2007 has been shit...

[Graham88]

I really do have the worst luck in the world.

After my accident last Thursday, I thought nothing else could possibly get worse, how wrong was I.

I've just got back from the hospital who have given me the all clear, after I skidded into a railing and flipped around...

Yes, I crashed again.

To be honest, I have no idea what the fuck happened. I was doing 30 coming up to a corner, went to brake and it just didn't, then went to try and go round the corner at 30 and it just wouldn't turn at all, so I pulled clutch in and changed down and for some reason it locked the rear and sent me down. Bike skidded with me into the kerb then I contined into the railing and did like a 180 or something, I can't really remember.

Bike is fucked, pissed all the oil out, and the coolant.
Rad is snapped in half
Engine casing cracked
RH Side fairing is cracked/obliterated
Front fairing is cracked
Front headlights are all bent
Right footpeg has completely snapped
Tank is dented
Seat fairing is cracked and scratched
Brake reservoir has split and there is now brake fluid now
Brake lever is further down and when you brake it goes under the throttle
Screen is smashed too
It won't start either

I could honestly cry right now and my back is fucking killing me. The Doctor said I have concussion but it should go away within a couple of days.

I'm so gutted you don't even understand. 2 months of work/effort/money down the drain.

I'm sorry for making such a long post but I somehow need to get it all out of my system, and right now, at 3:40am this is the only way I can do it.

I'll get some pictures tomorrow, and also Ben took some at the scene.

That's another thing, big thanks to Ben and Ryan who stayed with me and took me to the hospital after my bike was recovered and taken home.

I just want to go out to the garage now and start breaking it, I just want rid now.

Feel for you graham. Utter rotten luck.

Take two paracetamols every 6 hours for the back. By itself, paracetamol is fairly weak but if taken regularly, it'll build up a level of analgesia as strong as morphine (without the side effects).

Take it easy, I do feel for ya bro.

I just hope this doesn't make you want to quit biking

You really shouldn't be riding a bike at all.

[SoND]

[peppa pig]

What a crap start to the year, but with any luck things can only get better. Hope you and the bike sorted and back on the road soon.

[Keir]

Sorry for your bad luck.

Are you sure you put the bike back together right? Bleed the brakes etc etc?

Sorry to hear this.

Take it easy and rest up a few days. Once your head`s settled a little, have a few beers.

Fuck the bike for now, its not going anywhere And chalk it down to experience.

And remember(had a bad year 2 years ago), it does come to an end. And someone, somewhere, is having a tougher time than you (believe it or not ).

Is this your first bike? How long you been riding?

Bad luck about this bud.

[McGee]

At the end of the day once you start riding its hard to not own a bike after that

If your gonna get a car get a shite box for winter and a decent bike for summer

Its his choice maybe he feels like his luck is running out and its time for 4 wheels for a bit.

I'd get a car in your situation then look at getting some advanced riding lessons in spring if you still feel like riding a bike. Two accidents in 16 days can't be just down to bad luck

[JonB]

I'd say the second one was probably unlucky, but I do have a feeling it only happened cause of the previous crashes.

Anyway, I wouldn't advise you to leave biking cause of this, but I would advise you to get a new bike.

All that badwidth in photos- to come to and end like that

Try and stay with bikes, you know you want to but if you did move up in the wheel count its understandable.

Good luck for the rest of the year

Ouch mate, sorry to see that. Looks a bit of a mess, still, re-build it bigger and better.

Cars aren't really the answer in my opinion - by far the worst accident I've been in was sitting at a constant 50mph in a straight line on a car.

I'd recommended getting a copy of 'Motorcycle Roadcraft: a police Rider's handbook'.
Obviously you /do/ have to read and learn from it.

[mrtEE]

have u tried a bit of T-cut?
