Buhbie.... - BennyBoy - 30-10-12
Got pictures from the death of my last fazer a few months ago... Thankfully, everyone was ok and I have a new one now - a year younger with a few thousand miles less on the clock.
Could have been so much worse!
Re: Buhbie.... - Lazarus - 30-10-12

I take it the dent in the windscreen was your helmet?

£16:50 with a wine? not a bad price
Re: Buhbie.... - BennyBoy - 30-10-12
@ghostbiker.. yeah, Ital is a good resturant.. check it out if ever in bradford.
@Lazarus... yeah, that was the helmet... HJC CS-R1.. not a scratch on it... perfect to use again
...or keep on a shelf and replace with the exact same again! Very glad I'm ok too... was only a few nches from big trouble..

Looks like a SMIDSY...
Re: Buhbie.... - fireblake - 31-10-12
Jeez, was the Corsa doing a U-turn? You are so lucky my friend,a little bit either way and it could have been so much worse, as you probably know?
All the best, Mickey

Nurses? £16.50 with wine.................... no wonder you swerved into some dozy bint doing a u-turn.
Re: Buhbie.... - BennyBoy - 31-10-12
Haha... said "dozy bint" is actually a friend of mine. She was swinging out to do a u-turn and didn't see me coming in her wing mirrors.
Erm... Long and short.. just set out. has only been on the road for 200-300 yards.. only 100 on that particular street. Was only doing 20ish and was in 2nd. Skid marks were less than 2 metres long. did a dead stop into the drivers door... hurt like a sunofabitch!
3 days in Bradford hospital - the staff are incredible there! they really care for you
Got 1625 for the fizzer and the damage claim is ongoing.
Took a week of work and am now slightly lop-sided with my left shoulder about an inch lower than the right. Also small self-healing puncture in lung. 12 weeks physio (top bloke). Got Andrew Campbell and Hywel Evans of Bikelawyer handling it... Can't recommend them enough - they're a fantastic pair of lads to work wwith and REALLY care.
Driver got off with an awareness course because i didnt prosecute... Police said it was an illegal u-turn and dangerous driving, but its very much lesson learned and punishing her criminally wouldn't have done anything other than hurt her more financially and emotionally... and like I said, we're friends... s**t happens sometimes and you can bet your ass it wont happen again.
Funnily enough.. the replacement fazer is the one I am referring to in my other thread bitching about the RAC!
Re: Buhbie.... - slappy - 31-10-12
with friends like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Buhbie.... - BennyBoy - 31-10-12
...Who needs helmets...? ;P
Re: Buhbie.... - slappy - 31-10-12
If police say it was dangerous and illegal,and you were hurt enough to be hospitalised, don`t they automatically prosecute?
Its good that you can forgive your friend but the consequences could have been a lot worse.
Re: Buhbie.... - locksmith - 01-11-12
Thats a 20 mph shunt. Imagine what a faster shunt would look like (both you and the bike), so why do twonks ride faster through town?
Re: Buhbie.... - fireblake - 01-11-12
Unbelievable, makes you think about just going to the shops without the gear. A friend in Greece never wears a helmet on his CBR 6,I'll send him a link to these pictures.

Re: Buhbie.... - BennyBoy - 01-11-12
Well - if it saves a life
Re: Buhbie.... - Tori - 02-11-12
20mph?!
Re: Buhbie.... - BennyBoy - 02-11-12
Yup.. 20.
Problem was it was a very sudden dead stop, so there wasnt much decelleration going on. Police said the skid mark from my tyres was less than the length of a car
This makes the impact was somewhat different to a 40 down to 20 and still slowing type impact.
Re: Buhbie.... - Lazarus - 02-11-12
skidmark on the road was probably shorter than the one in yer pants!! :lol :lol
