    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
    Cheers dude.

    Yes, I've had those images in my head also...

    There were 2 ways that accident could of gone, and I'm very fortunate to have it go the way it did. Getting back onto a bike wont be a problem as I know where I went wrong, but deciding wether or not [B]I should/B] knowing how lucky I am to have survived, is a bit of a mind fuck.

    Cheers for all the help and support bro, and ride safe!!!

    Mission bay twisties sound great!!

    Infact, once I get the CBR maybe i should put an extended swing arm on it, drop the springs and a loud exhaust with some sparkly paintjob and just cruise Queen street

    Corse you should. People that shouldn't are people who laugh it off as normal and don't reflect. So don't stress it, and when you are feeling fine then back to it.

    We're a curious bunch though, so IF and when you are up to it, do share the story with us. We might learn something from ya as well.

    What happens to the Hyo now ?

    Yea that's what I keep telling myself. Just need to take it slow for a while.

    As for the Hyo, I was originally trading it for the CBR when it arrives so fortunately it's insured!

    It's in Hikuai at the moment, waiting for the assessor. But no questions that she's a writeoff:

    Yea. I would say " If you think that's bad, you should see the other guy!" but he seemed to come off alright:

    wow you are so lucky mate, most people would have gone under not bounced off that truck! Pretty much a miracle your alive-and thanks, you just helped me decide whether I really need a back protector....and how good it should be! (won't be skimping on the quality)
