NOMIS DOWN.. hornet back to workshop

[Mully]

Fucking hell man.

Get one of them three wheel things maybe.....

You just want an excuse to stay away from work.....

Glad you are OK. I'd head to the doc in case it needs to be an ACC claim later.

[Griffin]

Crikey - I would be starting to think that a higher power is trying to tell me something. Maybe you should look into options other than two wheels as a form of transport.

[fizbin]

Fuck that sucks dude!
maybe the hornet was just not meant to be... try another bike?

[imw-hornet]

Hay Namis ,,, Bummer ,,,, , sorry to hear that , as others have said , get your self checked out first of all. good news that the Corolla accepted that he was in the wrong and did not either do a runner or say that it was you in the wrong.
I have been following your updates of your bike and was saying to my self ,,,, goto see this one , well i am sure that you will get it all fixed up ASAP and be back on the road.
Hope the back feels better , Cheers

[Mully]

Oh, and see if the shop can fit some of these things.

[Mom]

Buy a fucking car.

Constructive advice on a biker forum

Learn to ride then.

I am picking he is learning some good lessons thanks to Dorkland traffic actually.

Corolla accepted responsibility, police where there with in about 1min of the crash and said it was evasive action by the sounds of it

Really, so the car driver accepted responsibility for this accident, and the cops agree you were taking evasive action...hmmmmm

It is still your fault! OK! (p/t for the sensitive members)

Bummer for you mate. Hope you are not too sore. Go and get an ACC claim number for the hell of it! We pay for it...use it! Hope the bod recovers quickly, the bike will be fine.

[NOMIS]

cheers guys for all the comments,

The insurance company said all should be well if the police heard her say she accepted she wrong,

Ill see how I feel inthe morning, have to take my bike in somewhere to get prices.

Shingo, hahaha yeh you right

Mully, damn straight why do I want to come to work ;-) just kidding don't tell sunny

I dont think I could have done anything else to be honest, if you soee exactly where i crashed you would under stand i had no where i could go to avoid hitting,

Also have a witness who said was probally the only thing I could have done. She was stoped dead over 2 lanes so yehh

[NOMIS]

And no way im i getting rid of the hornet you guys must be crazy lol

[scracha]

Get your helmet replaced mate. Hell, they're paying for it. If they say it's just scratched tell them you hit your head and you're not wearing it again unless they get it x-rayd.

Go to hospital and get yourself checked out.

Good to hear your alright(ish) man. Definitely file ACC though, ya never know and it's better to have a claim and not need it, than need it and not have it!

I know what it's like with the helmet though! My bin a few weeks ago was on the very first ride with my new lid! Only scratched the visor and a tiny chip where the visor meets the helmet. My insurance doesn't cover gear (dammit), but will end up replacing it... not worth the risk really.

FRAME SLIDERS SAVED MY TANK!!!! so there you go choco wheels

Haha sweet man! How badly did they get scratched up? Going to invest in new ones?

Good to hear your ok and that the other guy's accepted responsibility. Heal up and get your bike fixed so we can go riding some time

Keep safe man

Dam - spent two minutes memorised by Shafties Avatar.


Sorry to hear about your drop mate. 2 hours must be some type of KB record I think

Next time just run the pedestrians down - do a Mad Max on the back wheel.


The main thing is - you are OK - nothing broken, amputated or worse.

[Nagash]

That's a bitch to hear mate, but glad you're mostly okay and that hopefully the police will be on your side. I wouldn't take the other party claiming themselves at fault as what's going to end up further down the track.

They always say it at first.. then when they think about it they're opininon magically changes.

And a little note for the future, it's a difficult maneuver to pull off, but with emergency braking under lean there's a couple of things you can do. Either counter steer in the opposite direction in an attempt to bring the bike back up right.

Or, if you have the reflex's of a ninja, you can get up and lean your body in the opposite direction. This will either bring the bike back up quickly, or atleast balance out the weight a bit better. But both of these things are very difficult to do under the split seconds you have in an emergency situation..

Heal up soon, and hopefully that's the last of your bad karma out the way.
