The 2012 Spill Counter

[SpookyJam]

11 months, a few days and no spills

Skill? Luck? Nah.. i've investigated possibilities of fusing my body with the floor with a bmx..

6ft 5 + some imagination and yes i've gone over those handle bars enough times to realise what concrete taste like..

ALTHOUGH near misses !?!? IVE HAD hundreds !!!!

Old bike having a false neutral, basically i pulled out in front of a bus and wanted to whizz off taking advantage of traffic as per usual.. but the bike said f*** you and gave me a false neutral..
I felt the bus's warm stanky vents breathing down my neck.

Err filtering, wacked my head + visor off of a van's mirrors then instantaneously sending someone's car mirror to venus..

Hehe

Well, I've been out of action for a while, ever since this but now that I'm off the pain killers and compos mentis once more I can give an update

Couple of pictures first since I know you like that sort of thing.

The original break

The knee staples

Knee staples and upper screw staples

Latest x-ray showing the pin and lower screws, notice that no healing has really occurred with the bones.

Accident was low speed, caused by my lack of experience and some mud that I didn't see. Bike ended up on top of me so has minimal damage.

Accident was attended by 2 police officers in separate cars who, in turn, were more interested in whether I have insurance, tax and the appropriate license. Eventually gave me one of those silver foil blankets, but not until after they'd done their checks and someone from a house down the road had put their jacket over me.

Ambulance crew turned up after what seemed like an age, probably wasn't. Gave me loads of gas and air. Took the pain away nicely. Cut off my left boot then shredded my textile trousers and jeans (both legs). Pretty impressed with the ambulance crew. Final act of the police was to breathalise me.

Owe a debt of gratitude to the guy who came from his house down the road. Nobody else had a phone and he let me call my wife to let her know. He also took my bike in and kept it in his garage while I was in hospital. Top man.

Quite pleased with how neatly they fitted the pin and how small the scar is - considering the size of the titanium rod that I now have in my leg.

Doctor's 14 week initial assessment was a little optimistic, now says another 18 weeks and I should be walking again.

75 I think?

I took my supermoto out for a spin today as I haven't used it in months. A combination of low sun, still-wet roads, 90 degree bend, misreading the road conditions and over-confidence resulted in me lowsiding the bike on the way out of the bend

The bike was fine and came out of it with a few scuffs and a scratched exhaust. I came out of it with damage to my leathers and lid, a bruised elbow and I bent my thumb backwards when the bars twisted.

Bit sore but otherwise OK!

Shame that it was your new lid as well

At least you are okay

The exhaust can be fixed quite easily

Pretty much, the rear wheel lost traction and slid out to the side. I must have hit a patch of something slippery but I was focusing on the exit of the bend and missed spotting it. I set the corner up poorly anyway but thought I could save it!

Need more power. Would have drifted round no issues

Looks like a pretty "nice" crash really, could have been a lot worse

[Alpha-9]

This is why I hate wet slippy roads
Actually looks like your back wheel hit the shit at the side of the road

It was pretty unspectacular as far as spills go, I am pretty grateful! It took longer to stand the bike up than it did to lay it down if that makes sense

Also lol, I got a troll face from Paddy

76?

Going to work yesterday morning, road goes down under a bridge then theres a turning right where there's always leaves and a nice slippy manhole cover so i always take it carefully. Unfortunatly yesterday was my unlucky day.... Navigated all of the leaves and the manhole cover only to hit some black ice and slide down the road on my buttox.

RHS fairing is all scraped and cracked, smashed the idicator, rear brake lever and mirror. Nose cone is all out of shape and the exhaust has a nice big scratch and dent in it. RST trousers have a nice big hole in the knee and after waiting 5 hours in A&E i've pulled some muscles in my back

^^^Bad luck. Have some

The roads are pretty unpredictable at the moment.

Have been 50/50 whether to chance riding to work and back or using public transport.

So far I've chanced it but, it's getting pretty close to the point of catching the bus or getting a cab.

Paint diagram for submission.

About 20-30mph in a 40, approaching lights on a long sweeping bend, very icey, cyclist bolted through a red (didn’t see me), and I went into death grip and slammed the anchors on. Was already tense keeping it up on ice. Would love too 100% blame cyclist, but that was a terrible reaction on my part Early morning foggy head and a terrible knee jerk reaction too blame.

Front wheels at an angle (loosen everything on forks / wheel and straighten like a bicycle wheel?), and handlebars bent. Thats about it. Everything else is just scuffs.

Cyclist stopped, looked at me on the floor, then rode off.

Unlucky sable, cyclist was a complete idiot, hope karma hits him bad.

Ooo, also, too add! Too maintain the true too life diagram, I did actually die, I lost 430 pints of blood, my leg fell off, and my arms have been torn from my body with the force I hit the ground.

(Or I have a bit of a hurty knee... One of the two...) ^^

[pinkyfloyd]

I would have twatted the cyclist instead of slamming the brakes on. Then let the police sort it out. But thats just me.

You'd have probably been better off just hitting the cunt on the bicycle.

Would have taught him a lesson too.

Hope you and your bike GWS
