I had just gotten a new dririder racer-x jacket as an xmas present to myself, it took the majority of impact and is 100% in tact, I am quite amazed. I will vouch for those jackets!!

The rest didn't get much action, left hand ixon glove got some scrapes but still great.

For some strange reason I went out on my old HJC helmet and not my super expensive Arai one. When I flipped I hit my head first and all of the scrapping is on the top/back of the helmet. It now serves as a reminder ornament :P I had no concussion or head injuries so HJC are good too! ($200-ish helmet).

I've still got my painting hand so I'll be alright for a little while at least, how is your collarbone doing? Any idea how long it took you to start typing with two hands? hehe, my job is fairly typing intensive.

Also, the wonders of fascinations with video logging my rides is the bonus of almost always having a camera on me. What did I do when adrenalin was pumping throughout? Well, when I couldn't pick up the bike, I picked up my camera.

The result
(ignore the first talking part, that's for the watchers, the end is the 'scene' .. ohh you sound so dramatic zeo)

Ouch, my bones.

Sadly when the bike's other side was shown, it was pretty clear it was written off

I wanted to sit down and comfort it like it was alive

My pain = your entertainment !
:P

Wow, its like a reality TV confessional ... I was rofl until I saw the bike on its side and then it was like

So sad, so sad to see a bike like that.

Well, I did drop in to see bikeless noob zerozen again (note how I pisstake his moniker!

Dropped him off a care package of :

6 Dr.Peppers (its a thing we share, the taste of strangeness)
Anime compilation of Votoms Armoured Troopers
Anime compilation of Gundam (F-91/gundam III etc.)
Anime compilation of Visions of Escaflowne
Usual shite bollocking and talking what a munter he was ...

Heal up quick dude...

I had one leg straddled over gijoe's hornet today before a Ute pulled up and I heard my father yell "Don't even think about it."

I was coming home from a very nice ride to Kaiaua, I hit a sharpish left and the back slid out. Had I practiced my cornering more I'm confident I would be fine, but .. I didn't.

It's true the back slid out, and was no fault of mine, but everything else was my own fault. This was my first serious crash.

After the slide the tyre caught grip on an angle and bucked it up straight, I couldn't control the tank slapping and it veered onto the on coming lane, somewhere I didn't want to be. I purposely fixated on the ditch and shrubs and my bike followed. Next thing I know I have been high sided and doing some impressive flips and come to a stop about 5m away from my bike, which is pretty clear is a write off.

I got off lucky with a broken collar bone, munted shoulders, bruised ribs and various bruises/scrapes (thank god for ATTGAT).

If I had just taken my time, learnt the basics more often, I would have been fine, I am sure of it. I am glad to be alive, so I can do it again, the right way. It really wasn't looking good at moment of impact.

Please don't forget the basics guys, and please be careful. Most importantly have a good new year!

OOOuch, overpowering and slight loss of concentration does it every time. Nothing like following another vehicle into the corner and NOT too close so you can look forward to follow your eye out. From an older version of a newby. CB
