    We've seen too many bins, too many injuries and though I don't want to say it, too many dead riders of late.

    To the general public, they're statistics, but to the biker community they're friends, mates, comrades on two wheels and damned if we want to see anyone hurt, maimed or removed from the mortal coil.

    Ride slow, ride conservative, ride less CCs than seems 'cool' - let the peers mock you and pour scorn - who fucking cares? Obviously not anyone that would seek to prevent you becoming a red stain on the road.

    On the positive, full marks for you being ATGATT compliant, you're a walking talking testimony that good gear WORKS!

    Beer time I think...

    Thanks to:
    Jeaves, Donor (the medic), Gijoe1313, Chickadee, U1AGO, McJim (for renting a trailer and driving out all the way to help me in my time of need). And a whole lot of others who's KB logins / names I don't know. Thank you all guys

    As someone once said, any bin you walk away from is a good one [/QUOTE]

    Your welcome, just glad you could walk away from the crash. It's one of those moments when you come across a fallen comrade and just hope they're okay. Glad to say I've not been witness to a bike fatality first hand and hope never to be. Our mate that hit a cow a while back was a lucky b*stard and I think you're in that category also. You'd be in A&E or worse if you'd followed the bike to the rocks.

    Keep it safe and hope you heal up soon!
    Cheers

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Of 'Gorse' it is, due to 'plummeting' demand for this model, we have 'dropped' it so low that buying it will be as easy as driving off a cliff!

    Now now, I sea you're getting a bit beachy about it, so we'll turn the tide of the thread back to topic and try not to runoff again...

    Just glad Breakaway came out ok and we managed to drag the CBR out of there [smilie=1,21,15]
    There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

    I agree! All I hope is that he realises just how lucky he has been. If it is true he has a learners on a 400 then he is luckier than lucky!

    Points of lucky-

    He lost control and threw the bike off the road, but he is in tact, a bit sore no doubt, but ok.

    He had mates with him (probably shocked to see what happened) to make sure he was ok.

    Those mates helped him retrieve his bike from the beach.

    He had mates with cell phones that could call for help.

    The people he called came to his assistance.

    He was not permanently damaged.

    He did not damamge other peoples property, being uninsured sucks when that happens...

    So all in all one lucky young man
