    Yep, another thing to take into consideration. I going to go ahead and factor it in, just to play things on the safe side.

    Yeah, interest x 2 here.
    With my beer tinted glasses I'm ready to biddy battle,
    I'm hungry like the wolf, but I'll end up tending cattle!

    Double bugger indeed mate, hope you came out of it unscathed??

    Course you could always toss that scrap heap of a gixxer and buy a BMW.

    Am operational, but feel like l got tossed out of a plane minus the parachute!, was hugely lucky the bike didn't land on me when it came back down!. Can't sell it as it is, have to fix it properly and stay with the 675 for Bears and SOT.

    Ok smart arse, you find the photo if you want one that badly,ask around....... maybe someone on the pit wall had a camera just waiting for a really big crash, maybe you could ask Ang Charlett for one? she was the first one there, jumped over the pit wall and ran across the infield- might have been carring a camera for just such an oportunity, maybe the ambo guy had one on hand so he get get a great shot of me still vomiting in my lid, cause he knew some moron would ask for pics.......


    Shit, l know!, we'll go back out and recreate it just for you, we will need to borrow a couple of bikes though, preferably both yours........

    OUch. Well, battered and bruised is better than a lot of other options. At least you still have your 675, its a sweet bike. Mine's still (scratch that) was road legal, but got backed into and knocked over last night. Busted every piece of plastic on it except for one side fairing, broken front subframe, dented and scratched the tank. The dude who did it though was cool about it, in that he gave me all his info, and contacted me today saying that his boss is filling out the paper work for the incident report (he was in a company vehicle). Not sure whats going to happen with the insurance, but it might get totaled due to the damage............which means it might just become my trackbike.

    Good luck with the gixxer, and just lemme know if you hit the lottery.

    whoah, easy! I dont think it was meant seriously. well, maybe.

    when I stacked my R1 at the end of levels straight, the FIRST thing I did was pull out my phone and take photos of how far me and the bike tumbled and the damage!

    at least you are still breathing eh? and can ride another day.

    Bwahahahahaha, don't be such a fucken crybaby. I crashed the FUCK outta that thing well before anyone else, didn't see me blubbering like a 6 year old school girl with a skinned knee when anyone took the piss. It's a friggen forum princess, pull your big girl knickers on and toughen up a bit.

    Sometimes even though you know it's a troll, you give it a bite regardless.....

    True, a bit flat at the mo, but will be racing this weekend on the 675, hoping for rain, could have played out much worse, breathing is good!

    Expression of annoyance at stupidity equals crybaby..........oh well, if that's how it works in your head......

    You don't even have the right bike either, although you could buy the one you refer to if you want, still have it.Goes rather well, may have to ride it myself.

    Just because they didn't see you doesn't mean it didn't happen either.

    Define your version of tough.

    No worries,

    Gimmie a shout if you do turn your 675 into a track bike, there a a few things worth knowing about 675's as a race bike, could save you some grief.

    Respect Andy, that was a huge crash and if anyone didnt deserve that, it was you. Really glad you are ok after such a major one.
