    My first bin...

    Yep, after 4 years on 250's I managed to completely destroy my Hyo.

    First time on the Coro for me, went with the SMC boys and it started raining not far past Tapu?

    Anyway, first tome looper + rain + TF... you get the idea. I don't really wanna get into too many details yet and have certain people abuse me about how its my fault and I got my license at mc donalds etc...

    i fucked up, i've learnt a lot from it and have a few weeks in plaster to reflect.

    Huge thanks to they lads who kept me safe waiting for the ambo!!! And then braved the rain in the dark too see me in the hospitail at thames! much apprecited guys, I owe you all a few brewskies!

    Any, the damage:
    Broken right wrist (minor fracture) -hence my poor typing- and a bloody sore leg! If i had 9 lives then i used 8 of them to walk away as unscathed as i did.

    My gear, huge rep to Quasi!! Infact, apart from a few scuffs ya wouldn't know they'd been in a bin! Oh and one of the slders ripped off... Knox back protector! Do i owe my life to it?? i'd rather not know, but so glad i was wearing it.

    Where to from here? Well I have an 08 CBR600 to collect next month whic i'm a tad nervous about. I think I'm going to avoid the twisties and stay to the open roads for a ggod while... I was given a 2nd chance and it's rea;;y spooked me.

    As for the coro loop, doubt I'll be back. 2 attempts so far, first one road was closed by a major cage accident, 2nd time this... I'm not supersticious, but once again, has freaked me out a bit.

    Anyway guys, al i have to say is ATTGAT. If this happened a few months ago i would of been in kevlar sliders and no back protector.... very scary thought!

    Sorry it's so brief, my main typing hand is fucked, and am pretty bloody sore!

    Stay safe guys!

    Shit happens. Main thing is you're alright, a bit sore and thinking about what happened.

    Heal well

    Good to see you got home alright!
    Just take it easy with your new bike, it takes a while to get back into it and as long as you don't push it you'll be fine.

    See you soon mate!

    Sorry to hear about your accident but really glad that you are not banged up too bad! Great post, especially considering your typing had is stuffed. Its good to read that someone has actually learned a lot from their bin, and that they are _not_ casting blame somewhere else.

    Hope you heal fast, and never have another bin - ever!

    These are the people you want to ride with to keep your headspace tuned in right.

    It's people saying shit like that, that desensitizes riders to a serious issue, to the point where crashing is a joke. I've met riders who are proud to have binned and written off their bikes . No not everyone bins, when you do, you should stop, learn and make sure that it never happens again.

    Was more referring to the fact that it really pisses me off when people jump on a bin thread and start yelling "It's your fault" after the rider said "It was my fault" And i cbf arguing one handed

    And not all KB'rs ride like maniacs, just the ones who do are more memorable.

    Cheers mate, you and me both!! After I crawled off the road I remember thinking "Thank god I can still move" then realized my arm was a tad sore... Really appreciate all the support dude!

    Thumbs up

    Matt, i say you had a guardian angel buddy who looked after you. I'm usually not supersticious like you also said, but there was something that kept you alive yesterday. Either that or you are shit hot lucky. Buy a lotto ticket.

    it was my first big crash beyond my own and as Drider said, we were shit scared too. I'm really glad I didn't see a scenario from ride2die.com, coz thats what i was mostly afraid of.

    Heal up quick , and if there is anything you need, dont hasitate to send me a txt. you got my number.

    You unlucky but SO LUCKY bastard
    Don't Ride Faster Than Your Guardian Angel Can Fly !!!
