More to the point hows the rider after that incident?

**slydesigns** · 27th August 2007, 21:46

Not too bad. Slid side on into the car as I wanted to save the forks and frame steering head so I was able to half jump/half get flipped off over the car. I cleared the hood by 6ft plus according the the witness statements from the oncoming traffic! I landed on my ass then flipped up onto my feet. I was wearing full CE armour from the shins up under Shift MX Baggies, Shift armoured gloves, Shift CE Armoured Jacket, Helmet and race boots. I had one small bruise on my right shin from the car hood I think, one in the inside of my left knee from the tank and a sore butt from the landing. I also ripped a few muscles in the groin and left hip and also under my left side ribs. Otherwise unmarked and all the gear appears untouched!

What was really gutting was the fact we had spent all friday night and saturday morning finishing up a few mods, sorting out new piston and rings, fitting up a modded airbox and new chain and sprocket sets for heading out on a ride with the other half and her ZXR 400 next weekend.
The bike was humming! And I have just had the plastics tidied up in prep for some custom paint as well as a modded set of pipes and KX carbs for it!

Glad to hear you are remarkably okay after such an event!

Crikey! Big ups to your reflexes and poos and wees and jobbies about the work you did on your bike

Still, in the big scheme of things - you're okay, less the

pulled groin muscles. Insurance and the rest of the rigamarole to follow...

**EJK** · 27th August 2007, 22:10

That is just S*@!......
What a sadness! Man! You are making me cry now lol

**slydesigns** · 28th August 2007, 07:25

naa, there are 2 more bikes in the garage and a car on NOS, so I'll be content while AFC and State sort out the 2 Stroke. Having dreams of TYGA bodywork now...

Bugger!

Rest up, I hope you get the KR1 back on the road, they are running out.

**slydesigns** · 28th August 2007, 09:54

AFC did a quick search and Kawasaki Japan list pretty much ALL parts as still available, so now it just depends on the insurance company

Armour plus outstanding reactions= (largely)intact rider. Very impressive survival instincts. Well done. Great you're not another statistic.

**sAsLEX** · 28th August 2007, 10:35

TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE , and fall off caps the insurance will prob write off the bike and pay out so be prepared for that!

**slydesigns** · 28th August 2007, 11:25

Not necessarily a bad thing, a little gutting but thems the breaks.

**delusionz** · 28th August 2007, 17:40

**slydesigns** · 28th August 2007, 23:19
