my blue and silver, a little worse for wear - Skidmarx - 27-02-2011
hi guys, im back
after buying my first busa only a tad over a month ago, iv fallin in love with the "fat girl" and have found it to be quite an enjoyable ride, until 2 weeks ago wen it went horribly wrong, bunch of us heading up the highway to a local beach for a bbq and beers, we werent even 5 mins out of town wen i went down, i have been in hospital for the last 2 weeks having my mass amounts of road rash sorted out, aswell as a shoulder reconstruction with a couple of extra screws to hold it all together, and i hadnt seen the bike until i went and picked it up today, i have a few pics for u all to gawk at

Dude that sux, but what weren't you wearing?????
RE: my blue and silver, a little worse for wear - Skidmarx - 27-02-2011
Yea, very painfull still, but at the end of the day i have no one to blame but myself
Well, i was wearing my new (now trashed) rjays lid, tshirt, cotton drill work pants and steel capped boots, i posted a thread looking for suppliers of all the riding gear the night before the accident lol, my own silly fault
Remember, wear your leathers lol
RE: my blue and silver, a little worse for wear - Pommie - 27-02-2011
Do you know why it went down ???
RE: my blue and silver, a little worse for wear - Heidi1 - 27-02-2011
Oh you poor bugger, I remember you asking for leather gear suppliers. Heal well. Is she fixable?
RE: my blue and silver, a little worse for wear - BikerBoy - 27-02-2011
OUCH!! Hope you heal up quickly and get back to your normal self.
RE: my blue and silver, a little worse for wear - Skidmarx - 27-02-2011
Well, i was sitting on around 140, and the front just washed out, not exaclty sure what happened, wasnt turning or pulling the front up
Very fixable, mostly cosmetic plus the muzzy can, and rh peg
RE: my blue and silver, a little worse for wear - BEAU - 27-02-2011
Wow, 140 in that get- up's a brave move. Heal up, get some leather and fix the girl up and get back into it.
Not knowing what caused you to stack is the worst bit, you can't learn from it, change what you did wrong, so you won't do it again...
RE: my blue and silver, a little worse for wear - LOAFIE - 27-02-2011
Hope you heal quickly mate.....I remember your previous thread, if still looking for leathers we have Irena who sells leathers to order at

You picked your name well , Skidmarx , Look's like you had your stubbie's & brickie's singlet on . Hope you've got a good bum wiper tee'd up for a couple of week's ( not volunteering ).Hope you heal Quick & get back on the road.Got a fair idea how you feel , came off a beeza in the 60's, when
a Blue brickie's singlet was a perfectly acceptable piece of protective gear ( we were all riding around pissed anyway ,just like our parent's) So nothing Hurt . Hang in there mate & All the best .
RE: my blue and silver, a little worse for wear - Skidmarx - 27-02-2011
Lol, ya well i wont be getting back on anything without the appropriate gear from now on, iv learnt my lesson, and its great to see that my riding buddies have learnt from my mistakes aswell, saw a few of them wearing all there gear while visiting today
The only thing that i can think off that may or may not have had anything to do with the accident, is the roads were still a little damp from rain the night before, and running yukkie shinko's front and rear, one of the last changes to the bike before its back on the road is going to be a pair of pilot pures
Yep my poor misses has had to do the dirty work a couple of times over the last couple of weeks, but im very happy to anounce that i can whipe my own backside again, allbeit only with my left, but still great improvement lol
The 12 weeks off work is going to suck, going insane already
RE: my blue and silver, a little worse for wear - Macbusa - 27-02-2011
mate,
that looks bloody sore and you got a couple of months of being uncomfortable ..... this just enforces my belief in riding gear. Good to hear you have learnt your lesson.. a lesson i think you unfortunately learnt the most hardest way possible.
Hope you recover quickly, and for your sake, check out riding gear before you ride next.
Keep us informed of how you are going along... Looks like the busa can out of it ok as well.
RE: my blue and silver, a little worse for wear - Skidmarx - 27-02-2011
Yes, id flicked off a couple of emails reguarding riding gear the night before the stack, iv just been going through them and sending off some replys,
The bike came out ok considering, it could have been alot worse, and vid proof that it still runs great
