shropshire 0 #1 October 9, 2009 1st ... I'm O.K .. sore arse and elbow - but otherwise unhurt .... but it could have been worse..... I was on a dual carriage way (inside lane) doing about 70 in light rain.. I saw some break lights ahead so touched my stoppers and the next thing I know i'm sliding down the road on my arse!!!. I rolled left... off the road and as I stood up an Lorry ploughed into my Sporty She's fucked. But she put a hole in the fuel tank of the lorry ... so he's fucked too. Noone hurt ... just stuff, so no biggie. I'll talk to the insurance company tomorrow . (.)Y(.)

yoink 321 #11 October 9, 2009 That's shit mate! Glad you're OK though. Could have been a hell of a lot worse on a dual carriageway with a lorry coming up behind you! Oil on the road? Metal grate? Too many beers down the pub? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hookitt 1 #14 October 9, 2009 Oh bugger! That sucks but I'm I'm glad you're ok. Man I hope the insurance favors you in this instance. Good luck. My roomie binned a Brand New Aprilia last saturday. He eventually ran out of room and put the bike into the ditch and then the side of the hill. He had to avoid an R6 that was making a nice tumble down the roadway next to it's rider ... who was also ok. I'm from the US. I use bugger and bin all the time Bin = crash not trash edit: woops bin does = trash but binned it means crashed. so I guess binned it = trashed it also Same thing :D Speaking ATGATT. I always wear all my gear. I dumped my bike 100 or so feet out of my driveway going 30 MPH. ATGATT My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...

shropshire 0 #15 October 9, 2009 Cheers.... I would cry for a month if I'd crashed a new Aprilia - was it a Millie? I always wear full m/c gear and the armour bits certainly did their job today.. My helmet isn't even sratched (don;t think that it touched down) but IU will be replacing it anyway, (.)Y(.)

hookitt 1 #16 October 9, 2009 Here's a before picture. I don't have an after. He rides for a dealer. His job is to show off bikes. BMW, and Aprilia. This was his first time out on a sponsored bike and the R6 took a tumble. My room mate is an exceptional rider and nearly didn't crash. Bike, person, and parts everywhere and he missed all if it but eventually ran out of room. I'd say the only thing he did wrong was ride slightly too close to the R6. His personalb bike is a BMW K1200S and he has no trouble staying or leading all the other sporties. Anyway, yeah dude, (california for hey mate - hehe ) I'm glad you weren't taken out by the truck. :) edit: Apparently the first attachment was invisible.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...

hookitt 1 #18 October 9, 2009 I know ya have We do actually use the word binned though At least around here. My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nataly 38 #19 October 9, 2009 Quote I know ya have We do actually use the word binned though At least around here. Really? As in "I put it in the bin" (or "what did you do with that last piece of cake.." "I binned it - it smelled foul")? Or only in relation to "crashing"? I've never heard Americans use "bin" for trash-can.. And I'm Canadian and have spent loads of time in the States.. Pretty sure most of you use "trash" or "garbage".. Anyway..

hookitt 1 #21 October 9, 2009 Mostly just crashing. I used the word bin instead of the rubbish container sometimes just because people around here don't get it.

I've got a friend in Swanwick, when we both break out the colloquialisms, we lose each other. My friend never laughed so much in his life (according to him) as the day I told him about not being able to find Lester square in London.. Probably because it's actually *spelled* Leicester!!! Really threw me at the time!! Ahh.. That brings me back!!!! I also foolishly used the word fanny-bag.. I saw some pretty horrified faces when I said it.. Fanny over here isn't a cutesy word for "bum", but a relatively rude word for women's bits.. hmm.. Anyway, the main thing is that even though many of us don't *understand* Shroppy, at least we know he's ok!!
