Scorpygirl crashes!!!

[Scorpygirl]

After reading a couple of posts about people binning their bikes this weekend, I thought I better write up my tale of woe. I crashed the Virago on Friday night coming home from work. I was riding along Sandringham Rd, in the bus lane, and a car did a right hand turn into a street right in front of me. I braked as hard as I could - left a skid mark apparently, but hit him in the passenger door. I can't say too much more at this stage. I am OK apart from a very sore upper arm, shoulder, mid-side area and a bruised finger and thigh. Thank goodness for really good gear!!!

The bike has bent forks and handlebars, a broken mirror and the other is twisted and a broken wind shield. That we can ascertain at this stage.

Oh well....watch this space.

Must be the time of year. Hope you got witnesses.

Oh wow! You too!
Seems the ladies are dropping like flies at the moment, be careful girls.
Hope you recover soon SG, make sure Rhino looks after you well.

Yip, got one witness who saw the whole thing, as he was waiting on the other side of the street to turn left. He said I didn't have a chance.

Damn, both of us are thankful you're ok. (me and principia, not me and my multiple personalities...)

fuck fuck fuck, people need to pay more attention when driving their cars though.

St Lukes rd today I was next to someone texting away, didn't even notice I was there.

Again, just happy you're in good enough condition to post here

Hey Scorpygirl......

Glad to hear you are finally going to go to the dr to get yourself checked out.

I sent Rhino heaps of pm's after our phone call last night after the accident happened.

Check out the riser's as well.
That can put the handlebars out of whack and then you think its the handlebars.

Plenty of ARNICA for the bruising....

Look forward to seeing the pics......


You know where to find me anytime.

Sorry about the bin Scorpy Girl. That's from one Scorp to another?? Just not too sure if your bin would have happened if you had not been riding in the bus lane. Maybe, maybe not but for some time I have been advocating the dangers of riding in bus lanes. Still does not excuse the car for turning without due care and attention. Hope all goes well for you etc.

hehe, i was kinda worried when i got back up... crashing was just like, "ah yeah, that sucked... meh"

although the slipper my ma threw at me when i got home hurt more than the crash :S

Well, everyone bins i guess... now that thats out of the way, i guess its time for a bigger bike! (pt)
