[Drew Carey]

can you lot pipe down...trying to sell it to him\\:D/

You being serious???????? We have all seen you drop the thing in a petrol station and also moan about strange sounds from the engine bars........you really think he's gonna buy it???? The only way I think you will sell it is if you can find a slipper wearing, marginally blind, totally deaf bike rider who has a desire to sit astride a vehicular armchair.

PS - Luvs ya man, knows im kidding.......its actually quite a nice bike to ride......

I'll go wash my mouth out!!!!!!!!!!!

[Alpinestarhero]

gav, does your helmet have a double-d ring to fasten the strap, or a buckle type thing?

[Dave20046]

were you wearing a back protector by the way wide boy?

[Wideboy]

dd fastner, and no no back protector hence fractured spine, had a bath and i got a few scratches up my side, got photo but upload it later

[dizzyblonde]

Widepants, its not hard to fracture your spine.

Try not to laugh but I did mine falling off a pair of four inch heels!

Has anything comeback to you yet? or is your memory still a bit vague?

[Dave20046]

Could have happened with the protector, I crashed in my protector I'm still using it ...I probably should have renewed it.

What make of lid was it, did it fit?! so unlucky it came off.

[Wideboy]

i cant remember a thing, the plod is coming to see me on monday or when ever to get a statement, he probably knows more than i do, well infact he does i cant remember a thing

[dizzyblonde]

wouldn't worry about it, matt can't remember much from his big off, and hes had ten yrs to think about it..lol.

[phil24_7]

GWS, hope your not aching too much.

[Lozzo]

Sorry to hear this, look after yourself and GWS.

[Lozzo]

What make and model of lid was it?

You'll probavbly find it came off your noggin because it wasn't the correct fit for your shape of head. I have to be very careful what lid I wear because quite a few can roll off my head when done up tight.

you big numpty widepants! having read that first bit i was expecting you say you'd be in for ages and needing surgery or something. so glad you're sort of alright. take it easy and listen to those medical types so you get your recovery right.

[Drew Carey]

I think you got off lightly yourself too:cool: glad to see your still in one piece:cool:

Whats the plan with the bike repairs or are you just gonna bin it and get a pointy? ;)

[Wideboy]

never!!!

i have sourced a free brake leaver (thanks mr alpinestarhero), basically when im back on my feet in a few weeks i can pick up some tools and fix up the bike

mattsv has offerd me use of a abba stand so thanks to him loads, he said i could keep it aswell :smt083

[shifter]

Don't forget mate, front sub frame if you need it!

[Dave20046]

There's a front subframe :confused:

[SoulKiss]

I think it a little fishy that his lid just came off.

How I see events (The Soulkiss Conspiracy Theory)

With the renewed comparisons being made between Prince Harry and James Hewitt, the British Secret Service decided that Harry needs to have his appearance changed.

So when Harry is spotted out on a motorbike, the plan springs into action.

A tranquiliser dart is fired, causing "Harry" to lose control.

It was only on removing the helmet that it was discovered that they had, in fact, a case of mistaken identity on their hands.

So a quick chuck of the lid to the side of the road, and a carefully placed boot to the head and a broken jaw and some missing teeth later and now Wideboy looks less like Harry AND by extension, James Hewitt.

It was also cheaper to use the boot, than the Harley Street surgeon that had been woken up.

So thats what happened - hope this fills in the 30 min blank for you Gav :)

[dizzyblonde]

There's a front subframe :confused:


yessss, its faired, where do you think the headlights sits and all the other gubbins that faired ones have?:rolleyes::mrgreen:

[Dave20046]

Ahh I've never worked on a faired one (although to be honest assumed the plastics supported it).

There's a front subframe :confused:
The bracket that holds the clocks, headlights and mirrors on faired models, often called the front sub frame:)

wow its like everything flashed infront of me there and then ;):)

cheers mate, unfortunately i cant get into the garage to see if it is broken, i think its just bent, i wouldn't want you to send it encase there is nothing wrong with the one i have

Not trying to scare you mate but get prepared to give them a convincing account of what you 'recall', as when I ran into the back of someone police were straight on the scene trying to arrest me until one logical copper said look don't arrest him he's just been through a speed camera it will have distracted him - so unless we get a photo of him on one wheel through that camera there is no point. Was quite thankful for that guy being there, you just don't need the stress. If that guy hadn't have been confident that I wasn't being an ar$e then they'd be looking into me driving w/o due care or worse. They are very suspicious of bikers.

