Perhaps we need to start a new ADV catergory

Cringjuries

Thats an injury that makes others cringe when you tell them about it

Better yet lets oranise the first ever "everybody stay on ya bike" ADV ride.
Not in the Waikato though ok

A 'Last man standing ride"

Tried to change this thread name to "Broken arse bastids club", but I can't.
(I heard Dino claimed his injury was a m/cycle accident)

Just to keep Nick the Dick happy.

maybe start a new thread with all our miss haps, could be an educational thread on how not to do it, with discussions on why and how it happened as well as the usual banter

.

Just thinking mmm, this would be my first that had no connection to alcohol

FYI.
back to quacks today........ two weeks of work till the next check up, if no joy then its under the knife, if its looking better then its off to physio. he reckons 6-8 weeks of work at this stage unless i get the knife then who knows.

Ok I will start with the confessions

I fell off because I was riding dumb

And that in a nutshell is it

I could waffle about target fixation and all the things I did wrong once I was in trouble

but truth is if I had been thinking instead of just doing I wouldn't have put myself in the position of needing better reactions than what I have

As I approached the bridge I should have listened to the voice that said "Col you cant see the road on the other side of the bridge, if it goes round a corner you could be in trouble mate".
Instead I listened to the voice that said "shit its fun to go fast and make lots of dust for Dino to ride through"

Lesson? Power to brain ratio must balance for safe riding

AT ALL TIMES

i just fell over cause i wasnt wearing a hi viz

Nice write up Col

Thats a bummer Dino.
Don't overload any tendons that are trying to reknit themselves to bone etc, otherwise you will have to get sliced/diced/sacrificed.
Note. Mick Doohan had his NSR adapted with a rearbrake lever on the left side of the handlebars due to his mangled foot. Didn't slow him down much

Dibs on being the surgeon. I got a couple of pocketknives, and tie wire in the garage

**dino3310** · 6th January 2011, 07:45

Thats what i was thinking of, a thumb break bit like a decomp lever......
doc sez if no change in a fornight then it will need surgical to nit it back on

throw a bottle burbon in with the pocketknives and tie wire and your on

Awwh mate I'm in the same boat, go back to specialist on the 11th, if not all good he's gunna cut me. Arm is bent in a permanent holding handlebar position so that is good in some respects.
Seeing all the photos of everyone having fun is great

And yeah Colin I was doing the same thing roosting up dust for Deano to ride thru, he's a bugger that one, Karma must have got him.

come on guys its really just an age thing, your getting OLD which equates to........ slow to react and slow to heal

Went to Te Kuiti and back on the Scooter Wednesday, all tarseal but good to be on two wheels again

Put a brand spanking new Hiedenau K76 on the rear and a half worn Pirrelli MT90 on the front yesterday.

I am hoping they run well together, time will tell I guess. I figure I wont be going near anything knarly for a while yet (as the shoulder is still a bit tender). So may as well run road bias tyres as opposed to knobs

Hope you other two buggers get well soon, must admit to looking at beach race reports etc with some envy

I may have mentioned this before but in case its been missed, "your all bastards"

The common thread in all these accidents appears to be ............................................ DINO

Oh yeah and Hi - Vis vests

Whats a decomp lever

**dino3310** · 6th January 2011, 16:49

Mmmmm scooter now theres an idea, no foot work involved just hop on and bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbr brbrbrbrbrbrbrbrmbrmbrmbrmbrmbrmbrmbrmbrmmmbrmmmbr mmmbrmmmbrmmmmmmmm

good to hear your back up and running mate, yeah i think we gotta organise a trip south for next years beach races to give these NADS a run for there money

yep im the common thread so get the fock outa my way

and a decomp well its a..... well it just gonna help my lame leg start the pig
