Dissuade Down

[gettin2dizzy]

But still kicking. Highsided her new shiny yellow CBR600RR.

She'll be around shortly to explain, but I thought I'd get the news in first so you can all tell her what a daft bugger she is ...



;)

[Scoobs]

Ooof! Bad luck. Get well soon and I hope the damage ain't too bad.

[chasey]

Hope you're ok Dissuade and the bike isn't too badly scratched!!

[Luckypants]

Is she OK? 'Kicking' suggests she is, but hope that is the case.

Bad luck lass, hope it's not too bad!

[gettin2dizzy]

Is she OK? 'Kicking' suggests she is, but hope that is the case.

Bad luck lass, hope it's not too bad!
Yeah, absolutely fine. Took a knock on the head by the sounds of it, but no harder than the clip round the ear I was going to give her for buying a faster bike than mine :rolleyes:

[simesb]

GWS mate - you may have got lucky and scratched the yellow off so we can see the real paint....

Seriously, hope you're okay and the bike's not too bad either.

[hovis]

[Bear]

You aren't a soho member, so trying to get the yellow tee shirt to match your bike isn't gonna work anyway!

Sorry to hear about it mate, GWS and hope the damage ain't too bad.

[ArtyLady]

Oh no, glad your ok though.

[Dangerous Dave]

Ouch, glad to hear you are ok though.

[ThEGr33k]

I was wondering how long it would take before someone mentioned the peanut butter jelly! 4th page, tut tut :p

Now then....don't be silly:-$

[dissuade]

Hey guys,

Cheers for all your well-wishing. I'm quite concussed and have a very sore back/neck/shoulders/head/everything.

So here is how it really went:

I was travelling at about 670mph when a kitten ran out into the road. I had to stand up on the bike and jump over the kitteh to avoid it. In the process I slipped on some ectoplasm that the Ghost Busters had left lying around, pivoted the bike in mid-air, and landed on my head so hard it left a crater in the road and the shock of my landing could be felt all the way to Devon.

Yes. That's the opiates talking.

Actually, I took a right out of the Dental Hospital, slipped on some ice/diesel goo, was going to lowside into a bus shelter (I made people run!), caught it, wobbled, almost highsided, caught it, proceeded to consider lowsiding again on more goo, caught it, and then off I flipped, over the bars, cleared some air and launched myself over to the other side of the road, head connected with road and skidded along. Didn't even bother bracing for impact with my hands (the TOPS of my gloves are scuffed from where the rest of me landed on them and skidded some more). Bounced down the road on my head with bike following me, then when I stopped I remembered the massive bus coming in the opposite direction, so there was no time to count limbs. There were two guys running at me at this point who helped me pick the bike up, there was oil EVERYWHERE.

This happened at a heady 20mph-ish. I am SO rock n roll.

Got everything tidied up (ie. picked up bike remnants from the road) and got myself off to A&E, who said I was concussed. Well done, Sherlocks. Had to go back to A&E later for a CAT scan as I was dizzy, seeing double and aboarding the chunderbus. But apparently there is nothing wrong with my brain case or its contents. There was much rejoicing.

Bike is now at Hunts for assessment looking very poorly. The entire left side is binned. Cracked engine casing, all fairing panels on the left, nose cone, fairing brackets, indicators, footpeg, gear lever, bar end, bent bars, screen.... The list goes on. I'm pretty upset about it. Might well be a write-off.

If any of you have any top tips regarding insurance lark and what to do I'd appreciate them. Looks like I might just ask Hunts to make it roadworthy again and then just get plastics on ye olde eBay. Good job I got myself the MOST COMMON COLOUR EVER. Grr. Stupid American paint job.

Anyhoo. Reading all of that I realise the drugs are still talking, so I'm pretty glad I took the day off from delving into people's mouths with high speed rotary instruments and I shall now rest my aching self.

Cheers dudes, you rock many a sock.

MJ xx

[Brettus]

Ouch, sounds like it wasn't for lack of trying anyhow!
hope the bike and you GWS :)

[missyburd]

I am SO rock n roll.


Lol!

Sounds like you were very lucky, especially with a bus close by! Glad to hear no major damage to your noggin though, always a worry! Real shame about the poor bike though :(

p.s. you tell a good story ;)

[dizzyblonde]

Well done girl, so you did a MotoGP highside like FG1 did:cool:

Oil everywhere? likely to be petrol too flinging out of the carbs( or whatever the equivalent is on injections) mine did the same, it had a big wee up the pavement!

