Ducati Monster Forum

so... i had my first riding acco (on a public road).
basically parramatta rd, busy arvo and car pulled into my lane.  ;D
short braking distance and a slimy surface (those who know the croydon section of parra rd know what i mean) made for avoiding the back of a car (which for some reason came to a complete stop in my lane??), ended in dropping the bike and rolling out type stack. Unfortunately also equaled a broken shoulder blade and  bruised ego.  [thumbsup]
no one to blame but myself, no other cars hit or made contact with. just not good enough in a tough situation. bike rides, minor damage and ill be back in 8 to 10 weeks.
sucks having to do everything with my left hand and the pain....  ;D ;D

just thought id share and ask others to take care & wear your gear.

Ouch man  :(  Dont be too hard on yourself though.... its a difficult task thinking for THEM as well as yourself.  Speedy recovery mate  [beer].

Not good to hear Chris.
Hope you heal quickly, I do not like those kind of conditions when riding or driving for that matter.
Why is it though that people just don't look what is going on outside there bubble.
I have waived my hands at a few cagers lately talking or texting.

Sorry to hear that mate!

In this case im in the same situation, Only i came out with 2 cracked ribs and a dinged up bike!

I hope you have a speedy recovery!

~Marty

cheers gang! just being realistic, but suprisingly up beat, despite these mule like drugs they gave me! :D

A war zone out there with them firing missiles.Watch your back !

Exactly ... the incompetence of others does not lessen your own level of competence.

Heal fast and heal well mate ... and don't let the bastards get you down (or enjoy the drugs).

But to look on the bright side peoples ... 'the cursed one' (she of the serial killer reputation) will be back home soon so we should all be safe now.




Heather it is good to have someone else to blame when things seem stacked against you/us ... I am sure you will take this in the manner it was intended :-*

Permission to Swear Chris?
Hope the injuries heal quick.

I must say two this week really hurts the confidence in Sydney Traffic. Getting bad butterflies just thinking about it.

geez Chris, glad to hear you're relatively OK. Scary shit going down on Parra Rd.

Heal well fella, and let us know if you need anything

Owww.  That's awful.  I broke my shoulder last year playing footy, and it took ages to heal up properly.  Take it really easy, rest up and get better.

Ohhh my Chris I think I have to come down to Sydney and look after you. Sorry to here about your prang. Heather go home will ya your hurting all my guys. You know an organ is easier than a broken bone. You can recover quicker :-* :-* :-*

  Is your Brain classed as an Organ? ;D ;
  Beacause i will be it big trouble if it isn't  [roll]
 

MMM' Drugs ;D ;D
Tell the Doctor you feel suicidal after getting your bike damaged
And the drugs come from the top shelf ;D

Speedy recovery mate ;)

Chris .......really sorry to hear that, mate. most importantly you're injured and not a statistic in a worst case scenario
speedy recovery, mate

damn! sorry to hear mate!

I did a similar thing years ago. Lady that pulled out in front got charged because an off duty cop following saw it,
even tho there was no contact with her car.

Sorry to hear this Chris.  Hope you heal quickly and enjoy the drugs.

As for the rest of you - Please park your bikes in the shed and do not under any circumstances ride until after Monday (that's when I'm leaving.)  [cheeky]

Monstro did come to my defence though and pointed out that he and a few others have ridden plenty with me lots and not come to grief - so maybe it's not me.  ???

I've just realised it was full moon round this time too. Maybe that's more to blame than me.  [roll]

Has anyone else noticed the queenslanders have suddenly gone all quiet?

 It's all Heather fault [roll] ;D

I think you're all picking on me.  :'(

Hey Chris,

Prangs suck!  Heal up soon and quick mate.   [thumbsup] 

Hey now guys better stop picking on Heather, she's a nice girl :-*
Its all circumstantial.
And you can only push a serial killer so far before they snap.
and it will be all over for you lot [evil]

thanks guys!! [thumbsup]
yeah, i'm glad im hear to tell the story. Thinking back not so sure what i could have done different, maybe not roll into the fall? either way its all good. certainly plan lots of rest and no riding/driving/....ing of any sort that might agro it.

how bout we all blame it on
- the boogie
- the rain that was fallin
- the moon
- cagers
- global inequality
- oil spills
- change, yes we can
- tigers mistress's
- gold caskets
- che's hand in the taking of cuba
- gobal warming
- the great taste of chips in the bottom of the bag at macas
- chipmunks
- fashion tv playing on someones headrest tv's during traffic (oops cat out the bag)
- tim minchins rendition of canvas bags

OR

- a sence of hindden complasensy in the chorus to let it be?
























:D, yep those drugs are workin well...

ok i will stop picking on you heather, sorry if i went abit too far.

Yeah Heather, you're a good sort.  I reckon the queenslanders were probably asking for it  [evil]

Hi Chris, what a shock. Hope the drugs are treating you well. Glad it wasn't worse, although sounds bad enough.  :-[ get well soon!  :-*

Heather, I am more than sure it is not your fault. Quite a few things happened at once lately. A few new enrolments, more female enrolments, a few cheques written to Mr Plod, a few accidents. It's been a crazy couple of months at the DMF.

Chris, hope you have a speedy recovery.

It certainly has ... unprecedented I would say.

agreed, it has been busy! what crazy week ended with some unreal motoGp racing! thanks for all the support folks, its not unnoticed!

Get well soon Chris. Many of us know how it feels   :(
Some of the lucky ones know how the drugs feel  :)

I hate Parramatta road. It's a basket case at the best of time and when its wet .... well it can all go wrong.

Good luck with the recovery.
