Turbo - I was expecting it hey.. was waiting for the impact of someone else behind me
And yeah now we all know what mirkz'd hit eh? LOL
the tarmac just does it for me *rolls eyes*.
As I've said before I wish it was only myself that went down, I can deal with my bike getting fked up, I hate the fact that even though I hadn't touched you etc, you still came down.
Another lesson we've hopefully all learned from I guess... :/
Yeah... ride in FRONT of you LOL (jokes again)...
It nearly happened to me once... I was chasing this man Finnish bastard around the big round-a-bout in Bunbury about 6 years ago... He lowsided and I nearly went over the top of him... He was riding a 1200 Bandit... and he was a big guy too... Very glad I didn't ride over him.
The universe likes speed. Don't delay. Don't second guess. Don't doubt. When the opportunity is there, when the impulse is there, when the intuitive nudge from within is there, act.

Damn .. sorry to hear davey .. I hope youe shoulders not too sore and that you heal quick
Does this mean its time to add more bling to the bike
Some say he eats sidchrome for breakfast
Some say he only showers on even days of the week
Some say he put an R1 motor in a coffee machine
All we know is he's Hewie.

Jez.
Why do women have legs? Have you seen the mess snails make?
Not good to hear Davey, but whats that bit about not making the track day? bones start to knit in 5-7 days, no more shooting pain when you move, sling off and off to physio week 4, week 6 good as new, plenty of time to heal before track day. If your doctor tells you the physio is a waste of time, ignore him, takes ages to get strength back without it
shit bro, not good!
hope it's all mended (you and the bike) and you're back in the saddle soon!
glad to hear you're all good as well mirkz, what happened, how come you lowsided?
just glad to hear your both ok i know when i pick mine up i'm going to have to learn how to ride again cause the gixser is nothing like muscling the sv around
heal up fast man! and we'll see you on the road soon!
Bugger mate, so sorry to hear, hoping for a speedy recovery.

Not good news, very sorry to hear it dude.
Holla if ya need anything, anytime.
Oh, and look what i stumbled across tonight:
PSB Trackday 07? You'll be right!
Kevin Curtain took third place in this weekend's first qualifying session - only two weeks after breaking his left collar bone in four places at Donington Park. Team mate Broc Parkes struggled with his collar bone injury also, managing 11th place during the 45 minute session.
Both riders have broken collar bones - Parkes his right and Curtain his left - after crashing in practice at the previous round at Donington. Since their respective accidents both riders have undergone surgery to plate and bolt the collar bones. They have had less than two weeks recovery since the last round and have surprised everyone by the efforts they have gone to in order to race here this weekend.[/b]
You have to be careful with collarbones. Both of mine healed slightly shorter than they are supposed to be, giving me a bad hunched posture and contributing to muscle problems. Pretty much what's holding my shoulders in place is muscle instead of bone, which is bad.
So wear a figure-8 brace across your back to keep the shoulder in place, and don't rush anything. I hate to say it, but your health is more important than riding.

Very sorry to see Davey
Best of luck with the collarbone, ive seen firsthand how annoyingly painful the recovery can be, I hope it goes smoothly for you.
glad to hear you're all good as well mirkz, what happened, how come you lowsided?[/b]
No idea mate,
neither of us were pushing hard at the time, but appears my rear end has just decided it would like to slide out some without my noticing and the bike wanted a closer look at road
Some of the guys said there was a thin layer of sand across that corner... *shrugs* I dunno..
PICSORBAN!
At least it's just a collarbone, sure it hurts but it could be a shite sight worse.
Good the oggies did their job.
Sorry to hear about the off, Mirkz and Davey. Hope to see you on the road soon.
IN THRUST WE TRUST
THIS SH!T IS REAL!
Jeebuz, sorry to hear about the low side Davey and Mirkz...
Got to watch out for shit on the roads - there's been lots of fine sand on the roads near my place due to a lot of earth works and levelling and stuff going on - freaks me out going around some corners and round-abouts when feeling the rear tyre lose traction... at least in the day time you can spot the sand, at night it is obviously not as easy.
I can't think what more you could possibly need to know... except maybe this:
ouch! hope your not out of action for too long dude.
damn dude, sorry to hear
I know you have offers already, but if you need a hand, let me know
