    Eeek, we didn't know about your bin ... which sounds like a bad one if you did your Tib & Fib.

    Next time you better make sure someone starts a "biker down" thread with no information and heaps of speculation. It's what we do for fun around here.

    Nah but seriously, what happened? I don't know about others but for me, hearing how stuff happens goes into my little grey cells and I use that info to anticipate what bad people and their iron steeds are going to try next.

    Not the ideal way to start the year, hope you heal quickly.

    There is only one way to go from that...and that is up!
    Aren't you lucky getting all the shit out of the way early in the year....
    Hope you heal well.

    Silly Billy!

    Take it very easy and don't forget to complain about the pain a lot so they give you the good stuff.

    Sorry to hear about your bin. Now you will have a lot of time to do all those things you always didn't get around to doing without a tib and fib break (if any).

    Seriously, I hope the healing goes well and you get back in the saddle again soon.

    Are you taking any prescription medication? [Rain Man]

    It's safe to say 08 isn't going to well for me either..

    Binned it for the first time, at Ruapuna and followed up by doing the same again later in the day.

    My GSXR750 has a bent rod needing rebuild

    My RG150 just spat a powervalve last week, for the third time all up

    My car failed it's WOF on blimmin headlight reflectors!? And yesterday I flushed it's coolant to do a change and found oily gravy, looks like a new headgasket for me..


    Money money money, vehicles eh I dunno!

    lol

    I can empathise, my '08 hasn't started all that well either!

    Had my first bin (low speed) on my ZXR and bruised my knee, then a week later got my Repsol impounded under the boy racer act for 28 days and will likely lose my licence for 6 -12 months when I go to court in a couple of weeks. Prolly get a hefty fine too for my trouble!

    Could be worse though...chin up dude.

    Om nom nom.