At least you had an audience of old ladies in the bus shelter(probably the most exciting run of their lives for a while) oooo girl on a bike its preposterous;)

Get it assessed for damage, it''' be a defo write off, with plastics shagged, n the usual levers, if its engine casings are peeing oil, it depends where from and if its worth repairing. You can buy bike back and rebuild em, but if its custom paint job is it really worth it.:confused:
Glad yor sense of humour has not taken a beating, you'll be ok in a day or two......rock on lass!

[Paul the 6th]

bedtime story ahoy!

glad to hear you're not seriously seriously injured :( sounds like you need the entire pennine massive to come round to yours and bring you nice glasses of water and maybe a slice of toast when you get your appetite back. We could play soothing music and do a modern/experimental relaxing dance piece for you. I'll dig out my fleetwood mac albatros mellow yellow remix. We'll see you right mj, don't you worry

[dizzyblonde]

oh yeah, and don't forget when they assess the damage, you make sure theres lots of inhaling of air from between your teeth, like a mechanic, when they give you a estimate figure that your not happy with :-)

[Grinch]

I'd also go back to the scene and see if the goo in the road is still there and complain to the council, while getting some photos as you might be able to use it in a claim.

[joshmac]

Ouch!
Sorry to hear about your off.
Hope it all gets sorted ASAP

Surely, being from oop north she'd prefer some carrot cake and some peanut butter jelly ;):p

[startrek.steve]

Welcome to the 20mph off-club!

Is the Peanut Butter Jelly OK?

Steve

[ArtyLady]

Thank goodness youre ok - especially your noddle - the most important part of your body! (obviously!) My blood runs cold at the thought of it... :smt120 enjoy the rest - give yourself time to get completely better :cool:

[Dappa D]

sorry to her hun, gws x

[Nobbylad]

+1 many moons ago I got compo and repairs off the council for them leaving a load of sand across a junction I had turned into....they put it there to cover a diesel spill :rolleyes:

Lot's of peeps falling off at the moment :(

[missyburd]

Lot's of peeps falling off at the moment :(

Ahhh who else???

[DanAbnormal]

Ouchy. Well, glad you lived to tell the tale.

Sounds like you'll claim on your insurance and have to take the hit. Pain in the **** but it's the way of things unless you have photo evidence that it was a bus or of the vehicle dumping any diesel etc. If it was ice then you could always try to sue god? :flower: Just a thought. Hope you get a decision and payout quick.

[startrek.steve]

Ahhh who else???

Me in August...

[DanAbnormal]

Me in November.

[vardypeeps]

Glad your not too badly damaged! Get Well Soon and keep on trucking, oops I mean biking!

[missyburd]

Oh sorry guys I thought you meant like this week, I know there was a whole handful of you a few weeks back :( I thought something similar might be going on.

:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: for all those of you who've had offs in the last few months...YC and me included :rolleyes: :smt120

[Raf]

Ouch, I don't like hearing about stylish and painful dismounts. Glad to know you are most there, who said drugs don't work!?

I hope you get your tupperware of death back in a timely manner. Get well soon.

[captainsmelly]

that must have been very scary, glad you're ok

[Paws]

owwww, gws soon huni, hope you get bike sorted

[dizzyblonde]

FG1 last week.
Me in September
The guy thats pimped his ride in the tweek section, who got t- boned last week:-(

[yorkie_chris]

Time to start a Pennine Crashy Mcgee methinks!

I'd be wearing it if so lol

But apparently there is nothing wrong with my brain case or its contents. There was much rejoicing.

Cracked engine casing, all fairing panels on the left, nose cone, fairing brackets, indicators, footpeg, gear lever, bar end, bent bars, screen.... The list goes on. I'm pretty upset about it. Might well be a write-off.

Fairings? What you want them for?

It's pretty much all cosmetics and should be pretty cheap to put back on road... personally I wouldn't bother with insurance, they'll roger you well properly next year if you claim.

The engine casing needs looking at carefully though, if it's been pushed in too far and nudged the crank then you could have problems but you'd have to take the casing off and have a look

As for nothing wrong with your brain case... I demand a recount!

