That's just way to tempting not to kick ...

Cheers mate my boots are steel capped as well, but the bike impacted on the side of the foot just where the steel cap finishes and the soft boot starts crushing the foot against the inside of the steel cap. Very unlucky.

Ya know murphys law is, if you are wearing steel caps it will almost always land in the middle of your damn food and miss the steel cap!

We are all aware of white lines and take appropriate care when needed, particularly when wet.
Why councils' and transhit are allowed to put a glossy substance on the road without adding a non-skid additive is surprising.

Well, obviously not all of us.

Perhaps if the OP has that much trouble with throttle control he should have stuck to his 250 for longer.

I get tempted to join the forum discussions every now and then, but they either dont stay on subjet or dickheads get involved, like Katman. Seems that it isnt worth the time....might forget the forums and just ride. The people I meet that actually ride arent that critical.

Katman, have you ever had a wheel slip unexpectedly on white paint or smooth seal you never saw? Surely you have made at least one mistake in your life?

[crystalball]

Not nice to come off your bike exspecially if you been hurt. Well relax watch t.v and internet and have a beer or 2. summer you be on the road.

Pretty much any painted line here is an accident waiting to happen when it rains. Riding when there is a typhoon makes it even more interesting.

Hope you recover soon and can get back on the bike!

90% of motorcycle accidents can be attributed to one of two things - bravado or incompetence (or a mixture of both).

Until we're prepared to take a good hard look at ourselves and realise this fact we will continue to have needless accidents that will cost us all dearly.

so wankman...........have you got some facts to back this statement up or is it just your opinion............after reading some of ya other posts personally i think MUNTER fits you better than mentor...........and i agree.......you need to have a good long look at yourself dickwad

Oh wow, it's time to use the report button I think.

I'm trialing a new approach towards mentoring. It's called the 'Wake the Fuck up to Yourself Method'.

See, the way I see it, all the "there, there", "oh, you poor thing", "here, thiswill make it all better", isn't working.

If instead, people were given shit about having totally avoidable accidents they might actually start thinking twice about the manner in which they're having those accidents.

I say drum into people the concept that "you fucked up" instead of "ah well, never mind - better luck next time".

I am sure the OP showed evidence of reflecting on error he made which contributed to the accident as well as provided an fair assessment of the condition at the time of his crash. It's easy for us to point fingers and say 'well, you shouldn't have done that' but I am sure OP has learned plenty from his experience...

In my humble opinion, your brand of mentoring is bordering on abusive and isn't constructive by any stretch of definition.

There's nothing like the adrenalin when you scrap your toes in a corner at 205 klicks ..

I like to keep my levels of social unacceptability pretty high ...

The faggotry displayed in your post just soared above Katmans.

I fucked up I readily admit that, I made a mistake lots of people do maybe not you but lots do.

What gives you the right to act all mightier than thou? Are you so perfect to have never made a mistake, even an avoidable one?

To be honest Katman I think you get off on the attention you bring upon yourself every time you jump down the throat of someone who says " I made a mistake " or "I fucked up".

I dont need you to tell me to "Wake the fuck up to myself" I have weeks ahead to think about where I went wrong, mind you every time I go for any ride I always think about what I could have done better and what i will do differently next time.

We should always be learning every time we ride.

Thanks for all the words from everyone else, filling in my days with Morphine at the moment, don't know how I'm going to handle six weeks of this.
