Dropped My Gixxer And Got Run Over By A Car!

[freestyler_onli]

As it says- an icy road was the down fall.

As i fell i managed to twist the throttle which span the bike round and so it plopped over instead of smashing over.

Still got a £1300 repair bill-but at least im ok.

Oh- and SIDI boots saved my life by the way!

Can't stop- safe riding all!

[Flip]

Jesus, another one!?

The boots saved your feet, the helmet saved your life.

Good to walk away isn't it.

[Claud 14.7 to 1]

Ball orcs...

Sorry to hear that. Ice, yeah there was plenty out today. In patches, sometimes tricky to see. Be careful people.

Seem the weather has suddenly got colder and icy. I though the worse would have been over by now...

Hope you get well soon.

[BLOFLY 636]

phaaark mate ice on the roads over there! I think I would turn into a quivering mess if I looked out my window and seen the weather you guys have over there Great to see you are ok and that your bike managed to escape with minor damage

[freestyler_onli]

Yeah ta guys. I thought i would've been more shaken than i was- oh well.

I'll need a replacement brake lever anyway-presuming i can get away with the fairings.

Any ideas how to get someone to come out and look at it to make sure it's ok?

[G]

Glad you're ok.

If you have a look for check lists for buying bikes and go over your bike, that should cover it.

I know you weren't really bothered by the money, but to others that are, this is why we often advise not to buy a new bike as a first big bike.

[freestyler_onli]

Good call G. It's a case of 'i told you so..........'

[kasandrich]

[John]

Glad you're OK. Sounds dodgy.

Hope your bike gets well soon.

that truly sucks mate, sorry to hear that, seems everyone's falling off their bikes atm, me my best friend (10 minutes apart - oposite sides of the island) then yesterday the exact same thing happened to my friend that happened to you.

Hope you're allright and hasn't put u off riding, the gsxr is a bueitiful bike.

[freestyler_onli]

I conducted 'Operation Jetwash' and it isn't as bad as first thought. Minor cosmetic damage to the fairings. Insurance is a no-no. It'd be cheaper to patch it up in the long run. Run over by a skidding car- it dragged me by my boot out of the way of another car which was sliding towards my head

I haven't been put off at all. I gotta drop it off for its 500 mile service on Tues so i'll see what needs replacing when they've done.

[timmya]

do u remember everything?

i had my accident on friday and i still cannot remember a single thing.. except waking up in hospital.. but even that i can just vaugly remember.

Yeah i can remember it. I remember being dragged along and thinking 'i hope you stop-you just saved my life practically.'

He stopped and i now owe him loads of beers. I'd also like to say that i was limping along afterwards at 10mph with me hazards on when i was flagged over by a car. It was a biker who was in his wifes car and was just looking out for me-making sure i was ok. What a nice bloke!

[timmya]

wow..

i really really hope i remember..

u thik i'll remember some day? or is it more likely that the brain will just keep blocking that part of memory?

[freestyler_onli]

I know this is dragging up a really old post but since i posted this one i had a much more serious accident.

Upon reading this i might be inclined to go and see a psychologist myself as i cant remember a thing about the accident!

[mchaggis]

Anything about the one at the start of this thread, or the more serious one? I don't know anything other than a witness statement about my accident. Headbutting the ground tends to do that.

The more serious one.

I can remember the whole thing for the one that this topic is about.


The other one happened on a Friday night and i can only remember sort of Wednesday night/Thursday morning of the following week.

However-there are some things that you wish you'd never get told.

This bird i like came to see me in intensive care and i was naked on top of the bed

[Rookie]

What serious accident is that, freestyler_onli?
