Bugger.. :(

Well, I'm alive.. Might have a fractured bone in my shoulder, but the doc said he couldn't do anything for that anyway except give me more drugs.. Mmm.. Magic whistle... :D

Mainly muscle injuries. Bike has: bent rear brake lever, dinged up headlight, dinged up exhaust, scuffed front brake lever, scratches on ducktail. I think I got off lightly all things considered.

Don't forget to wear your gear! I went through the leathers at the knees, and still managed to draw blood on the bitumen.
:shock:

As for me coming off, it was my fault entirely. I'd just gone past JimmyTheHuman and had a quick squirt going through Pakenham Upper. I'd slowed down a bit, and was looking behind me to see where he was. Turned back forwards again, and the corner was a little closer than I expected. Tipped it in hard, which would have been OK, but I hadn't scrubbed that far over on the new front tyre, and it started to slip. Even that would have been OK, but then I hit the gravel still on the side of the road after the re-surfacing, and it was all over (and over and over and over :lol: )

I've had a closer look at the gear this morning. The Alpinestars textile jacket didn't actually tear on the shoulder where I lost skin, so I dunno what happened there. The helmet is still farked, I went through the carbon fibre knuckles on the gloves as well. The boots have a small chunk taken out of the toe.

Thanks to FoxyZX6R for taking the call to come and get me and the bike at 730am. :oops:

Mate, that sucks. Sorry to hear that Macca. Glad not too much damge to either you or the bike. :(

But look on the bright side. Both you and foxy have had yr spills and can now get on with enjoying your bikes. Statistically you should be safe now! :) Gis a yell if you need a hand!

Doesn't sound like fun Macca but I suppose our slips & drops teach us a lesson for future riding. Least you've got Marranda to pamper you.. :D

Cheers everyone..

Strika - There's more damage to me than the bike, but I don't cost money to repair.. ;) I told Marranda that I only came off to pay her back from when I had to go to ED to pick her up. :D I've left my gift to the Road Gods, so I should be safe for a while.

Gig - I've learnt real good. Coming off on the bitumen hurts a shitload more than coming off on the dirt. :(

PhotoMike - Should be easy to fix (only really cosmetic). Might take me a while to get better though. :(

Circlework - The Doc said "just take it easy". There's nothing he can do except give me pain relief, unless I want a full upper body cast. (Might be good for sympathy at work, but that's about it!) Apparently it'll heal ok if I take it easy.

Neka - I still plan on being at HG, even if I have to get Marranda to pillion me down! :D As for the pain relief, I'm getting stuck into my liquid relief - Jimmy Black. :)

Les - You better believe it - I'm on all sorts of pills, and with the liquid pain relief, it's all wonderful..

Javaman - No more organised Netrider rides for me. I think I'll stick to the PM & MSN'd rides.

Kishy - Yeah, shouldn't take much to panel beat it back to fairly straight. I'll tell Jimmy you said Hi..

Lainie - Thanks. It could have been a whole lot worse. Hooray for naked bikes - If I had fairings I'd probably have to streetfighter it.. :D
