us who are actually human.

bummer dude, thats a pretty nasty foot by the sounds of it!.. hope it heals up ok and you can get back to daily life without hassle.

those white lines are semi slippery even in the dry and im sure those lines stay wet alot longer than the road even once it has dried somewhat especially in this chilly weather

Do you really think this accident fits into the 'learner makes an honest mistake' category?

No one said anything about a 'learner', he said 'learning' which we all continue to do for our whole lives. And you know what, we all make mistakes our whole lives as well, which this was

Would't I be the only one that could answer that? what gives you the right?

I wasn't showing off or riding fast I was going to work to lock up and go enjoy my weekend, I made an honest mistake and will be paying for it for a long time to come.

e-fight e-fight e-fight e-fight...

to the OP, didn't check the time of the accident; but I remembered last saturday was pretty cold. cold + wetish + whiteline = bad ...

[IdunBrokdItAgin]

Bummer dude.

I don't agree with Katmans postings at all.

I had my first off a little while back and I know I felt the need to post on KBer as a bit of an outlet. Last thing you want is for KBers to lay into you when you are already feeling down.

Some people will read your OP as "tell me what I did wrong" some will read it as "This is what happened to me, tell me how much better you are than me". Not many get it that you might just be pretty gutted about the whole thing and are just looking for an outlet.

Sounds to me like you weren't doing anything silly and just made an honest mistake - you were wearing sensible gear and still ended up injured.

Hope you heal well and heal fast and get to enjoy your bike again soon.

You lot can sit around rubbing his back and going 'there, there' all you like.

The cold hard truth is that it is precisely this sort of totally avoidable accident that is providing plentiful ammo for those who want to see motorcycling gone.

Jeez how close to scraping him off the road or dead , does he have to be before you don't give him shit. Read your posts on a couple of threads and now i'm starting to think you might be taking this "mentor "thing a bit toooo seriously.

Your just mr fuckin perfect are'nt you, living in your own fuckin picture perfect world where accidents of any nature are a thing of the fuckin past..... HEY DICKHEAD WHATS THE WEATHER LIKE UP THERE ?? RAINING ?? CLOSE THE LID ON YOUR GARBAGE CAN OSCAR !!!

[The Baron]

Sorry to hear this - Get well soon.

[OutForADuck]

I know exactly what I'm saying.

Someone gave it a handful when they didn't need to and had an accident that was totally avoidable.

Where have I got it wrong?

Katman I usually just leave your inane comments along, but you really are an ignorant, arrogant and socially unskilled prick arn't you.

Know you are incapable, but feeling I should try, could I suggest to you that you A: show some sympathy for an injured co-rider B: Realise you weren't there and have no idea what caused the accident and C: Put a filter between your mouth and ..... well just try and filter your mouth.

Sorry but having defended you from time to time you reallly have demonstrated that your not worthy of it.

[OutForADuck]

Had my first off and whilst not done at speed she sure has done some damage.

Dude.... Sorry you pitched yourself and pride'n'joy down the road. HOpe both of you are back on top again sooner rather than later.

Take care and enjoy the hobbling and pity whilst you can

[vifferman]

Ouch!

Yeah, that's one area where even really good boots don't seem to help. Mine were $450, and have 7 carbon fibre panels in the inner boot, but the foot bit where the metatarsals are is essentially unprotected except against abrasion. I guess it's hard to protect that part of the foot while still allowing flexibility.

Anyway - best wishes for a speedy and trouble-free healing.
