Crashed!!!

**Metalor** · 25th July 2007, 17:59

Yea.... last Thursday I decided it was a great idea to ride into the back of a Mercedes when the traffic had stopped on the motorway. I was pretty lucky to not be killed or seriously injured as I was doing around 100k's then went for a bit of a fly. Poor lady driving the merc got a bit of a fright.

So yea... me bike isn't in the best condition and I'll be needing alot of parts if it can be fixed. Would anybody have any links to a manual for a 2000 Volty? It's a Suzuki TU250X. Or where would be the best place to buy one from?

Cheers.

haynes manuals are available over the www i would have thought???

**canarlee** · 25th July 2007, 18:01

oh and glad that you aint too badly hurt mate!

**kiwifruit** · 25th July 2007, 18:02

holy shit
100k into a parked car?
that would have been some flight! have you been in hospital up til today? are you ok??

**Metalor** · 25th July 2007, 18:06

Cheers, I'll have a look.

I was let out of hospital the same day, was pretty hard getting out to the car though! Luckily I didn't break any bones... just some deep bruising which I have a bunch of painkillers for. Dunno how I managed to not break any bones actually..

Crikey mate! Glad to hear you are okay apart from bruising? I think your asphalt angel was doing some good work there!

So, I guess you will be dealing with a number of issues (cops/insurance/parts/etc.) - hope it all works out well, you heal up quickly and get your ride back to servicable order!

**babyblade250rr** · 25th July 2007, 18:14

yeah sounds like a major crash and you came off what i would call scott free, which is great news

good luck with getting the bike back up and running

**Usarka** · 25th July 2007, 18:34

100kph! another kilometer per hour faster and you would have been toast - speed kills dont ya know just ask the coppas.

jeez mate glad your ok but watch your differential speeds on the motorway eh.

**Brett** · 25th July 2007, 18:37

Shit mate, good to hear that you walked away from that one...most other times one would not be so lucky!

**qldzxr250a** · 25th July 2007, 18:44

DAMN man glad your ok.

Dont bother doing anything luck related in the next while cause your lucky tank gotta be on E.......

Hope its a speedy return to the bike.

whoa! 100km/h on a Volty?!

Glad you're ok after your visit from the Jandal.
I'm still recovering from thinking about a Volty cracking terminal velocity.

**Metalor** · 25th July 2007, 23:23

Cheers guys. To make it worse though was that I don't have insurance, but it's not too bad cos the lady said the camage to her 4x4 wasn't too bad. Can't say the same about the volty though

but as babyblade250rr said, I got off pretty scott free considering. I did about 4 or 5 flips according to the people who stopped to help

NhuanH - I managed to get that thing up to 140kmph on the north western! Was pushing it though...

**Metalor** · 25th July 2007, 23:24

I forgot to buy a lotto ticket aswell!! All my luck was probably used up though, haha.

Mate, the Volty can do 105 ... easy.

**Sleepr** · 26th July 2007, 20:32

I rode a mates volty today, it was damn good fun. She has so more torque down low than the hornet and I didnt even need to rev its tits off to get it moving. Might get me a volty to thrash around

(money doenst look too good right now

)

Anyway back on topic: You are damn lucky, just take it easy, relax, have a good diet and recover soon
