Just had a callbfrom Stu and he is in an Ambulance after losing the back and wrecking his GSXR

To all that know Stu, he isn't a nutter, so, this is ****

I'll be calling in a lot of favours to get Stu's bike back in the road ASAP

Grant was with him, so, he wasn't along, thankfully

[andrewsmith]

****ting hell

GWS Stu!
Get rid of that sodding Gixxer its bloody cursed

[dkid]

Oh sh*t! hope he's ok, gws TON!
Glad he was able to call you so that is good news in itself.

[maviczap]

That's not good. Gws

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

There is mixed news, Stu said to me he had a dislocated and broken ankle, but, it might be one is broken and the other is dislocated. He is in hospital with his misses.

The GSXR is cursed mind you

[Mauler]

Ouch! Get well soon, mate!

[squirrel_hunter]

Bugger.

[garynortheast]

Bloody hell! Hope he heals quickly.

[peterco]

get well soon.

[Jayneflakes]

Oh that is horrible news, some one tell Stu that we love him and to get well soon.
Love to Nikki too.

He lost the back end on a left hander (speed around 45) and slid across the road feet first into 2 bollards and a speed limit sign ripping them out of the ground. The bike hit the kerb and continued round the corner.
He's ended up with right heel and ankle breaks, his flat mate was off to collect him from the hospital when I left.

Got his bike back to his house, damage doesn't look to bad to my uneducated eye, back end took most of the impact. It lost all of it's oil, hopefully just from the broken cover. I had a bit of a wait for the recovery so started making a list of what was broken/damaged, both front fairings?, left mirror, clipon, engine cover, gear lever, rearset, rear plastics, brake light, sub frame (anything behind the front seat is buggered), rear wheel, possible twisted linkage, frame slider (worn down to the bolt).

On the plus point this could have been a lot worse, although he was moaning on an earlier stop that he was hot and regretted wearing his leathers had he not done so the inch of missing knee slider would now be a couple of inches of missing knee. He was lucky to avoid any oncoming traffic and the bollard stopped him from hitting a stone wall.

The speed sign

I should also say the police and the ambulance crews were brilliant. They even left me with a community police guy for protection from passing pikies until the recovery eventually turned up. The RAC however were cr4p I'll be cancelling my membership and they will never see any of my money again.
Green flag actually wanted to help, bit useless though, if I was to tell you I wanted a motorcycle recovering would you then ask if it was 4 wheel drive?

[Skybaba]

Sounds scary! Thankfully, it wasn't any worse.
Get well soon!

[rapidgaz]

Owwchie mend well Ton xGx

[keith_d]

One of my colleagues had a similar injury from falling down some steps (no she wasn't in police custody :) ) and has been off work for weeks. I hope his heals (no pun intended) faster than that.

Keith.

[Grant66]

Just talked to Nikki, Stu is still in hospital. He wasn't released last night (me not understanding who 'flat mate' was collecting), he had surgery last night to set the ankle and heel. This morning he's back in theatre having his shin fixed.

Do you want visitors Kiddo? Maybe a couple of us could come and and :laughat:

Heal fast Sweetie and give me a shout if you want the loan of a portable DVD player while you are in there? Hospital can be a seriously boring place. :thumbdown:

[Bluepete]

GWS!

You're going to have awesome tan lines when the cast comes off!

Pete ;)

[squirrel_hunter]

Wouldn't it have just been easier to book the week off of work?

Sounds nasty mate. How's the bike doing?

[TheOnlyNemesis]

[phi-dan]

Top effort getting the sign out of the ground tho

[TheRuffellator]

Get well soon mate, hope all ends well!

[PsychoCannon]

GWS!

[Owenski]

Fark me! Took a fair hit on that left side then.
Heal up pal! Bet your brother is gonna struggle to polish that out!

[Specialone]

That's crap news, GWS dude.

[muzikill]

Gws. :( .. alive tho :)

[TheOnlyNemesis]

If someone ever says we have to pop your foot back in but don't worry it won't hurt much, they are lying. Them trying to pop my foot in is the most painful thing i have ever experienced in my life.

[ChrisCurvyS]

Can't be fun but at least it's a tale to tell the grandkids. So what caused you to lose the back end?

[jambo]

Bugger,
Get well soon, that sounds like you've done a proper job of it :(

Jambo

[Griff-SV]

Get well soon chap! All the best :)

[TEC]

GWS and be thankful you did have your leathers on (http://fzronline.com/wiki/doku.php?id=extreme_road_rash-cause_effect_and_lesson_learned)

I had some relatively square tyres, been meaning to change them but other things kept breaking and i fixed them instead. Went into a left hand corner and leant off the bike but wasn't really going fast enough but leant over a bit more and i hit that bit of tyre where the square hits the curve and equals zero grip. It slipped out immediately, no warning, no skid mark on the road, so little tyre was in contact it just went.

[metalhead19]

Jeez, GWS mate.

[Bibio]

so it's time for a trike then...

GWS bud

[veenee]

GWS man, it could have been sooo much worse!

Bad luck but at least it's something we can all learn from. You're persumably a pretty experienced rider (judging by bike/join date) so I didn't think it would be one of the usual mistakes.

My back tyre's got a bit squared recently and I've noticed it locking under heavy braking where the centre of the tread is worn. Didn't really think it could affect grip when the bike's leant over till I read that and thought about it - will bear that in mind.

GWS mate anyway.

Being Stu's best mate all I can do I laugh about the first bit.

Bit, you're right, we can all learn from this, check your tyres and if the are "telling" you something, listen!

[_Stretchie_]

So when do we start the rebuild?

[Grant66]

Let me know what help you need.

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

Will do Grant, cheers for helping Stu on the day

[Geodude]

How you getting on Ton?

[TheOnlyNemesis]

Been out of it the past few days, lots of drugs and lots of pain. Now got all tubes out of me, the drain from my foot was 4 inches long and pulling it out was hell. Screamed the ward out. But am on the mend now, can't walk for another week but then hoping to be on crutches.

Decided to sell the GSXR and get a DRZ400SM instead, try some fun riding and less serious riding for a while. Just deciding if i should break it or flog it as a project.

[squirrel_hunter]

I'll give you £50 for it.

[gruntygiggles]

I'll give you £50 for it.

Stretchie said he'll give you £55...or a pulled pork shoulder and he'll throw in two racks of ribs :D

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

Good bidding war going here

[andrewsmith]

£55.50