Yeah but you forget that some of us like to ride our bikes looking pristine, not all of us like the idea of a rat on the road:) by the sounds of it, and the only way of getting her pristine tupperware of death back on the road (if at all) would be to go insurance route and deal with it appropriately

Not all of us are within reach of kind mucky mechanical types that know what they are doing to repair it either...I'm lucky in that respect...cause if I didn't have one of those Im Indoors wouldn't so it:rolleyes:

[yorkie_chris]

Easy enough to get panels replaced or repaired, you DON'T need a main dealer and a 3 million pound repair bill to get a bike looking clean!

[dizzyblonde]

shes got custom paint..well thats the jist I got from one of her posts a couple of pages back :-(

[G]

Gutted, at least your ok.

I'm guessing its US import as that yellow was an america ltd edition wasnt it?

[Essex of Essex]

10 out of 10 for a stylish drop, just don't do it again. GWS bikes can allways be replaced or rebuilt, we are not generally so resistant to damage.

[Davies]

Sorry to hear about your off, good to know you're not too badly hurt though. GWS :D

Ahhh who else???

Me last week (http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=121563) :(

[chris8886]

how rubbish, very glad there doesn't seem to be any damage to your head! hope it all goes well getting repairs etc.

what did it look like beforehand i don't think i've seen this one!!

[Speedy Claire]

Sorry to hear bout the concussion and the aches and pains... get well soon and best of luck with the repairs

[Kinvig]

Oh no!!!!!

GWS!

At least it wasn't the sv!

[Doofer]

Ahhh who else???

Me in October, wrote off my SV400, I'm now on a yellow SV650.

Glad to hear you've survived relatively unscathed MJ, take it easy and heal fully before trying to do too much, it was good to meet you and the two Chris's at the Cat & Fiddle the day you picked up the Tupperware, you seemed so please with it despite the horrid weather.

As others have said, try to get some photos, witnesses, anything to help prove that you were not at fault, I'm currently in the process if trying to sue the farmer who left this all over the road

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p315/Doofer_Jen/IMG_1823.jpg

early days yet, but it does look like I have a fight on my hands to get compensation for my bike and both mine and my pillion's bike gear.

Doof

[sv-robo]

Total bummer...........hope you & the bike GWS.

[Gene genie]

nice to see you've still got your sense of humour. arrrrgh gutted for you. hope it all sorts it self out and soon. and it needs to be, i've never known anybody so keen to get back on.:thumbsup:

[tanis34]

not another one gws hope you dont hurt for too long X

[muffles]

Stupid American paint job.

I'm guessing its US import as that yellow was an america ltd edition wasnt it?

Quick quick tell me last week's lottery numbers!! ;) :p

Anyway hope you don't have to spend too much to get it back to it's previous condition, sounds nice...and sounds like you are OK too so that's good.

[Law]

Glad you're ok and it sounds like they've given you some good drugs :). Get well soon.

[BanannaMan]

Me in July. :(


You might try finding those plastics (in the same colour) on the US fleaBay....
If you need help getting them shipped to the UK .....just PM me.

Ill be amazed if you get anything at all. Unless its a private road and in that case your still stuffed. I would have thourght the council would have been a better bet?

[stewie]

Ooops, hope you,re feeling a bit better by now.

[Lozzo]

Ooops, that was a bit careless - should have read Sid Squid's sig before riding.

Glad you're ok, and hope the bike fixes cheaply.

[Interceptor]

Sorry to hear of your off MJ, glad to hear you're recovering from the blow to your turnip, GWS & good luck with sorting the little yellow revbox.....;)

[dissuade]

update on the sorry looking yellow menace...

the quote i got to fix her would have classed it an insurance write-off. woo. because it is all cosmetic work it can actually be fixed. my go-to guy now has the bike and he'll fix it without claiming on the insurance for around 500 squids. my insurance excess was 350 anyway so i saw no point in being raped by them on contributions next year and paying 350 for the privilege of them writing my love off. ixnay to that idea.

currently the parts are all ordered, my hero will fit them in the week, panels to be painted on friday, colour-matched blabla, all systems go.

the world is looking up ever so slightly. i'd still appreciate it if upstairs could refrain from the jokes for a while though.

and i am still sky high on a 5 day opiate binge.

thanks again for all your concerns.

keep it lit.

xx

[zsv650]

thats good that you didnt have to go through the insurance route sometimes more trouble than it's worth oh and sorry to hear you dumped the bike hope it's sorted back to it's former glory soon.

[yorkie_chris]

Plastics back on? Why? Cargo net and some fibreglass not good enough for you ehhhhh?
