What is it with wrists these days?

[dave#3]

yep, those lightweight jobbies are the biz, my full cast was about half the weight of the plaster half-cast.

Don't tease, I'd give my left nut for a lightweight fibreglass cast

check out my missus' lightweight f/glass cast in the other thread
she was quite happy as it protected and was light....very light
can be gotten wet but expensive....

cheers

[Ratmick]

Thanks all - I appreciate it.

...so it's too late to see if I can get that rack back???

Just kidding mate, good to see you're ok, even if the bike has had the richard and your wrist isn't good for much atm...

Take it easy, let me know what I need to do to write mine off...!

ps> If you check the piccie below you'll see the rack in an unbent state

[ty]

yep life's over for the rack...
Hopefully from what Dave's said I'll hear from the shop soon.

Hope you get what you want from the Insurance quote (zx9 )

Cheers,
Russell.

[mrmina]

[ty]

Stay away from me people I'm bad luck atm.

[Russell]

Looking for a bright side - Don't they say things come in threes?
Body, bike & car... The crap should be all done now.

Fingers crossed!

Russell.

Hey Ty, maybe some good news - my bike got written off today with all major fairings intact, and your's sounds much worse than mine, so the 9r should be coming your way soon

[ty]

Can hope so.
Just spoke to Noel and he's still waiting on prices for parts to put his quote together - so he doesn't know yet.
Yours had a bent frame though didn't it? not sure if mine does.
I'll post some pics on the weekend.

So when are you going shopping? ie when's the cast off?
ty

[dave#3]

Yes, the frame was bent, but the fairings were pretty much unscathed ... wait and see I guess.

My cast actually came off on Wednesday but I'm in a sling for another couple of weeks yet.

Fingers crossed your's is written off too

[frozzie]

Yep, 'bout the only benefit we get over here

and bus lanes, we can use them too.......

Bus lane, transit lane ... same same but different

The only lanes forbiden in NSW are the Bus Only lanes coz that's what they're for. Still can't park on pavements

Get well TY, sorry for the bike, but then again if its a w/o, you'll be laughing. Hope it all goes your way.

Here's a few tips from when I used to be a courier in Paris and lane splitting or bus lane hopping:

Use your headlights ie: flash high beam low beam, every now and then beep the horn.
Pray and change undies every day!!

Some pics I got b4 the bike got picked up.
It's hard to see but the rear fairing is damaged from the rack too.

[dave#3]

Fark ty,

How bad is left side of the bike ? I can't believe how flat the rack is

[ty]

left side's not too bad. It had stopped sliding before it dropped and the crash did its job mostly.
Fairing's a little bit scratched and the exhaust too
