Poorly RSV4

Post by kingfixer »

overall I don't think the bike is hat bad, just needs a clean and a complete set of fairings, new crash bung etc, don't know if the clip on needs replacing or its just moved, looks like it may need replacing tbh. haven't seen her n the flesh yet.

Ouch. Looks like it took it well though. All the really expensive bits look ok.
How's the shoulder?

It looks like the bike got off better than you did.

Why is a bloke with a dodgy tache touching your bike?

looks like it escaped fairly well, hoping the muck on the swinging arm isn't hiding anything more serious and it is just fairings mate,
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

Still looks good, even with the damage!

How are you doing and how did the accident happen?

I’m guessing he is removing the parts he wants to fit to his own RSV4.

Still very sore and doped up on cocodomol, still can't figure out what happened as I wasn't going fast just getting used to the bike which frankie will vouch for as he went past me . Slowing down for the loop as I have done loads of times , just started to tip it in then next thing I knew BANG and I was down tumbling along the track, I saw a couple of bikes take avoiding action as I tumbled round, luckily one was an instructor and stopped to help.
I have an appointment for the fracture clinic next week, in which I'm going to try and have it pinned/plated as I can't see how it will mend with the bones where they are.
Strange one, maybe as I was on slicks, they may have been a bit cold but had them on warmers and it was the 2nd or 3rd lap so they must have been warm enough ???
Just gutted as I'm now missing Almeria now ;(

new clipon i think and maybe switches for the left side. from what i remember. I saw the bike cart wheel in the grass so i think bike wise you got a way lucky as i think it looked straight from a quick visual.

The track was pretty cold my tyres slid in the first session. They had warmers on but i was not riding hard enough to generate heat in them. I put my hand on the back tyre when i pulled in and they were cooler than they were when i went out.

Im gutted for you bones and bikes will fix and heal :-)
"80mph" sorry officer I possibly could not have done that I'm no Valentino Rossi.

I would get that collarbone plated as soon as you can Mick. As you say the only solution to the problem really.

Pain goes and I was driving the next day. Shouldn't have been officially, but I was fine so cracked on.

Hope your sorted soon an speedy recovery.
