Just been run over..

hey kurt,

that's a f*ckin' damn shame about the HP2 
really sorry to hear that man. thankfully she just took out your bike and not your life! if you think of it that way, you're a lucky man. you live to ride again brother... [moto]

you know for that price you could afford to buy 2 boxer's...

that time might coincide with the end of my workshop so i'll keep you posted. thanks for the rental info... i'd rather be on a beemer than a harley though!

[Fresh Pants]

Heal up man. Crappy situation, but glad you're okay.
Now I won't make as much fun of those BMr cylinder heads.

[DesmoDiva]

Holy NuTTs!!

Can't believe I missed this earlier.  Hope your healing up well. 

Arnica (herb) works great for sore muscles, you should be able to find it at your local pharmacy.

Your bike can be replaced, you can't.   

[Ash]

that's lame, man...i know you loved the bike.

any way you could import one from another locale??

[DucHockey]

That sucks, man.  Best wishes on a speedy recovery.

Hey Russ,
check out Iberian Moto Tours to rent BMWs.. otherwise there are some firms that rent Harleys. Hertz rents BMW motorbikes. I'll be on a track day in Alcarras, Lerida (about 1 - 1.5 hours from Barcelona) on 25th October on a trackday. If you're here around that time we'll definately meet up!

I've just had a look at the bike today and taken some pics.. those cylinders saved my legs, no doubt about it. The impact has crushed both CF valve covers (they are over 1cm thick CF) and the valvetrain is most probably kaput.

I think I'll probably get another boxer twin.

HP2 Sport are very scarce as it is and the next free unit is available for January 2009. Fuk that! I'm so angry right now, this lady hasn't just caused me pain, injuries, stress, more marital grief, a shagged brand new Arai RX7, destroyed jeans, sneaks and leather jacket.. oh no, she's destroyed one of 3 known HP2 Sport in Spain.

I'm glad I don't tend to do bad things to people, although I am tempted right now 

I may just cut my losses and buy a Vespa 

Buy it back from the insurance and get it fixed.  You should still have money left over and you can turn it into a track bike.

[NuTTs]

The left and right cylinder valvetrain is affected, they haven't taken anything apart yet until they get the go ahead from the insurance co. that they'll be paying for the labor charges...

So far its:

left & right cylinder heads and CF covers
telelever system (it's bent and raked out)
front shock - ohlins
whole front end CF assembly (5000-6000 dollars)
front wheel
front suspension slider tubes
gas tank unit
right clip on
rear wheel
shaft drive makes noises

and much more to come 

We're trying to find a good, positive solution to this. And we will.

Thanks, I'll pop into the pharmacy and see if they have any.

How did you get sandwiched?  Did she T-bone you?

[NuTTs]

How did you get sandwiched?  Did she T-bone you?

The mini driver crossed a 4 lane, one way street to park on the other side of the road but trying not to go a block further up.. or going around the block to get to where she had to be. At lunchtime rush hour.

Her mini rammed the left cylinder head of my HP2 and this pushed me into the side of a parked 3 series BMW. The cylinders basically kept the force of the mini from crushing my legs. Fuk knows why she crossed the road so fast. She was on the other side of the road one second and the next I was mid flight. I landed on my head and knees.

This crude illustration with X marking around where she was before she did a GP start to the other side of the road.
