Thread: Motorbike Misadventures.

Number 3 (6 days after number 2): Back on the 400 while 750 is in hospital, coming round a bend on on a t-junction, late at night and tipsy. Big water truck cleaning the roads. Thai guys think it's funny to open fire the cannon on my and blast me off my bike. 8 of them standing laughing at me. Livid is not the word, picked up my bike and marched half way over to them before counting 8 guys, still laughing. Thought better of it, launched a tyrade of abuse at them before turning back to my bike and going home for a sulk. Paint damage and more scars.

Dirk D - do you think maybe you should pack it in ? Perhaps Him upstairs is trying to tell you something ?

learn to ride. I have had no wreaks.

ahh so thats you is it socal? wasnt this one of your first posts on td?

I just put these down to misfortune really. I'm sure even the most unscathed biker in LOS will not deny the amount of near misses they have driving their bikes here. Good brakes are essential, and keep your thumb ready at the horn. I've lost many friends to motorbikes, but I'll never give it up as long as I'm able.

Yes a nice bike when sitting next to the Sabre. But in the real world with proper bikes it is pig ugly and handles like an elephant on skates.

Ignorant prick.

I have the traditional Thai tattoo on my right calf. Those exhaust pipes do get very hot.

Sorry it hurts

A crapshoot on a good day. Just go slow, and hope for the best

Something like 200 - 300 stitches.. 7 operations.. 2 plastic surgeries and 2 years on crutches.. I'll spare you the photos but they nearly amputated the leg twice over a 6 month period, couldnt get a MRSA bone infection under control.

Add in pins in the knee at 15.. multiple fractured wrists (think 6 times in my growing up).. A plated collar bone..

Dirtbikes.. And always being dumb enough to bite at any 'double dare'

Within the gated community, borrowed my father in law's small motorcycle to get some beer from 7 eleven. Learned the hard way that the exhaust pipe is hot.

Wow....makes my poxy little scars pale in significance! That sounds painful, glad you spared the photo's! Anyway, I've posted this before but I thought it might be fitting on this thread:

no scars,been riding since 1967,just A couple muffler burns

40 years riding never been down the road while i have been in control.Been tossed down the road about 4-5 times sitting on the back being the pillion

broke my wrists twice{no fun,my mum had to wipe my butt for 3 weeks]my elbow once,4 ribs and half scalped myself[helmet came off before i hit the road]and swollen testicles[the worst of the lot]all on my fizzy.never had a scrape on big bikes yet.

As I get older I have taught myself how to ride in the zone, too many numerous injuries to quote. Riding Motorcross for 31 years has put the fear of god into me to the point where I almost never get on the hard ball. If the dirt can hurt you that bad I can only imagine what a head on with another vehicle will do or T-boned by some drunken lorry driver. Scary!

about 1980, bought a Honda XR500 trailbike, wheelstanding on newly-sealed road -
over the back and down the road on my bum, ripped pockets out of my jeans, severe buttock gravel rash.
At the hospital it was like the cowboy movies when they remove shotgun pellets . . . nurse with tweezers removing little stones/grit.
Cost me a week off work, trips to get dressings changed.
And some embarrassment

So that's how you became a pain in the ass!

i think I've heard every variation on that line . . .

as I couldn't ride the bike to the hospital I had to take a bus about 7km across town. I'd be the only one standing up

later bought a Suzuki PE400 2-stroke enduro/trailbike, absolute deathwish that bike had for me went off the back numerous times too much power out of the corners

more recently some wheelstand blues - no accident, but wrecked the speedo drive in my Triumph sportsbike, too many hard landings shattered the magnets inside

***********

Feb 2008 I had my first accident involving another vehicle in 30yrs riding; car swung out from a parking space hoping to do a quick u-turn and hadn't seen me (daytime, twin headlights on, fluoro vest over my jacket) hit back of the bike. Knocked out from impact (fullface helmet saved my pretty face), elbows, knee/ankle injuries had one leg caught under bike as we slid down the road.
Vehicle traveling behind me had a paramedic from the Wellington (NZ) helicopter rescue trust inside. How lucky is that.
Ambulance, hospital.

Yes, the memories of pain! I hit a kid head on at the age of 14. Pushed the wreck home on to get a ass beating from my father for not wearing all the fancy gear he bought me. Bike sat till the next birthday from which I begged th family to give me cash so I could fix it only to destoroy it again. Utimately ending up at the hospital and a consecutive ass beating. Funny how pain works

I am a good rider ( 30 yrs ) but when you meet 2 great looking Thai ladies coming the wrong way without lights no matter how good you are your screwed.
