What a muppet

**ducatilover** · 4th August 2011, 20:08

Was being a dick today for the first time in years (I do not want to go in to details), end result is, very sore and a very, very smashed bike.

Keep it careful guys and gals, no need for ACC stats and whatnot, let me being a wanker be a lesson.

No need to have avoidable accidents/crashes.

That is all, I shall get my coat.

Quick edit: As I am usually very careful I was wearing full gear (Always do). If I wasn't, there would be lots more pain.
Quasimoto 2 piece did uber well and I cannot cay enough about it.
Helmet didn't hit the road.
Ripped a seam on the new Teknic gloves, impressed with how well they did too.
Boots are fine, they've been through hell and back.

Not that I know of, still intact. Feel/look like a dingbat, still walking (Just) and a lesson well learnt.

Still repairable and all that junk?

I was being a dick last week. Went to go for a right hander, looked for traffic, in the distance, and on the way towards me. All clear, started to look into the turn, and somehow a car was right in front of me. Panicked and grabbed a front load of the brake. Almost shit me pants to think what would have happened if I didn't see it.

I don't want to be a dick anymore...

Yeah, it does happen, but, these things can be so avoidable.
I'm hoping she's repairable, I have spare everything except forks and fairings, so I imagine I can build it up again.

Bloody hell Oblivion, that can't have been fun

Well, if you've learned something it's hardly a complete loss.

And it was probably a heck of a lot of fun right up until it suddenly wasn't...

Up your dosage of Mantrol

Well that was silly. It sucks learning what you already knew eh?

I'm glad to hear you're alright and I hope you can get your ZZR ridable again.

Not my favourite lesson. The plan is to get me working again, then I will see if it's repairable (Of course it is...I have an almost complete spare bike)
