I had a crash..
 

last Thursday night, in pouring rain, i lost control of my bike while trying to brake..

looks like its going to be a write off..
my helmet is - a friend of my friend works for Arai, they done the test, sort of x-ray.. he said i was lucky to have that thing on my head and not any other helmet..

my right arm didnt work at all first 2 days, hit the shoulder badly. my head was dizzy and i wanted to throw up all night.. when was taken to hospital that night - they done x-rays, nothing broken. so thats a good thing..

the bad thing - no biking this year for me..:(

Nooooo!!!!

That sucks! You must be a bit tender and sore at the moment I imagine.

Wow, you poor thing. You'll get your insurance payout and get yourself a new bike soon enough. Good luck with everything and I hope you heal quickly!

:(

Cr*p. Glad to hear you're OK thouhg.

Look on the bright side - new bike shopping beckons!

Sorry to hear about this SW. Obviously you had concussion. Glad nothing was broken but I know it's painful even without breaking any bones.

Don't let it put you off biking though. Everyone has accidents. Good excuse to start shopping for a new Ducati. You'll be fine.

:bouncy::bouncy:

Hope ur well soon and back on 2 wheels.

Bugger ! get well soon

P.s at least the weather is turning crap.

my friends think I'm mad when I told them it didn't put me off biking :rolleye:

Im still waiting for an engineer to give me a call to arrange a day when he can come over and do his report.
hopefully, I'll get most of my money back. going to do shopping after New Year :smug:

P.S. I still didnt tell my mum about my crash :saint:

sorry to hear about the crash. hope you feel better soon

Get well soon and this time get a 999....and some rain tyres!!! ;););)
...glad you are Ok even just a little bit sore here and there
guarisci presto!!

Glade your ok SW, first rule of bike crashes is never ever tell you’re mum about it if you are in
a good enough condition to keep it from her.

Hope your not to sore and get your money though soon.

:saint:

Let me know if you need anything rubbing beter;)

get well soon x

Sorry to hear about this SW.
Get better soon and don't tell your mum!

:( Sorry to hear, main thing is you're all right but still hope you get the insurance job sorted with minimum ag.

Very sorry to hear of the crash, happy to know you had a good helmet and no broken bones. How did it happen. Maybe you can give us some more details so that we can all learn from the experience.
Moms worry and rightly so, about their kids all the time. i hide stuff from mine all the time, but she deserves more credit for being open minded about my follies. Non-bikers don't understand the drive behind us nuts who get back on two wheels the first chance we get. Good luck and again, good to hear that you came out pretty unscathed.

GWS:(

Sorry to hear about your accident. We all have one sooner or late. I had a big one this year, also cracked me helm. The biggest problem I have found after the accident (apart from the pain:sniff: ) is psychological. Getting back on a bike as soon as possible is the only cure.

The next Duc should be a red one though.....there better in the rain;) Everyone knows you can easily "tie a yellow Duc around an old oak tree":D

SW, sorry to hear the news hopefully you'll be feeling yourself again soon (no pun intended) and be back on a bike again soon. GWS.

Sorry to hear the news - get well soon.

After over twenty years with two wheels as my only transport, I have decided to ride just for the pleasure of it now. I used to ride in rain, sleat, snow, ice - the lot and binned my bikes at least once a year due to the conditions. I no longer ride in poor conditions as it gives me no pleasure. Thats why cars were invented. Just my personal oppinion.

Glad it hasn't damaged your enthusiasm. Feel better soon.

Moley :rodent:

Glad you are ok, don`t let it put you off.
Get your car fixed and use that in the rain.
Hope to see you soon.
pop up to boxhill on the 4th sunday, if you have your car back :D

thanks everyone for warm words

still waiting for an engineer to call mee - they are never quick with this sort of response lol

next time I'm going to get a yellow - yes, again. :P everything have to be colour co-ordinated LOL and white helmet - again.. LOL

If I'll get my car back b4 Xmas - I'll be very lucky

I cant believe how much I miss my bike already :sniff:

yellow is best.

hope you get it all sorted SW

sorry to hear about accident.

it will be a bit of a slog - get well soon

making up for it now by going to valencia for moto gp on bike............
:(

Hope all is going well :)
I once had a spill with my girfriend on the back, she didnt go home to her mums for 3 days till her limp had gone :)

Mums just dont like bikes, I think there faces are great when you pop in and tell em you've just bought a new one, and what follows.........


Just you be careful.

I think we all must have heard that one.

GetWellSoon Supra.

Oh No!!

Really sorry to hear that, but glad that you're not seriously injured, and that it's not put you off riding.

Hope to see you back in yellow again soon. :D

All the best

Dave

Sorry to hear about the accident.
Heal up quickly and get a 749S :bouncy:

Only just seen the thread. Sorry to hear of your accident.:(
I hope the insurance payout soon so you can get a red one.;)

Clint.

Thats ashame, i know how you feel as ive had 2 crashes on the bike this year alone, most important thing if your going to continue biking is what did you learn from it???
1 of my biking rules is dont ride in the rain, too much can go wrong, especially when your running the wrong tires for the rain.

At least your ok !! GWS.

/ian

P.S heres my new Helmet i got today, its the best money can buy !!Arai RX-7 Corsair, worth every penny.

ouch, hope you are ok SW, I know how you feel!!

Make sure you get plenty of rest, then get yourself a nice new yellow bike and stay indoors when its wet!!

take care

When wots wet Lil!! Are you refering to sliding off the seat:lol:

Only Just seen this SW...Sorry to hear your news. Get back on the bike straight away. The longer you leave it the more your self confidence diminishes.
A friend on this board told me that there are two types of rider, one that crashed and one that's gonna crash. It happens to us all at some time or another (Me, alot!)
Get well soon!:)

glad to hear your ok sw. yellow is best. they dont race in the works team in yellow because there to fast.:lol::lol::lol:

Thats exactly what I had - the same helmet, only in pure white. Next time Im getting the same, even it costed me £470 - my head is priceless LOL

My right arm still a bit weak, I get tired even from steering wheel LOL

But in spring - I'll get another one! no point now as the weather turning crap anyway

Only just seen this and sorry to hear about the prnag although I did hear about it from some of the others. Hope things are mending and we look forward to seeing you out at Box soon:cool:

:o;)

Now you know why you should always wear your best clean knickers when you are out on the bike.

You could have ended up in A & E having your jeans cut off. Just imagine if you had the old pair on with the holes in. How embarrasing would that have been?

I ALWAYS wear my best black lace ones under my long johns, just in case;)

Glad you'r O.K.:D

Sorry to hear of your accident SW......get well soon :bouncy:
