Upgrade time?

Havent taken the splint off my thumb yet, still hurts when I try to do anything with it, so I'll leave it on for a bit longer. Wrist isnt too bad, but with my job being typing, its bound to be sore by the time I get to go home. Will wear the wrist brace for a while to come yet I think.

Have you lost confidence?

In riding? Well bike isnt road worthy yet so Im not entirely sure. Rode Piratejafas bike with him on the back from Omana to Kawakawa Bay on Sunday without any problems. It was more the unfamiliar bike and two up that I was cautious about.

Take it easy on the wrist. Good idea to keep it on. Fucked wrists last forever, broken thumbs will heal. I damaged my left wrist in both judo and boxing and its never been the same since. I still get aches. Shoulder injuries suck too. I hyper extended my shoulder four years back. Its still fucked haha.

Dont skimp on healing time. The bike will still be there. Im sure jafa wouldnt mind pillioning you around. Anything for a damsel in distress.

To be honest I didnt really care too much about this accident. After my inital sit-up in the ditch and body check to make sure I was ok, it kinda just blew past me. I rode home about 25km on the crashed bike with one arm and no front brake, no problems at all. After the time that monkeymsea ran into the back of my bike I was more worried the next time I rode. Jumping on PirateJafa's bike on sunday was easy as well.

And yeah, Im counting on that lol, I need to be out on bikes otherwise I'll go nuts. Pillion will have to do until bike is rideable, and until Im healed enough that I wont do more damage.

It is easy to be a pillion. But next time you ride your own bike it will feel different. when i binned on the rotomas(only going about 50ks) i got up, no injurys...the only thing i was worried about was the bike! LOL of corse. it was fine.but for a couple of months afterwards it was scary going around 35k corners

I did ride my bike... I wasnt talking about being pillion. I rode jafa's too.

at 25 k yes.but you havent been for a real ride on it yet have you?
good for you! but if you high side a gn on the "raceline" wtf are you going to do with a bigger bike?

For 25km. Not at 25km/h. So it depends on what you count as a real ride. I rode at least 30km on the VFR as well. I know its not my normal distances but its still a ride, not just down the road and back.

And I did it well, who cares about lowsiding a gn, at least I did something that is a bit impressive. On a bigger bike I would have just powered out of it. I think you underestimate my riding skills.

I think you underestimate me. how many months experiance do you have riding and being a pillion?

If the centre line was wet enough for you to lose traction on a gn and lowside, then putting on the power with a big bike would have most likely sent you into highside unless you had the wits about you to keep on the gas and not chop it.

this could have been very different if you were riding a bigger bike. I think the lesson from this...and I'm pretty sure you would have already cottoned on to this as you sound like a smart enough lady is not to fang it too hard on the road. It aint a track so dont take racing lines otherwise you could end up clipping the centre line and crashing...

I reckon though when you do get a bigger bike you will ride more carefully as you know that it can go pear shaped ever quicker than on your gn. Heal up and keep on keeping on nathania
