Holidays Plan B

[Highlander]

Rather you than me mate.
Sounds like the injuries are not too serious (and that is a good thing) the rest is only money and what we pay insurance bills for.

Get well and back on a bike soon.

[SPman]

Sheeyit Brett, what you doin damaging a perfectly good ST!!!
Glad to hear you are substantially OK, but a scary thing, none the less.
So, its a quiet, rest up holiday for you , then?

[erik]

Sorry to hear that Hitcher. Get well soon.

[Omega1]

Bikes can be replaced or repaired, glad your still with us.

[Riff Raff]

Sorry to hear about your mishap Hitcher. All the best for a speedy recovery.

[T.W.R]

bloody unlucky Hitcher! but at least your still breathing, your body will mend,
and your helmet & jacket did their jobs! & the bike can be replaced.
have a speedy recovery

[duckman]

Crikey - Er, get well soon Hitch. If you need anything just yell out.

[TonyB]

Arg! Glad to hear that you are relatively OK- sounds like it could have had a far worse outcome. Get well soon!

[WRT]

I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting you personally, but from all accounts on here I have an impression of you as being sensible and level headed man (apart from you ass-obsession!). I find it a struggle to think of you being involved in a single vehicle incident, but I know from experience what its like to have these things change from a case of inattention or bad judgement into something a lot more serious. It can happen in the blink of an eye to any of us, and it will happen when you least expect it.

As you said, the bike can (and hopefully will?) be replaced, and the injuries are not as bad as they could have been, thanks to good luck and good gear. You have been fortunate to see the kind and caring side of some people through this, and with the love and attention of your good woman you should heal fast and true.

I wish you a speedy recovery, and that your alternative plans do not negatively impact on your enjoyment of the season any more than necessary. And I'm sure that I'm speaking on behalf of all the KBer's when I say that if you need anything, just holler out.

[Motu]

So what's Plan B? You start a thread about Plan B,and then we have paragraph after paragraph all about how Plan A got stuffed up....but you never give us a hint as to what the real subject - Plan ''B'' is all about.And where in all this detail was Mrs H?? huh,come on!!!!

I'm shocked to say the least....rest up eh?

[metric]

...As for the numerous bikers who continued to lane split through an accident site and none of whom stopped to help, thanks a bunch.

you poor bastard... that sucks mate.

and what a bunch of assholes who didn't stop - shame on them...

good to hear you're not another fatal statistic

[madboy]

And where in all this detail was Mrs H??

Splitting past the queue wondering why there were all these people stopped on the side of the road?

[wari]

[NhuanH]

Brett,

That is indeed poor news to hear of. Sorry to hear of your injuries as they are, but still glad they are not any more serious. Glad your arse is OK, you are defender of the arse, after all. Wish you all the best for a quick recovery.

And what an epic of a report to tick tack in with only one hand (and the wrong one at that).

- just a (serious) question: was your ST an ABS model?

Take care,
Nhuan

[Hitcher]

The ST was the non-ABS model. Who knows if ABS would have helped? Not saying that gizmos are bad, but I reckon it's best to always ride within one's limits, rather than relying on technology to save one's arse. He said, famously.

Just back from the docs. I now have a racey new sling -- for best!

With a 10-12 week standdown, it's possible that the ST may be ready before I am. In which case I may need some volunteers to exercise it...
