Loosebruce down but not out, yet!!!

[White trash]

yea cheers jimmy, will do on the parts side of things.

Shit man you know i still eat you for breakfast, part from the fact that'd you'd eat me for lunch, dinner and then dessert with room for leftovers is beside the point

That's coz nine times outta' ten, I'm one twisted, hungover, bitch in the mornings! I'm working on being a better person, really I am!

[loosebruce]

Bad luck mate

Good to hear you are ok

That road is so fantastic - can you describe the corner more precisely? There are some nasties - I have known of a few to go off on that right that keeps on tightenting after you have left Waihi
Anyway, good luck with the parts search

Just as you get into the real tight shit after leaving waihi, the second climb, some of the corners are nasty round there, you just gotta tell yourself to leave opening the throttle that little bit later as it comes back round on ya.

You'll know exactly where once i get the footage up.

hey Bruce, just read about this, shit mate bad news, if you need a hand to put it all back 2gether let me know, you have been in my workshop b4 so you know what I have got, let me know.

F/F

Bad luck Bruce. Any crash you walk away from (let alone ride) is one to be thankful for.

Look forward to seeing the video (in a morbid kind of way)

All the best for getting it back together.

[FROSTY:Me]

shit bruce that sucks dude
I must now explain to you gravitronic effect.
A new set of leathers has a pretty good gravitronic effect-sucking the unsuspecting wearer into falling off--ask KK and PT
A new paint job on the bike has a Big gravitronic effect-easily sorted by putting your freshly painted tank on the ground and haviing your son kick it a couple of times
But the worst ever gravitronic effect is carrying a camera on your bike.
Ask any racer -You know the guy with the camera bike WILL crash

Hey bro, glad you're ok. One thing that strikes me, is how positive and practical you are about everything. Just pick it up and get on with it.

[Mr Skid]

I have the bike up n running ready for another bin by the weekend, it'll look rangi as, guess it'll match me.
I'll get the footage to KK asap and let ya's know when it's on

Sorry to hear Bruce, nothing wrong with rangi bikes though, it'll let people know that you ride on the ragged edge, and you won't shed too many tears if/when you drop it next

Also, it would appear, according to XJ/FROSTY's gravitronic effect, that the more rangi your bike looks, the less likely you are to bin it..

yea that R6 in your garage/workshop is looking pretty good. i'll be round tomorrow to pick it up

Celticno6 - cheers man, was happy to walk away indeed, i reckon the damage could've been alot worse too.

XJ - you're not wrong mate, i had a camera and near new leathers that i hadn't been down the road in, looks like i was screwed from the moment i left home.

...Ask any racer -You know the guy with the camera bike WILL crash

I remember Kiwistorm with his onboard camera all day out at Puke a few months back. He never binned it, but at one point he strapped his camera to his helmet for a session and afterwards complained of a sore neck...blasting at nearly 300kmph down the back straight on his gixxer1000 caused his head to get thrown around a bit with the extra apparatus sticking up!

Yea for sure andrew just like in the video i pick it up and carry on with it, minus a few bike parts though , the way i tend to ride i kinda expect to have an off as much as it sucks when you do, but what can you do? If you don't wana have an off don't ride quickly. Or don't ride at all, and that is not an option.

Do ya know what camera he had? The one i have is just over 15mm in diameter and about 50mm long, i don't know if it would make to much difference to windflow etc.
Plus nearly all the motogp bikes etc have onboard camera's fitted now, but they are way up there and i'm way down here

[k14]

Oh man, that sucks. Lucky you are alright. Not really much you can do about it now, just get back on and learn from it I guess. Hope you get your bike fixed up sweet.

Maaaaaaate

Bugger that for a game of frolicking with Nuns at the hot pools!
