Title: Why My Ankle and Ribs Hurt...
Post by: Xsannz on March 18, 2013, 06:34:31 pm
my 2010 r1 got written off on the way home ( feral cat mid corner @ 80-90kmh :scared into front wheel at full lean = instant dismount and dead bike :saw:) :blush

will post photos eventually = lets say woodcraft are not that great in a high side the puck ripped off and the whole arm bent and twisted the frame mount.

Vortex rearset snapped off the frame on the right hand side - left hand side untouched in crash right side looked cosmetic till they went through it.

so 4 ribs and a broken ankle later...  and insurance just shipped me an ex demo 2011 r1 registered in dec 2012 with 500km on the clock. :bow

so its sitting in the garage waiting to be tinkered with.

have already on hand

Autotune with wide band.
Flashtune interface.

all the spare factory pegs and brackets and rearsets including pillion from the old bike as i had them off when it crashed... so i am going to butcher the spare pillion pegs and use the support sections and the right little piece for the brake res.

on the bike is a set of gytr cans

on order is

pcv

m4 y pipe or mjs cant decide but want to keep stock covers so it may be the mjs one.

Sequential smoked led tailight

Evotech Tail tidy

Watsen gloss black front indicators.

Gytr frame sliders

graves smog plates.



Leathers held up pretty danm well only light scuffing no tears ... i only ended up with a smal carpet burn scratch on my elbow area and forearm.

but then they got cut off..  as i couldnt move because of the busted ribs causing me an immense amount of pain so i told the ambo office to cut them rather that try move me around to unzip them and pull them off.

they did their job...

This is why I am always amazed at the amount of people who ride in Jeans/shorts/jandals/tshirts/rain jackets etc.

My Brother had a similar accident in the UK - Wrote off a CBR600 and his leathers - riding without safety gear is bordering on suicidal

Just saw the thread dude.

That's a shame about the woodcraft and vortex gear, that stuff doesn't usually work very well in a highside, personally I replace all the high tensile bolts that brands tend to use with softer aluminium ones for this exact reason.

Good to hear you're ok dude, and looks as though you've got a nice new bike too!

definitly go shoei xr1100 and dont skimp on the leather, get a back protector too.

Risk of injury, and seriousness of said injury, while riding a motorcycle is much higher than that of driving a car. Ever wonder why ACC premiums are so much higher?

Sure you could have broken your ankle while doing any number of normal daily tasks, however the risk of this is significantly lower than it happening while riding a motorcycle.

I understand you guys like doing this whole bike thing. It makes you feel cool and all. But is the heightened risk of injury, disability or even death really worth it?

Obviously you have never loved to do anything that has a reasonable amount of risk involved mcc.

Motorcycles are inherently dangerous,alot of car drivers are complete utter fuckwits and NZs roads are pretty crap but yes it is definetly worth it.

a. Cause fuckwit drivers keep knocking mopeds and scooter riders who dont wear gear off their bikes, if you look at the stats they tell this.

b. Like rugby? more acc claims for rugby injuries than any other in NZ, even pleasure boating is more deadly than motorcycling.

c. I dont have a retort to this, so just get fucked, stop belittling our passion, from what I can tell mcc, you jerk off over womens bottoms on the internet for fun.

I've been wanting to skydive for a while.

Also I'd say motor racing is in fact FAR safer than every day driving on NZ roads.
Then again I didn't really consider rally, just the much more comparible track sport / hillclimb, etc.

Even as a proportional percentage of players to injuries? Link?

I mountain bike. Which the thread has said is apparently risky. However there are things I do to reduce risk of serious injury.

I would never road bike, as IMO there is too much potential for serious injury. I agree that car drivers do cause a lot of trouble for both motorcyclists, and cyclists with awesome legs as their motor. However this is because of the retarded mentality all NZ drivers seem to have that they own the road and its for them only.

