Well that sucks Fi!! Glad you're ok enough to tell the story though chick. Big for ya!

[Colapop]

Awww Fi!! That's no good... at least you're a 'real' biker now! (Although you were a long time ago)


Heal up and get your full! Pete has got a loaner for you... he'll sell you a nice new big bike too!

[merv]

Hey sorry to hear it and as the others have said heal soon.

[beyond]

Bummer

Glad to hear you are ok and had the foresight to buy and wear prpoer kit.
Never ride without it. Still hurts though doesn't it

[Macktheknife]

Bugger about the off AH, and about the broken wrist too.
Glad to hear you are doing well in spite of the injuries, the gear did it's job pretty good by the sound of it.

Take good care of yourself.

Ouchy, sorry to hear about the accident. Glad to hear that your gear held up well and the cage following kept good distance. Heal up well and drink plenty of milk!

[90s]

Glad you were OK and the other cars keeping their distance!
Hope the damage report on the bike is OK.

Hi all -

Thanks for the good wishes! Starting to hurt a bit now - bet tomorrow will be fun. Still, relatively in one piece. Hope the same can be said for my bike.

Keep you posted on that, but for now - good night!

Heal up fast matey, rest up n look after yourself.
Glad it wasnt more serious.

Is it your left or right wrist?

[nudemetalz]

Sorry to hear that. Hope you get well soon, and the GN is rebuildable

[apteryx_haasti]

Hey everyone,

Well - my left leg swelled to balloon-like proportions yesterday and got x-rayed when I went back to see the orthopedic surgeon yesterday. Lucky for me, looks like only soft tissue damage. Phew!! It has decreased in size quit a bit overnight and is several different shades of blue. Smurf leg... guess that's what sliding along the road with a GN on top of you will do!

Wrist is in plaster, they still don't know if I've ruptured a ligament in it as well - have to start healing the break first. Gotta go back next week to get a tighter cast once the swelling goes down. Fun times!

As for the trusty steed, still haven't seen it - WMCC is waiting for pricing on some bits so I don't know the damage yet.

Should be back to work tomorrow - resting the leg up today to keep it looking more like a leg and less like a sausage.

Big thanks to everyone who has offered help if/when it's needed. KBers are an awesome bunch. Thanks too to the radiology dept and fracture clinic at Hutt hospital - they have been really great.

Feeling pretty lucky - could have come out much worse in rush hour traffic.

[janno]

Oh bugger - that's not a good way to get a day off work. Couldn't you said your grannie had died for the fourth time ?

I've read elsewhere on KB that the stock tyres on your bike are hopeless - which tyres were you on?

Heal quick, and give the arnica a go. It's great stuff for bruising - really seems to make a difference.

[NZsarge]

Ah shite.....that would tear ya gruts....nevermind,always remember...it could have been worse. Your bones will mend and you'll be back at it in no time.

[Drum]

Bugger. Hope you're not hurting too much.
