Glad I had my gear

[Xsannz]

my 2010 r1 got written off on the way home from auckland to chch ( feral cat mid corner @ 80-90kmh into front wheel at full lean = instant dismount and dead bike

will post photos eventually = lets say woodcraft are not that great in a high side the puck ripped off and the whole arm bent and twisted the frame mount.

Vortex rearset snapped off the frame on the right hand side - left hand side untouched in crash right side looked cosmetic till they went through it.

so 4 ribs and a broken ankle later... and insurance just shipped me an ex demo 2011 r1 registered in dec 2012 with 500km on the clock.

so its sitting in the garage waiting to be tinkered with.

have already on hand

Autotune with wide band.
Flashtune interface.

all the spare factory pegs and brackets and rearsets including pillion from the old bike as i had them off when it crashed... so i am going to butcher the spare pillion pegs and use the support sections and the right little piece for the brake res.

on the bike is a set of gytr cans

on order is

pcv

m4 y pipe or mjs cant decide but want to keep stock covers so it may be the mjs one.

Sequential smoked led tailight

Evotech Tail tidy

Watsen gloss black front indicators.

Gytr frame sliders

graves smog plates.



Leathers held up pretty danm well only light scuffing no tears ... i only ended up with a smal carpet burn scratch on my elbow area and forearm.

but then they got cut off.. as i couldnt move because of the busted ribs causing me an immense amount of pain so i told the ambo office to cut them rather that try move me around to unzip them and pull them off.

they did their job...

[Xsannz]

And yay new bike

...

[Dogboy900]

Wow stink luck dude!
The crashed bike doesn't actually look that bad... Ducatilover should be along soon to see if you want to pass it along to him so he can polish it up some

Broken ribs are a really annoying injury sleeping is pretty difficult when every move wakes you up.

New bike looks niiice, hope you heal fast so you can enjoy it.

[Tryhard]

Pussy can fuck up a lot of things. Seams you were pretty lucky in this one m8. New bike looks very nice.

[onearmedbandit]

I think you could've leant a bit further.

[Asher]

Was this on your ride down where you were a bit ahead of me?
Where did you crash?

[Xsannz]

I think you could've leant a bit further.

If yoy are referring to the chicken strips yeah maybey..

But that woulda made no difference as the cat ran paused ran paused the ran back.

I hit it mid and hard on brakes then went into a slapper and highside.


And it happened on thursday evening 8pm ish on a social ride between cleevdon and kawa kawa.

Couple of mates missed a cat earlier and a local informed us after the fact that there are large omounts of feral cats out there.

[BigAl]

Bugger mate, at least you weren't too badly hurt or screwed by insurance co.

Good result from Star insurance?

[Xsannz]

Yeah star insurance where ok this time round.

To note that even though bike was not old and i had specified all the accessories.

They sti went off second hand market value. I was lucky the bike shop who did the first quote came close to my insured value as tbey took into account the accessories.

But if they had got a second lesser value they settle at the lowet one.

Pot luck as to who gets the quote in fastest and highest i guess.

Have been looking for a new helmet. I take it you highly recommend the Shark RSX? They're $349 on Cycletreads at the moment. Seems a very good price.

[Xsannz]

Yep so much so ill be ordering another again.

At that price its great.

Considering i tried a hjc rpha10 and it was heavier and didnt have the same quality finish.

Rsx has been superseded by rsr3 but that 1k

So yeah if you can grab an rsx.

We've had a couple of such threads over the last year or so and each time the victim praises his gear for saving him from more serious injuries or even death. We don't see too many where the person wasn't wearing safety gear and came off.

I'm for ATGATT, and always have been in favour of applicable protection to the activity. We need threads and recommendations like this to emphasise the need for proper gear. Although naturally we would rather you didn't crash in the first place to prove it... As was said, broken ribs, in fact broken bones all, hurt! DAMHIK
