a gentle put down...

[debandee]

Last night as I was leaving work in Brisbane I eased away from the curb, paused to wait for a car to pass and put my right leg out to steady the busa when my hamstring popped.
Bike went down in slow motion and I spent the next 5 minutes hobbling around inventing swear words and wondering what the fire was just under my ass.
I then spent the next 5 getting my girl vertical again and inventing new swear words at the cars that were gawking at me and not helping.
I'm a stranger in the city and after calling my boss to let him know what happened, my only option was to ride back to my hotel - peg-leg out straight and hoping no one cut me off.
To add insult to injury, a bat crapped on me as I rode under a tree...
The paramedics took me to St Andrews via the Green Stick Express.
Scans don't show anything yet... but if I'm ever going to be thrown off my bike, I think this is a better way to do it.

WoW, that's an unusual way of hurting yourself! I hope both you and the busa aren't too scuffed up and are right to go again soon!!

[debandee]

and I was planning a big road trip this weekend too...
at least a couple tanks worth...
Oh well, I can plan the trip properly during enforced rest

Mate, I share your pain and anger,

Been there too mate. The hurt dies off when she is all fixed up.... Hope your OK too.

[debandee]

yes... i think most of the hurt was caused by trying to stop my bike hitting the tar.
The little peg under the foot rest broke off and the paint is slightly dimpled.
I will have to invest in some oggy knobs when i replace the foot rests

I always thought breaking those dambed "hero knobs" off the bottoms of the footpegs was a "weight saving mod" (mine are almost completely worn away )

Hopefully both your's and the bikes injuries will buff out mate.
