CRASHED

[rasputin]

Glad to hear you are going to survive this with fairly minimal damage (when one considers the alternative).
I was having a hard time picturing the accident as you fellows ride on the other side of the road than we do, but hurting is still hurting. Hope you have a speedy recovery!
As for the other pictures all I can do is cringe and imagine that pain.

As Bill said "Great things do not lay down"

forks are bent


the size of the dent doesn,t really show in the pic, but it has seriously damaged the tank that had so much time spent on it

the frame looks like it,s cactus  a huge crease behind the lower head stem bearing

MMM, nasty, I was probably only doing 40 k's or so when i hit the windscreen so i guess i'm lucky!

well, as it turned out that was the least of my immediate worries....... I had broken most of the ribs on my right side, my clavicle, and punctured my lung - apart from the odd angle of my wrist I was unconvinced that it was a problem - but endone, oxycontin, and tramil (not sure about spelling) eased the pain.....

No Bryan, not that bad, the knob of the big bone has a crack through it, (bottom right of first xray)
Going off the pain i have, your's must have been bloody painfull!!

Makzy......I hope your wrist doesn't look like this.......my left from 2008 - wrote off a ZRX1200.....

[makzy]

Thanks for the concern guys,  apart from a broken wrist and a few bruises i'm ok, which is more than i can say for the bike, thanks for the offer of parts but i already have enough to build another bike, exactly what i'm gunna do is yet to be decided, cheers..

+1 on what Jonesey said, mate. Just glad you're more or less in one piece.
I'm on dayshift tomorrow. Might pop around after work to see what I can help with.

[Jonesy :-)]

Theres some major downsides to that story makzy, but one up side is your around to tell the story.
Sorry to hear it. I picked up some bits n pieces recently and some of the parts are well corroded and need substantial work to recover to usable state but let us know what your final parts list is for repairing your ride

[makzy]

Went for ride this morning just to do a few things in town, following a pantec truck doing about 55ks, he indicated to turn left into a side street, i slowed rite up and moved to the right when suddenly a white commodor appears from nowhere turning right out of the side street, i cleaned him up just inside his driver side headlight, hit the windscreen with my head shoulder and left hip, demolishing the screen, hurteled over the car and on to the road.
 The end result, bent forkes, mudguard, 3 blinkers, tank, exaust, handle bars, right side engine cover, front MC and lever, and a broken wrist and some bruises and scratches, and the poor f*****n car driver was in too much shock to talk to the cops!!!!!!!!!!
