Down the road

Sorry to hear of the damage to you and the bike, this may sound a bit left field but after breaking vertebrae in my neck and suffering chronic pain that no regular medication could releive I tried accupuncture and finally found some releif without being pilled up to the eyeballs.
Get well soon mate
Fred

Yes . Two or three half tumblers of decent scotch for the shock , a good nights sleep , and come up swinging .
Theres a pre pill popper Medical Practitioners BOOK , from centuries past ( 1860 ?? ) findable on google . All the right processes and herbs for poultices for bruises muscles and the like .Had a real copy once .
Standard wetern medical practise book for G.P.s etc . in those days . Opium & Morphine the most dareing of the presciptions , but there only for amputations or pulling teeth . :wink: Hope thats not neccesary .

Yes, perhaps that sort of avatar content isn't entirely appropriate here (personally I think most animated avatars are annoying) but what do our other members think (if members could PM me with their views rather than discuss it further in this thread)?
Any ruling regarding avatar content would of course be up to Jerry.

Sorry, the song is actually an homage to women, that happens to include the graphic reference to the fact that, "The world moves on a woman's hips, the world moves and it swivels and bops".

Anyway FA, you put together a nice coherent post a few hours after the accident so you're probably ok in that regard, but ditch the old helmet. If it took a hit hard enough to knock you out, it's probably been weakened past being safe.

Very pleased you were able to post!, heal quick, everything else comes second.....

(But wish me well in saving up for a head :wink: )

Please remember that not all our forum viewers are men (I don't think there are many mouse viewers?) and women often consider that sort of content to be objectionable and offensive, and it also appears to cause problems for those who wish to visit the site while they are at work.

Best wishes on a full and fast recovery.

My sincere apologies to you, Fullato, for hijacking the thread for other reasons and not saying right off the bat how sorry I was to hear about your accident and wishing you a speedy recovery. Same thing happened to me in 1986, 80-year old woman turning left in front of me and stopping, leaving me about 15 feet to prepare for the inevitable. Glad you're OK.

Sorry to hear about your incident Fullauto. These things happen when we least expect it. But I always am very wary when riding adjacent to a car and maybe being in their blind spot or just not being noticed.
When I had a couple of falls earlier in my riding career I remember being more concerned about the welfare of my bike than myself! :roll: Although neither of my 2 falls were particularly high speed or high impact and damage to rider and machine was fairly minor.
Get well soon and hope to see you on the next Norton ride. :wink:

Fullauto said:

Now, the important bit, the Norton. Dented tank,...

I know that it's hard to speculate about things that didn't happen, but if that had been a fiberglass tank? Fiberglass doesn't dent for beans.

Hope you're on the up real soon FullAuto and that the bike makes a speedy recovery too!

Glad you're around to ride another day

By the way, here in the U.S., the woman would have screamed back injury, 7 lawyers would have shown up, you would be at fault for following too close, and she would end up owning your business.

This is so true

Glad you are well enough to have posted a few hours after the accident, sorry about the short window of enjoyment between fettling the bike and having it taking out by a blind twit. Had a similar incident myself a year ago, I guess most of us have. Funnily enough, I was chatting about you online with a Commando & Buell owner from Kalbarri just a couple of days ago.

Ken--I've only just seen this. Sounds like you're ok, but sore. I hope she was insured, if you weren't...had you made the move before it happened , or was it a sort of going away present from Gero?

I hear that the crash report is to be written off with no fault to either party. Strange that I haven't been interviewed. So, it looks like I'm on my own with repairs as I haven't insured a bike since I was a young bloke. Still very very sore. Bike hasn't started healing itself either. I checked.

No insurance, for many years! Here in the UK no insurance is treated as a major crime,so just to add more pain i suppose you will be getting a fine as well :?: Accidents in the UK are bad things to have, Cars and motorcyle accidents,First Breath test,all docs and sometimes tow-away to compound for examination,then big fines for no insurance,tax etc ...not to mention the "old whip lash" claims..that loads up your renewal. Pus a Re-test if the plod think's you are to old or frail to drive safely.which can result in a life ban if you fail :!:
12 years ago i was T boned ,20-25mph, the old feller [80] had never passed his driving test! Goe's without saying he failed a test, never to drive again..i hope.

One morning i was driving my truck to make a collection, a car in front was being driven like the pilot was either going to sleep or drunk.
Cutting corners and driving on the wrong side for many yards,completly out of control.
I followed at a safe distance, after a short time the car turned onto the industrial estate i was going to, and pulled up.
I got out and walked over to the car, sat inside where two old people,a elderly lady was the driver , i said to her " bleedin eck love,you aint safe on the road"! the old man shouted back " Sod off ! ,this old lady is just recovering from a stroke, and it taking me to work"! Makes you think who is out there driving!

I think they do insurance slightly differently down under?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_insurance

In South Australia, Third Party Personal insurance from the Motor Accident Commission is included in the licence registration fee for people over 17. A similar scheme applies in Western Australia.

So "no insurance" doesn't literally mean Fullauto had no insurance at all, only that the bike was not insured against accident damage.