If I could road bike with no cars, I would, as a significant proportion of the risk would be removed. Can you motorbike without cars, yes, on a track, you can also go as fast as you like. Why not save biking for the track only, reducing the risk of you getting injured by a car, or cat. Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Everyone knows roads are unsafe, yet people are more afraid of flying than driving. Its fine to have risk in your life, but mitigating it to ensure your own survival, and high quality of life, is also very important.

Nope no link, it was posted on kiwibiker as ammo for the ACC levy bullshit we went through.

Either way, unless you're an epic pussy, the sort of mountain biking you do is more dangerous than motorcycling (at least the mountain biking I do is definitely more risky than the motorcycling I do), regardless of how you "reduce risks". An animal, or human, or object could very easily block the trail in front of you giving you no time to react as a result you kark over the handle bars and break your back, or over a 40ft cliff and die.

Unless of course you wear a 3 inch iron suit lined with cotton which keeps you safe in a crash, cause otherwise motorcyclists definitely reduce risks far more than you can, the fact you don't know this only emphasises your ignorance.

But back to your original argument about being safer in a car, you honestly cannot say that simply because every collision is unique, you cannot reproduce the same parameters of a collision in order to test your hypothesis. You perceive motorcycling to be more dangerous because of what you've seen motorcycles doing, but if you tried it yourself you'd realise it's not as dangerous as you think.

Needs and wants.

Need a good helmet, want grippy tank stuff

Yesterday I picked up a nice shiny new 180/60-17 metzeler racetec K2 (K2 is the 3rd hardest) gonna fit that tomorrow and get a rear wheel back on the bike.

should have taken off your carbon hugger and other bits before letting insurance cart it away.
Im looking at geting some SMX-5's waterproof. how did you find them for ankle support when you when over. im hesitant as theyre not braced they only have  PU button over the ankle.
considering breaking the bank for some SMX-Plus waterproofs or going something like Dianese or Gaerne GPW aquatechs on the cheap.
Currently have a pair of Falcos but theyre already second hand and getting a bit worn out.

PS bounty, i went on the sneaky, theyre Chinese fairings and a tank cover. Diddnt get the tank resprayed its a plastic shell that goes over it.
il put up a new pic to show you what it looks like with the new bits.

I've never seen that on a 250, a full tank wrap, that's very cool.

Boots were fine bike landing on the ankle did me in....

I went for teknic chicane boots now better bracing.

Nice would love photos of that tank cover interesting...

How did you find the fit of the chinese fairings?

I couldn't take stuff off as they were listed on the insurance policy...

And the yard that had it before the insurance got it wouldn't let me take stuff off as I would have wanted the quickshifter and pcv and hugger....

And if I had managed to take them off no doubt the insurance would have argued black and blue and tried to get out of it.

In the end they tripped themselves up and agreed to market value wihich on their own policy was a new bike plus 5k for the listed and named accessories.

So all in all it worked out.. Not perfectly but danm close.

fitment wasnt bad, there was alot of overspray with clearcoat which isnt that much to complain about, but a day of filing down the holes and cleaning it up was a small price to pay.

however the clearcoat coverage is a bit lackluster in some places. I would buy again but not from the company i got these ones from. The place that gets the most rave reviews and seems to hav the best support and guarentee is http://www.ozzymotorcyclefairings.com.au

its already an aftermarket pipe, i care not for those laws.
Doesnt it mean the bikes over 251cc cannot be modified? seeing as its a 249cc its not applicable anyway.

good call.

I think it's a stupid law, an aftermarket slip on is going to increase the performance by bugger all, sure you save a few kilo, and sure you might get slightly better flow, but compared to the costs and overall increase in performance it's barely worth it.

You can submit a bike for lams approval if not on their list...

They use wet weight and power output.

249cc is the engine displacement but the actuall total cc is as registered is what the nzta use ....

But you may find the officer may read between grey lines....

Just make sure the pipe does not have stamped or printed on it ..... FOR RACE USE ONLYM

If it does find a wway to either polish it out or hide it.


As that's all the officer or tester can go off.

Basically any motorcycle previously allowed (I'd take that to mean slight & cosmetic modifications are also acceptable).
