Righthander, country road, cow shit, munted Shiver

[shafty]

Bugger.

Good outcome.

Just remember the millions of great decisions/inputs before beating yourself up about one whoops.

You are someone who gets out there all year round. Occupational possible hazard.

Best wishes.

Piripiri loves Velcro.

Why does that sound like a C-grade 80's movie for some reason?


Bummer Hitch'. Hopefully a speedy recovery/repair to both of you.

[Urano]

Mrs H should have told you to stop with those dangerous bikes and to get a safer vehicle.

...i've been trying the rsv4 yesterday, did you see it?



happy you're ok, bike will be fine sooner than you, so don't be sad about her..

[carbonhed]

Right ankle very sore.

Voltaren FTW

Doesn't do anything for the sulking though. Unfortunately.

Bummer about the crash.

[p.dath]

Sorry to hear about your off Hitcher. Sounds like you'll be on the road again soon enough.

ps. I tried extra hard to make sure I spelled everything correctly.

[vifferman]

I'm sorry to hear about your 'off', Brett. I hope everything is sorted tout suite, and that there are no complications with you or the bike.

[mashman]

Glad you're in 1 piece and got home safely... if the bars off an RSV will fit, I may have some spare in a week or 2's time

[NZsarge]

Shit happens

Poor Shiver, glad you are okish.

Oh man! I was strolling through hoping no one had used that line but alas you bet me to it...

Sorry to hear about the get off Hitcher, 'tis the downside of riding country roads with all the extra drama you have to watch out for despite them being less populated and what's worse it's the kind of thing that can happen to anyone.... Btw, I hope you didn't get covered in the stuff.

[Gremlin]

I thought you really liked that bike?!

S'ok, no fairings, mucho cheaper to fix

[HenryDorsetCase]

Suck.

bet you're really feeling it today, not just in the ankle.

As for the bike, at least with the fantastic parts and backup service afforded by Aprilia NZ, hell, its probably fixed already........

[dangerous]

Life is a sequence of moments. We make choices. We reap consequences .the road was liberally festooned with cow shit, as country roads often are. I ran wide to avoid it, running out of seal in the process.

Farking cow shit, Id have done the best to avoid it myself, however and Im thinking this is the lesson to be lernt... like any other kind of debri on the road, IMHO do not ulter ride line prepear for impact (or splater) if you slide at least there is room for recovery out the other side.

Giant crap on the xmas tree Hitch, like your opening line says however its not always the case, put a sticky on the shiver and ya self good luck to you both with healing.. honest H Id thought you to old for this kinda shit (oun not atended

ps: altho it wasnt the turds that put you down, aint there a regulation were a farmer is resposable to clean up after there cows?

[Edbear]

Doncha jes' hate it when that happens! Glad you're not too badly hurt. You must have clocked up a fair few k's on the Shiver by now?

[Paul in NZ]

Please be more careful in the future Mr Hitcher - you are far too nice a chap to get all bent up an broken...

[merv]

That certainly would have been enough to send a shiver up your Shiver (and your own spine) but glad to hear you are OK.

[toycollector10]

Glad to hear you're OK. Imagine if you had your knee down in the turn giving it the fang! Could have been a lot worse maybe?