All I wanted to do was get to hospital!

yep I was amazed he was sound. he visited me in hospital and I quote "yep, people say they make them safer they don't they just distract them"
I then just said "****, it was facing the other way anyway I needn't have looked down at my clocks"
"yeah and if it's a forward facing one give it two fingers and wheelie off!"
"Right then officer"
"err oh yeah" *notices my mum looking shocked*

haha I was genuinely impressed with that particular copper (one acompanying him looked like a bit of a jobsworth and just agreed...got the impression he would have agreed if I had been put under arrest too or if they had of decided a raping was necesary). I kind of regret being quite rude to them at first but I think he understood then we had a chat when I was in hospital, also rang me a couple of times to ask if I was okay.

lol Wonder how many people walked past you while you were knocked out
'tsk, bloody bikers' As their dog ***** it's leg up lol.

[diamond]

I'd be tempted to ring the station and ask them if he can contact you. If it's Cosham station and you have no luck getting hold of him, feel free to PM me his name as my brother is a traffic Sgt there and might be able to help get hold of him and get you some info.

[Wideboy]

oh nice one thanks

[svrich]

Man, that's a bad day! I'm coming to terms with my little (by comparison) off. Focus on you for a good while and get fully fit before worrying about the bike side of things. Get loads of DVD's to watch too, as daytime TV will melt your brain after two days. FACT ;)

[Wideboy]

right had a good look at the bike and well, here's my hypothesis of wtf happened

going round a right hander leaned over, back end looses grip or i leaned over to far and fell off (there is no chicken strip), i some how chinned the floor hence helmet off explains jaw and teeth, the bike then either left the road before it touched the ground or the bike fell on me then left the road (looking at damage and state of leathers), i then continued down the road gathering my injuries before coming to rest on the side of the road unconscious

looking at damage i need:
FR bikini fairing and bracket
front indi's (i have some somewhere)
right mirror
clock surround
right clip on
bar end
front subframe (maybe)
head light cluster
front brake leaver (thank you alpinestar :smt008)
heated tart grip :smt010
front tyre

new: helmet, 2 piece leathers, boots, but my gloves have survived after a second off but will replace them as they are ancient now

some of the paint work may be able to be t-cut with some good stuff and my rad might be able to be un-twisted with some persuasion, and reckon i can cut the zorst down more :smt096

[missyburd]

Sounds pretty damn costly to me WB, hope the .org can stump up some parts for you, if not good old fleabay.

This whole lid coming off business still sounds suspicious to me, it wasn't a flip-up lid was it? I just don't get how it could come off unless it was way too big for you :confused: (sorry if you've already covered the lid business somewhere already, I can't keep up lol)

I was actually talking to a mate last night who is training to be a solicitor and works with a law firm, he said that WB should make a case about his helmet as he sees this alot and people are always making cases for the same reason, Lid came off.

There are probably some solicitors on here that might be able to give you some advice.

Thats if you can be bothered of course. :)

[Wideboy]

yeah was going to fleabay it when im back earning some dosh

i don't know how the lid came off, was definitely done up because i pulled over and was on the phone about 30 mins before i came off, it was a crap lid but was gold certificated

I doubt you would have lost the back end on an SV. More likely that the front would have gone.....:confused: then face planted.

[missyburd]

Very strange but also very worrying, if as you say J2UK people are reporting this type of thing quite a bit. Makes you wonder how reliable anyone's lid is, but then I guess that's what road tests are for, they're supposed to check these things before they sell them, yes?

[Mej]

Yeah thats what i thought, bit dodgy.

[Frank]

So WP...do you still think a seized engine could have caused your spill?

[yorkie_chris]

I doubt you would have lost the back end on an SV. More likely that the front would have gone.....:confused: then face planted.

It's quite possible depending on how silly you are being and 101 other factors.

Whether it is back or front sliding makes little difference in this case though!

[yorkie_chris]

Yeah thats what i thought, bit dodgy.

An ill fitting lid will easily roll around on your head, which I suspect would be the lid manufacturers first arguement.

[dizzyblonde]

Its more likely to be a factor, plus a double D ring lid isn't going to come undone in a hurry. I'd understand if it were the other sort, I've gone doen the road a couple of times and realised its not clipped right and come undone.
WB are you sure you did it back up after gassing on the phone?
Bikes a bit of a write off :-(

yeah, when ever I've pulled away and its not been done up it slaps on the side of the helmet so you know its undone, plus when it is done up it holds my neck tube nice and snug so i don't get cold, which i always check :mrgreen:

[missyburd]

I'd understand if it were the other sort, I've gone doen the road a couple of times and realised its not clipped right and come undone.
1) thought you'd only been off the once (feel free to correct me :-P) and 2) surely the fact its not clipped right is a mistake on the wearer's part?

You great kn*b! Pretty nasty one, glad you're up and about, gws!

no, as in riding off down the road:rolleyes:
and no again, occasionally and rarely you do em up, and they have clipped only to find that suddenly it goes loose and its hasn't done up.
