Thanks everyone. Feeling pretty sore, stiff and tired now. Realised I'm going to have to get a new helmet as well to top it all off.

I have observed that that is the general purpose of a helmet.

Get well soon!

Thought the poor little bugger was gonna cry. Luckily, he had his "homies" in the car for moral support.

Lucky you had your helmet and leathers on (presumeable) or else they would have just started crackup up laughing

Sorry to hear about the bin RR, hope you get things sorted. Have you got insurance? If you do just let them fix it up and the guy will get hit with the bill, just let them know he was in the wrong and has been charged with failing to give way. Hope the hand gets better soon, know what its like re-injuring a hand/wrist that was recently broken

Ah Sue, that sux!

Glad to hear your generally okay.

As for Jimmy, he could at least have beaten the crap out of the driver (or all of them if anyone was brave...)

Would have liked to see the look on his face as Jimmy let rip with the verbals!

hopefully this doesnt completely spoil your holiday.

Glad to hear you are ok Sue... Geez two crashes on a new bike!!! Your beating me now, ive only done one crash on it...

I would personally still go through the insurance... get your money quicker...

MR i think her bad luck coincidence is similar to mine... Just like my Poor status...

**2_SL0** · 3rd August 2005, 19:06

Sorry to hear this. Hope bike and bones are fixed as soon as possible.

**Sniper** · 3rd August 2005, 19:10

Shit Riff, not good, get well soon OK.

WT well done, how did you manage to restrain yurself?

**riffer** · 3rd August 2005, 19:34

Hmmm. You didn't get that SV at the same shop that Ramius got his bike from did you?

Methinks some of these Suzuki's are cursed...

Still, you're okay - that's the main thing. Hope the scratches contrast nicely with the ones on its stablemate.

**NhuanH** · 3rd August 2005, 19:56

Sorry to hear that Sue.
Was it just plain bad luck and unavoidable, or do you think you could've stopped if you hadn't locked the brakes?
Rather than just putting it down to bad luck and hoping it doesn't happen again, maybe practicing some emergency braking might be a good idea.
I'm pretty sure when I upgrade from the zeal (which doesn't have the best brakes) I'm going to have to be careful getting used to a bike with good brakes.

Blue watch are wankers, but Green are cool Red is despised by all except those on it who all think they are the best but everybody else knows they are not. Red is reserved for high and mighty know it alls.
Hope this helps.

To be honest I'm not sure because it all happened so fast. I asked Jimmy for his perspective from behind - it was too late for me to attempt to go behind the car, so my options were to hit the car, the truck waiting to turn or the heavy breaking. I don't know whether he would have faired any better in my position. He has said to me on many occassions that he really doesn't like the brakes on the SV so that could be part of the problem.
