[R6jonny]

Ok so it had to happen ...

i trashed the R6 tonight on the way home from work..

over a crest...front end light ( no i wasnt wheelying ) throttle either stuck open or i had a funny grip on the throttle ....cant quite recall...remember the engine was screaming though..

i panic braked and the front wheel locked and slipped out ..

fell onto my right side pretty heavy, slid rolled and tumbled for 30 feet or so bike slid for aagggggggggeeeeeeeeeeeees

got up and could feel mega road rash on legs and pain in my hip

went to bike which had spilled its insides all over Bromleys finest road ...

big ass hole in the right side engine thingy ( technical term ) oil everywhere
cracked screen , big lump missing
brake lever fucked
all RHS plastics dead
exhaust ....dead.
footpeg dead


Me.... left big toe somehow bruised through my SIDI's with little damage to them
left knee nicely swollen and road rashed
left side of neck stiff and sore
left hand numb and bruised
right knee ...minor rash
right thigh ...bruising and swelling
right hip ....major bruising and some nasty soft tissue damage
right upper arm bruised and bad soft tissue damage

hoody top ruined was wearing it over the top of my leather jacket..

gloves torn first layer of leather

lid scraped RHS and visor fucked

boots worn left toe

and dammit i was only wearing jeans but they got torn too

oh well ...... i feel bloody lucky that is all thats damaged to be honest....and im glad no one else was involved

nite nite

(ex R6) Jonny

PS i might post pics if i can get the camera working

PPS forgot to add thanks to the 2 black cabs that drove straight past me laying in the road, the bus driver who drove up the kerb to go past my wrecked bike

but on a serious note thanks to the car driving biker who stopped and helped me move the bike, the biker local who came out to help and *cough* the traffic car that stopped and took me to hospital

cheers

Shit happens.

Atleast you got away with it this time. Get the bike fixed up, and forget it happened..

[R6jonny]

[gauloises]

Bollocks.

Hope it gets sorted out sooner rather than later, and glad you're ok/ish.

Glad to hear you're ok, don't worry about the damages to the bike, I'm sure you bent coppers can just impound someone elses bike and rob the parts off that.

Unlucky mate

Hope you get the bike sorted.

[mcbiker]

Get well soon.

Those injuries need to be kept clean, do that and your on the way.

Shit about the bike

Hey, were you speeding~?

Hi

Ouch, but you sound not too bad and the bike should be fairly easy to fix.

All the best

Oooooooooooo bugger.


I hope you are feeling better soon, keep that toe elevated and the road rash clean as killa said it's really important - loads of vit. E cream it'll heal a treat without scarring.

Nice to know people still stop to help

Take it easy, and I grant full permission to feel utterly sorry for yourself and cry over broken bits of bike.

R6Johnny..............DOHHHHHHH ya silly sausage!

"Wanna buy a Blackbird "

Lucky chap not to be too badly injured,, wearing jeans and NOT your leathers you bad lad. This should be a reminder to others that even sensible law abiding riders such as ME and THEE can come unstuck

The bike is just a bike......get ya self sorted out and fix it up later.

All the best partner.. Johnny XX

[Bendy]

Dammit, I said five days.

Unlucky dude, you were meant to stack it in a stand up wheelie.


Remember, G's got a garage full of R6 bits he's meant to be selling.

[DucatiEVO]

[kath600]

unlucky!!!

hope you get the bike and yourself sorted asap!

Owch, Hope you heal quickly and that the damage isnt too bad. Oh and Id say fighter

[paulthewitt]

at least you still got the 748 though rite?

and why were people saying you would stack it?
glad your relatively ok. restore imo, will resell for more, and remember that if a plastic section is still fitted (not hanging off) you may aswell use it. ok so the bike wont look as nice, but it will function just aswell. do the mechanical stuff first.

Paul

[Teaman]

oppsy daisy indeedy mate..

unlucky about the bike, still mendable , as its only scrapes and stuff, im sure if you phone breakers youll find another r6 that was dropped on the other side sorted

Ah, i wish you a speedy recovery then. At least you sold your Duke, i can only imagine what it would have been like if that same thing happened on your 748

Bugger man, glad to here your OK?

[Jrod]

Streetfighters arn't tarty.

[R6jonny]

brake lever and clip on knackered ....

[colin1]

maybe its time to get something a bit slower for a while

glad you escaped with minor injuries
shame about the bike

More importantly I hope all that spilled oil was got up by someone. I wdnt want another biker to slip on your mess.

I guess maybe the traffic cop did it.

If you get the chance it might be worth visiting the spot with some sand just in case there is some oil still on the road.

bad news about the bike mate, glad your ok.

Makes me feel a little better about my little roll down Clapham high street the other day!

I'm still not riding but should be fit for Monday (wheely school)

Thankfully I was wearing textile trousers and got no gravel rash, although my knee is seriously mashed after the bike decided to land handlebar first into the back of it!

Glad your not to badly hurt.
I say track prep it
