i will not be put of bike though. i cant believe i survived, thanks to the bikers that stopped to chek up on me

I bet it was a huge rush. after a crash i'm always fully pumped ready to jump back on the bike race off again.

Wait to you have your first highside, they can hurt, or hitting a car.. that can suck to.

Sorry to hear about your bin. It always sux when someone goes down.

Glad you're alive though, it sux a LOT more when they don't get up again.

Take care out there everyone - shit can and does happen!

A lot of us have "been there and done that". You are in one piece, and that is what counts.
Experience gained is what we call it.

Too bloody right, I'm afraid I have very little sympathy for anyone who posts a "woe is me" thread like this. Yes, it's highly likely we all exceed the speed limit at times, but to brag about doing 160kph-plus while overtaking a car is bloody stupid. Just be thankful it's your own sorry arse that's hurting and not some innocent bystander.

Get over it, learn some respect for the road and other road users and then perhaps you will deserve some sympathy if you crash again. Tosser.

**Badcat** · 13th November 2005, 22:22

what a miracle you aren't badly hurt or dead.
i know i've done some stupid shit, and just scraped by.

it's good to be alive, isn't it?

PLEASE mate, learn to slow down and live to grow older.
i did, now i'm having the time of my life.
i'm really glad you're OK DL.

crashing tastes like ass, try to do it less...

and - fuck that's a shame about the bros.
there will be more bikes bud, only one you.

Hey matey,

Sorry to hear about your bin. Thank the biker Gods that they left you able to ride another day.

I'm sure you wont do anything naughty like that again

Don't listen to all the PC crap all the "old people" are spouting off..... they can't remember how "sweet" being sixteen was.

Take it easy, have fun and go as hard as you can safely go

Have you considered for a moment that you could be only a search warrant or two away from a self incriminated trip to see the judge? This is a public forum after all, you never know, there could be cops reading this stuff aye!

Still would have to "prove" that he wrote it.. That in itself will be difficult - "Have no idea what you are talking about officer"

Are you just a masochist? Or something more...

Sorta like that (British?) movie where they'd go have a car crash 'cos it got them all horny and then they'd have sex at the crash site?
