Thanking Biker After My Off

[Snipet]

Dont know whether you are on here or not, but wanted to say thank you to the biker that stopped today to make sure I was ok, after I crashed.
Couldn't see what you were riding due to being neck braced and strapped to a spinal board, but was much appreciated having a fellow biker there through out.
Stayed until the ambulance took me off and even took some pictures on my phone for me to.

I hit the curb about where the police car is, and ended up getting between the post and tree. Lady in car behind said my head missed the post by 6 inches.


How far from lamp post bike ended:

Ok, I'll ask; how did your back wheel get to hit that high up?

Was the ramp removed before the photos were taken?

Glad you're in one piece though. It looks like it could've been a bad one.

Front wheel skidded and hit the curb and just seemed to stop dead. Back wheel though mounted curb, got flung up and over the front and 'SMACK'

All ive got is a small 1" scratch on my wrist and a graze on my knee about the size of a 5p.
Other than that just bruises and pulled muscles down my back and ribs.

Rear tyre tread in the centre looks iffy on last photo

Damn, that is bent... Reckon some parts will fit the ZX6R, if so.. £££

Hope you are ok!

[Dave70]

Glad you came out of that relatively unhurt but, you're going to hurt tomorrow so make sure you get some analgesia in at home while you can still move

Shame about the bike though.

[Dean-J]

Glad to hear your ok fella!

Got to ask the question.... how come your front wheel hit the kerb?

What road is that? i recognise it but cant quite put my finger on it!

[Jayy]

You lucky, lucky, lucky bastard missing that post and tree! Glad you're alright, looks like a pretty serious accident there.

Can't remember who it was on here, said they lost it at 30mph on a roundabout and hit a lamp post and had all kinds of lacerations and liver damage or something.

You are seriously lucky to be alive mate, I would be walking (crawling) around high as a kite I was still alive after that!

[DJS]

Really glad to hear that your injuries are relatively small all things considered. However, I agree that you are likely to be one stiff mother tomorrow!

Given how lucky you seem to have been today can you let me know what numbers you pick for the lottery next weekend please?

Hi mate, yes it was me. Hope you're all ok?

I did think that any biker would want photos, so offered to take a few on your phone. I must have been a minute behind you, as all I saw was some woman flapping in the road and your shit everywhere.

The other person (car driver) did get the ambulance called straight away, which was all good. And she got a blanket for you too... No cup of tea though.

I take it you had a top box? That was miles back too, must have bounced off the lamppost. You're headlight landed about a metre away from your head too. Your waterproof trousers were ok though!

To be fair, the road was wet there as it's under trees. It's also a NSL to everyone who doesn't know the area!

I was speaking to the Police Offer after, and you're very lucky - you went between the lamppost and the tree - and must have rolled for ages. You did land on the spongiest grass ever - took me ages to get mud off my boots before I left.

I was thinking after the event, I should have mentioned these forums (Actually, did I? I can't remember if I did or not). But all the car drivers would have thought that a bit sad though.

Oh, that paramedic lady was fit wasn't she!

Hehe the ambulance man did show me my head light.
Seemed to have faired quite well considering it wasn't attached to the bike any longer and travelled as far as I had.
The lady from the car behind said my head missed the post by about 6 inches, if I'd have hit it I'd be a gonner according to the paramedics. Felt like I rolled a mile to be honest, and took in most of the grass and leaves with me to the hospital in my jacket

And she was a bit of alright wasn't she.
