Skygods Off.

[SkyGod]

3 weeks ago now, filtering through traffic in North London a car strays over white line and the front of his car hit my engine bars and casing. I went over handle bars.
His car was a right off the 1200 is getting repaired.
I walked away with a few bruises and some ripped Rallye trousers.
I`m convinced that on any other bike I would have lost my leg at least.
The engine bars where forced into the engine casing.
Lost my bottle for a bit so wont be riding till I find it again ( and get the bike back)
Go steady the rest of you.

glad to here you're ok

 

[ROLLINSDAN]

Sorry to hear that chief, looks like the Rallye trousers did the job for you

When you find your feet again I'll have to take a ride out over the hill to you!

Take care,
Dan

 

[Rob Farmer]

Glad to hear you are ok Gary. Looks like the Peak district falling off practice stood you in good stead

You're catching up with Tuned. he does more miles on his arse than he does on the bike...eh Tuned

 

[(RIP) Jamie]

Give us a tinkle or PM when you're better and the bike is back - and we'll go for a nice ride in God's riding country - tarmac only though, you nutter

Seriously

 

[power2learn]

Glad you're OK Gary. Your bottle will be back (probably shortly after your bike)!

T>

 

[MrIFan]

Bugger, bad news about the bike mate but at least your ok

As soon as you get it back we'll have to have a day off road to get you back into it. Bit like falling off a horse, you need to get back on asap or you just end up dwelling on it and never doing it.

Giz a bell next time your up home

It's always a worry when we hear about one of you simple lot from the countryside coming into London to ride.....it's only a matter of time!

Seriously though, glad yer OK Gary......London can be a very dodgy place to ride and it sounds like you got away with it lightly

 

[Packer]

I went over handle bars.

Shame you couldn't fly straight through his screen (without getting injured yourself naturally) and headbut the ar****le in the face with a nice safe helmet.

He may have learned to look where he was going then. Better still he may have been rendered incapable of ever driving again.

Your bottle will probably be found as soon as the sun comes out and prior to your bike being fixed.

 

[SkyGod]

Cheers lads, I`m sure I`ll find the bottle again when I lay eyes on my bike.

Up next weekend Ian so I`ll pop in the stags.

 

[STUBBS]

when the suns out and the bikes fixed youll know when its right

Sorry to hear this Gary hope you're ok. Been out on the DRZ today -great fun and amazing what it'll do with me hanging on for grim death. Lot easier to pick up than a 12 tho'

So am i right in thinking sky, because you spend so much time looking up into it and god, wot the fvck happened. Glad your oreight.

 

[SkyGod]

Spent 2 hours going 9 miles in the cage today in that London so I think my bottle will return soon.

 

[Dee Tee]

Have you found your Bottle yet ? If not,i can get as many as you want from our Dairy !!

Seriously,Glad you were not too badly Crocked.You may surprise yourself with getting back on 2 wheels.Some time ago,i got Punted off my C90 coming home from Work.13 Weeks off with Broken left ankle.Got mobile 2 days before going to the TT.In July the same year,I Binned a ZX9R and broke my Collar bone.2 days after this,i lost the Best Mate i ever had ,in a crash on the Island.I was off for 4 weeks while the collar bone mended,during which time,the 9R was repaired.I thought long and hard about Biking as a result of my 2 crashes and the one that took Barry.I could not face riding the repaired 9R,but Traded it in for a Replacement.I am still riding.

Bottom line is,EVERYONE will be offering Support,but you need to feel OK,so go out on your own or with a Mate,go somewhere familiar,go at your own pace,and build from there.Best of luck Mate !
