Ouch Again!!! - SV650.org

So.... riding home after a nice afternoon working on bikes at Sam and Jambo's, decided to take the scenic route home through Headly and past Box Hill. Being nice and sensible following a car through a village, I look ahead to see a wider car squeezing into the hedge to let us through, I look back to the car infront to realise it's a lot closer than it was before. My brain kicks in and decides to grab a handful of front brake . When the **** end of the bike reached 12oclock i decided it best to throw myself at the road. While laying their recovering my breath, i realise that i have broken my colar bone.... oh well, another 6 weeks of summer i have to miss!!!

I haven't seen the bike as its been recovered to an insurers, just remember seeing the screen in pieces all over the road.

Many thanks to Sammy and Jambo, for keeping me company in the hospital and stopping me from going insane.

Off to go cancel my track day

but i will try and make it to watch everyone.

Rigor,

ps. i may not qualify for the wonky knee gang, but i might have to start a new gang for the wobbly shoulder gang

Bummer!

Having broken my collar bone about 3 weeks ago I sympathise! Pm me if you want to talk about the injury in any way.

I hope you and the bike get back on the road soon!

I'm just glad you're ok, and it really wasn't any problem sitting at hospital with you.

Thanks to Jambo for giving me a lift up there as i was not in the right state of mind to ride myself.

Hoping you get better soon.

Now i hope you have learnt this time.... and don't go doing it again Mr!!!!!

Oh balls!

Sorry to hear this mate, hope its not too painful.

Ooh yah. Heal quick!

jambo · 24-07-06, 03:36 PM

Already covered but just glad you're ok. Bike's far less improtant than life & limb!

1) Will people stop Saying SV brakes suck, clearly if you can loop over the front wheel they can't be that bad

2) Will you *please* pick an A&E unit with a working coffee machine next time...

Jesus !!

Glad to hear you're (pretty much) ok though

With hindsight, do you think that another option might have been better ?

That is, to flick the front wheel up & ride OVER the car in front ??

Hope you heal quickly mate
