Bad motorcycle wreck

**ginkobulloba** · 12-02-2006, 04:11 AM

I got in a bad wreck the other day while driving my cbr. I was passing a car and when I got back into my lane there was a truck headed right for me. Fcker was in my lane, who knows why. I turned left to avoid him and he turns left, I turn right and he turns right. The last thing I remember was heading straight for the grill of the truck. Then I woke up in the hospital.

I can say I was very lucky. I remember thinking right before the impact was that this could be it, lights out. I've got a broken scapula and they've done a couple of operations. I should be ok eventually. I've got some good friends and an awesome girlfriend who've been looking out for me. It's high season in Thailand, maybe time to buy a car.

M, you crazy bastard !!! I saw the way you took off the night we had dinner, you almost had a head on then as well if you remember. I hope you are OK man !!!

Yeah, that's right, a tuk-tuk driver was headed right for me. It's just a matter of when, not if you'll get into a wreck out here. I'm lucky man, my buddy who saw the truck and my bike said a Thai dude would've been dead on impact. Saved by the gym.
Hopefully back to lifting real soon.

Not to go off topic here, and glad your ok, I've been there done that. Anyways, DON'T JUST LET THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOTAL YOUR BIKE! If they are going to total it, buy it back dirt cheap and break it down for race parts. You can get your money back. You could literally get more than you paid for the bike if you do it right by selling off parts to racers for spares.

Let me know if you need help.

sorry to hear man but really your lucky.one of my best friends and neighbor got a bike about 10 months ago and he had it for about 2 1/2 weeks. He dont remember what happened but they think he got ran offf the road by a car. Now hes 21 and paralized from the waist down for the rest of his life. The hospital said it was the worse spinal break they had ever seen.

**zimmy** · 12-02-2006, 03:13 PM

**DSM4Life** · 12-02-2006, 04:53 PM

At least it wasn't a Suzuki that went down , just another Honda

(j/k) Hope you come back 100 percent.

**STYLE74** · 12-02-2006, 09:31 PM

Hey man i hope you get well quick and hope you leave the bikes alone. They are great fun to ride but all it takes is one a$$hole and it's over.

Good luck in your recovery.

**paulzane** · 12-03-2006, 01:25 PM

Good Luck! You should always enjoy Thailand in bed ...... but not a hospital bed!

**Swiggy** · 12-03-2006, 06:40 PM

ive been away with my friend to dominican republic three times and we always rent scooters, he went to thailand and he said he would never get on a bike or scooter there. he said when ever he went somewhere he never watched the road.

**big L 17** · 12-03-2006, 07:52 PM

**SS1476** · 12-03-2006, 08:38 PM

From one CBR owner to another
I wish you the best of luck and
hope you heal up quickly bro.

**ginkobulloba** · 12-03-2006, 11:48 PM

Thanks everyone, it's gonna be real hard, but I might have to give up the bikes. Maybe I'll just keep the chopper though. Fck! I love to ride, it's just so dangerous around here. It's been a daily thing, somone nearly taking me out, this time I just ran out of luck.

***t-gunz*** · 12-04-2006, 12:14 AM

Glad your ok bro. i crashed my ZX6R i t-boned a car... it was horrible.. the fact that my bike was a write off...lol Are you going to but another bike???

**Sta11ion** · 12-04-2006, 01:26 AM

I have been riding for years and I have decided that its it for me. The ducati 999 is gone but I will keep my r6 for the track for a ride here and there. But good luck with the recovery been there a few times and its not nice but at least your here typing and will be walking.

I've got two more bikes. The insurance from the guy who hit me is paying for the cbr to be fixed. That bike was a gift from my girlfriend, but I won't ride it anymore after this. It's bad luck, that one. It's just so dangerous here, I really should get a car or a truck. The chopper is what I really don't want to let go of. We'll see what happens. Looks like I just sold my bar as of today so changes are definitely going to be happening.
