Hey guys, I'm still kicking

I'm just glad I came out of it with just a broken collarbone, coulda been a lot worse!

Think I shall invest in a braking and cornering course before hitting the mountains again.

Expensive and painful lesson learnt! Was still working out the corners and that one just decieved me I guess, hit it a little too fast for my ability and panicced and hit the brakes, if it was a 2 lane it woulda been fine, but alas theres a metre sloped embankment between the lanes and i went for a bit of a fly and bounce.

Bike landed on the front wheel then cartwheeled forwards bucking me off forwards flipping me over.

The bike looks okay and is rideable, but im a lil concerned about the forks or frame bending. How can i get this checked out? Also what about replacement fairings? Where can you get them? Wreckers or new? The left side looks repairable no probs but the right is pretty scarred.

Much relieved to see your ok Mate & even more so too see you have the right Attitude. I dropped my first bike 13 times before i wrote the poor thing off, but my attitude was "Farked" n i was nearly legally blind. Thanks to All organ donors for my new Cornea.
Hang in there mate n we ll see you out n about soon,
Cheers Brett

Hey chicken you really did a job on the poor little zx2r hope you mend soon.Try the jap import wreckers at moss street slacks creek for fairings they shouldn't be hard to find.

Could try this bloke too he is at shailer park and if he doesnt have it he will find it http://www.aussiemotorcyclespares.com.au/

Hope you are out and about soon.

Jeez Chikin, you sure did a number on her.

Just out of interest, it seems from the link here that you were wearing a DriRider vented jacket ? How did it (and more importantly you underneath / inside it) hold up ?

Mend well and I hope you're back on two wheels in no time.

Apart from my collarbone breaking I held up very well, it didnt tear all the way thru, just the first mesh layer. Theres a few scuff marks on the solid material on the shoulder and I have a small friction burn the top of my arm. So that plus the small graze on the knee im fine plus a few small bruises.

Good to hear and thanks for the info on the jacket.
