[09Fatboy]

not good , the main thing is you walked away ok so to speak and were'nt seriously injured

[Ward P]

I feel your pain! life is full of "if onlys" try not to dwell on it, hope you don't hurt too much tomorrow, and hope the bike works out OK.

[bigfoot]

wow bad luck buddy glad to hear your not to hurt thank god for insurance companies!!

[BLACKZOOK]

Sorry to hear about your off mate Women should be banned from the road and chained to the sink where god intended.

Its all about payback for the apple.

Hang on, what was I thinking. I LOVE women and think they should be president. Actually, women are the centre of my universe, I have turned gay in celebration of women because I suck.

I'm sorry for my previous comments and are going to the sink now to do the washing up. I am a duffer. Feel free to throw rocks at me.

Point proven -the chain must have been too long and allowed Heidi to reach the key board.

Ritual beating imminent.

Get back to the sink ARSEGASKET!

[GRUNTMAX]

Leonard is correct,
You were proceeding in the left lane @ the legal speed limit, you were not overtaking, just passing the stupid bitch that was probabley stoned out of her brain on valium. The stupid cow could have terminated your existance. If she's not a stupid cow or a stupid bitch, what is she ?
No chance of her getting a speeding fine, but she'll kill a bunch of people in the process. Oh well, if they write it off, there's ya stroker motor.
Hope ya heal up OK

Leonard.

That is exactly as it happened Leonard.
If I had hit the gas to go inside or outside, I would have been past her.
The police took the statement and judging by the scene they could see that there was no speed involved. - More a lack of it!!!

I now have a black toe and a darkening middrift.
Coughing and farting are out of the question.
As is my pending selection for the Socceroos... hu hu hu

A closer inspection of the bike has revealed the following list of damage.
Both right side fairings gone.
Nose cone fairing gone.
Right side hand brake lever and bar end gone.
Right side mirror gone.
Right side footpeg broken off at the outside end.
Right rear blinker cowling gone.
Ventura rack scratched up one side.
Right hand side Yoshi R77 muffler gone.
I think some tabs are broken off the right side inner fairing covers between the fairing and tank.
They are still in place but loose.
Bike was fine to ride the 100ks home and tracked true and smoothly.
Hopefully new bits will prevent a write off situation.

Thank you to everyone for the concern shown for my health and the bike's welfare.

be sure to check the subframe , and exhaust mounting bracket ,look around the welds and the bottom rail and the bracket itself take it off and compare with other side by laying them on a table ,might look straight at first but could be so ever slightly bend just enought to stop the oem exhausts lining up evenly (there no support stile on the bottom of the sub frame only the top). I would say your exhaust /pillion peg bracket and subframe might need replacing too.

[BUSGO]

Yep, I hear you Nigel.
The bike will be going in for proper assessment some time soon.
My visual is just a visual.

[highwaybruiser]

Faaark! Glad you're still here to tell the tale. Hope there's no dramas with your insurance claim, or the healing process.

[Heidi1]

Oh you poor bugger. What has the insurance company said? I'm glad you ended up as well as you did, bikes can be fixed. Hope you heal quickly.

[Throwdown!]

"What a male chauvanistic response, which I take offence to!!!!!

Not only do I drive a Volkswagon Golf GTi but I also drive a Nissan Patrol, am a committee member of the Nissan Patrol 4wd Club of NSW/ACT. Not only do I drive the Patrol 4wdriving (its intended purpose) but I also drive it on the road. At no point of time am I an agressive driver nor do I drive like an idiot! I have completed a defensive driver training course and also a 4wd driver training course".

[crumpy]

sorry to hear of the off Ray just glad your still with us.hopefully the busa will be as good as new soon.hope the black parts go soon ,could have been worse.(bloody motorbikes and 4x4s dont mix.talk soon).

[Missy_Moo]

Oh no!!! I just read this Ray. Was this after we parted ways yesterday? on that ride you took me on the hills? OMG... I'm so glad to hear you are reasonably ok. Do get a checkup at least, even though it was at 20k's, even after time. I always say, it wont hurt or show now, it always takes time.
Gawd, scare the crap outta me reading this on the weeny iPhone.

[BUSGO]

Yeah Missy, it was on our nice little side road that we had just enjoyed on the way north.
I didn't want to let you know till you arrived home safely.
Thanks for the advice on medication. I am normally drug free but understand the need for pain relief when necessary.
