StoneChucker Goes DOWN

[Mr Skid]

bugger. you have my sympathies.

I'm not going to preach about safety gear. Unfortunately you've had to learn the hard way about the protective value of jeans..

Please do get yourself checked out though. If you've done something major it's better to get it looked at now, and get it of your mind, than to leave an injury untreated for a week.

Any scratches on your lid? If so keep an eye out for concussion symptoms..

Hope you're back out terrorising the locals soon!

[Marknz]

Pleased you came through it relatively unscathed SC, the bike can be fixed.

And get yourself some decent gear!

[Ms Piggy]

Oh nooooooooooo! I was so gutted for you when I got your text about binning! :disapint: I'm glad there is no permanent damage to you or the bike. OUCH!!!!

for you.

So do ya think the bike won't be fixed by Tokaanu? I hope so.

Rest & take care of yourself.

[cycosis]

bummer dude

[jazbug5]

Pah.

You could have just said you didn't want to come to our little dinner party, Stony. I mean, everyone made a full recovery last time...eventually.
The lengths some people will go to..... sheesh.
See ya tomorrow, and take it easy.
It will work out. Trust me, I'm a professional. I have a certificate from Nigeria that says so.

[StoneChucker]

Wasn't any diesel or anything on the road?

Haven't a clue, the worst thing! I don't know why I crashed. Must have been something though, I wasn't going all that fast.

but why did you spend so much money on a motorcycle and so little money on protective gear?

Yeah, silly as I know. I was in the process of buying decent pants, especially after JazBug last weekend

Why won't you be coming up north though?

Well, when I enquired about ordering a new front fairing a while back, they said 10 days delivery time, so for the fairings at least, not even mentioning the engine, 10 days from the 4th, that only leaves 2 days to work on in the shop. AND, after I was a bit of a wanker to them a while back, I doubt they will be in much of a rush to fix it for me. But I'm sure they'll work as fast as they normally do, so I'm holding thumbs.

Well, I'm going to bed shortly, I spent 30 mins at Wgtn police station reporting the accident, 2 hours at Hutt hospital, and 20 mins at hutt police station, handing in a wallet I found lying on the road. I've had enough excitement for one day.

By the way, NONE of you can go riding, till I get my bike back.

Hi there Stonechucker.

We'd seen you, VTWIN and Jaz around 3pm yesterday on the m/way near Upper Hutt yesterday as you were heading towards the Rimutakas. (we were heading home as the weather was getting a bit yickky)

I'm so sorry to hear about your bin. I too wonder if there was gravel or similar on the road?

Take good care of yourself. LIke the others say, today you'll feel much worse. I'm REALLY glad you got yourself checked out and reported it to the Police. Listen to your Mum about your health! (I didn't realise the whole family had come over from SA - you'll have to tell us about it some time at the Fish)

It took me a while to figure out what the wallet was!

Good luck with the parts and getting the bike back on the road.

Keep us posted.

[Firefight]

Bugger.



Anyway - scratched fairings are cool. Every Yamaha should have them. Trust me on this one.

Wise words,I am happpy with my scratched fairings, glad your okay mate, hope it all goes well with repairs, and your back into it soon.

F/F

[Juan]

Put some race fairings on it and get to the track!!!

Heal soon fella....

[Uncle B]

For all it's worth...everybody at some stage bins their bike, least you didn't crash like this guy (see pic)
Now do you see the importance of proper riding gear, American Express advert somes it up...DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT.
Just hope the oil leak is something simple like a hole in the filter & not the crank case.
Hope your not too sore in the morning (i suspect you will be by the way you were limping last night)
If you speak to the shop & explain that you've got a ride comming up they might have it ready in time.....if not there maybe some generous person out there who would lend you a bike for the weekend??????

[Hooks]

Ginormous buggery bollocks !!! ... not nice at all ...

Listen mate ...if it looks like you're not gonna get ready in time for the ride to Quasies shindig, PM me and I'll give ya a lift on the old one !! I'm quite happy to head down ... any excuse to make a ride longer will do me !!... :cool2: if you can get to WT's work (WMC) At the time they are going .... 1pm I think .... then we can strap you & your gear on the bitch and we're off !! I have a tank bag but no pack rack so you might have to use a back-pack ....unless someone has a frame we could borrow ... the mounting for the rack is there I just misplaced the rack a few years back ....

[jrandom]

AND, after I was a bit of a wanker to them a while back, I doubt they will be in much of a rush to fix it for me.

Ah. Were you the one a while back bagging them for not cleaning your R1 properly, or something? I forget.

The bad karma retribution gods have obviously been out in force.

Yours is for being mean to the bike shop.

Zed's is for, um... well, he *has* pointed out repeatedly that he's a sinner

And firestormer and I obviously got our $300 tickets as payback for lifetimes of general naughtiness.

[erik]

Aww man, I hope it doesn't take too long to get that fixed up. It must be annoying not knowing what went wrong.
Get well soon.

[jrandom]

Oh yeah, and re. the gear, I don't think anyone should have a go at poor old StoneChucker and his grated limbs. I reckon any time anyone bins without gear, the resulting effects are voluble enough to make the required point.

We'll look forward to seeing the photos of you picking up the R1 from the shop in your full one-piece speed-humped Dainese race suit, SC...

[toads]

I am so sorry to hear about this stonechucker, makes me feel a bit queasy with you not having protective pants on though, I guess a bit of hip and knee padding makes all the difference in that sort of accident, you have almost 2 weeks left to get your lovely bike sorted out, what a shame. I hope it's something as simple as just needing to get new bolts and gaskets for engine housing cover, it appears in the photo to be intact, no visible cracks anyhow
