Glad you okay

Sorry to hear about the off Sensei,glad you're not badly hurt,although looking at a scratched and dirty priller can't have been painless even with the adrenalin racing round your system.
Good luck on the healing/repair front.

Yeah I had to feel for him (I mean his machine) standing there looking @ the prevoiusly spotless machine all dirty & looking a wee bit worse for wear.Bloody lucky really, the bike & Sensei came off not too bad all things considered, is the forearm a wee bit sore today Sensei

Hey man. I'm glad to see that all the important things are good. I look forward to hearing more about your off once you've had a chance to unpack it a bit. I'm still suprisingly tentative over a year out from mine. Is your insurer coming to the party?

Stripped everything off that needed replacing so Happy to be here & that the bike didn't tumble roll . Was abit of Fun really apart from looking at my Baby all covered in mud & scratches .

I know the feeling of havin an off after along period of staying on the bike. Sounds like you and the RSVR came off lughtly which is allways a great thing. I'd have to come down to Burwood Spinal Unit and biarch slap ya if you ended up doing what I did when I came off my MX bike bro. Hoping that the cost of repairs is not too high and if there is anything I can do to help just give me a holler. I guess those leathers will have to go on hold until you get the Aprillia sorted back to its former glory. Bloody good bike it is, I'm not sure wheich I enjoy the most. Looking at it or listening to it, I suspect its the latter as it sounds farking awesome.

**SpeedyGirl** · 13th August 2007, 16:24

You best look after yourself up there babe or I will come and give you a good slapping!!!!

**Sensei** · 13th August 2007, 16:58

Well things don't sound to good for the bike went & seen Dave at " Kiwibiker Insurance " & he has 2 other Aprilias there 1 is written off already & the other has done 30k of damage so mine is looking very much like been Written off at this stage Bugger !! Oh well will wait to hear back about the parts I have asked to get some $$$ figures for & go from there when the Accesser come out to have alook . The old grapevine works fast here as Insurer knew about my off before I got there today at 10am thanks to someone phoning him . Better start looking for a new Aprilia me thinks

**EZAS** · 13th August 2007, 17:52

In cases like this ... are you hoping its written or would you want it repaired?

**SPman** · 13th August 2007, 18:05

20 yrs, eh. Its a bugger, innit!
I had 38 yrs without seriously hurting a bike then ZAP - 2 write offs in a year!!!!
I didn't think they were going to write off the second one and was sorely pissed when they did! - doesn't take much these days......
Still - as long as you're in one piece, it has to be all good.

Who would do a fuckwit thing like that, I'll buy the wreck off you for a $1 when they write it off (or your excess)
