Crashed :(

khaoz069 · November 13th, 2012, 03:49 PM

hey guys, i know it's been quite a long time since I posted.. but hmm I just gone down this morning

I'm perfectly healthy that's the most important of course but the ninjette .. ugh.. quite a disaster

I was driving in a main road at bout 90km/h as there was just a speeding camera before luckily... and and there was this truck (furniture truck) huge as fk.. -.- which was on a stop sign. I didn't bother reducing as it didn't seem to go out ans saw me .. all of a sudden he drives and I was heading right in middle.. while I was breaking the ninjette's rear tire kinda was playing and uhmm managed to skid at the back of the truck .. the ninjette hit the truck head on on the rear bumper and i flew on the road, woke up right away.. such a horrible thing to see the ninjette in that situation ..

nothing happend to me as I had my gear on as always, just a bit bruised shoulder but no biggie.

Parts to be replaced are ...

Fearings, front both sides
Front fearing
Front mudguard
Mirrors
1 indicator
radiator
Silencer got scrateeched and a part of rear fearing as well
frame sliders scratched
and the tank .. has the shape of my balls at the back .. lol

that sucks. Glad you were wearing your gear and are ok. Post some more pics if you have 'em

rojoracing53 · November 13th, 2012, 04:17 PM

That has to be a total in the insurances eyes, time for a black 300.

Good to hear your ok and wearing your gear

khaoz069 · November 13th, 2012, 04:32 PM

if only ... >< in here they are fkin expensive .. =/ the 300 is 5700 euros .. while in the us you can get it for 3700 euros -_- .. same price i got my ninja 2009 second hand

Also I love my ninja, so repairing and will roll a couple of more years hopefully

Lychee · November 13th, 2012, 04:42 PM

Glad you're OK. Don't forget to check for front end frame damage and bent forks...

khaoz069 · November 13th, 2012, 04:45 PM

front end just the radiator it seems, but will open her up after the surveyor checks it out .. yeah, also forks are not properly aligned :l I hope I'll be riding soon enough .. Traffics are horrible in here & I love riding ofc

austexjg · November 13th, 2012, 05:03 PM

Glad you are okay...

NevadaWolf · November 13th, 2012, 05:11 PM

Glad you are ok! Yay for gear doing its job!!

csmith12 · November 13th, 2012, 05:46 PM

Happy your good. Gear FTMFW!

EternalNewb · November 13th, 2012, 06:30 PM

I'm sorry to hear about the bike, but I'm glad that you're at least ok.

ChrisCusi · November 13th, 2012, 10:23 PM

Glad you're alright!

Glad you are ok.

What can you learn from this experience and use to improve your riding skills?

I see a few possible things:

Not reducing speed approaching an intersection.
Assuming the driver of the truck would stay stopped.
Possible overuse of rear brake.

Again, glad you are ok and

for being ATGATT

Miles_Prower · November 15th, 2012, 01:05 PM

glad you are ok! that's the most important part!

khaoz069 · November 18th, 2012, 02:01 PM

Thank you all

hmm regarding the assumptions, you are absolutely right Jeff, but ughh the assumption was kinda obvious as they were stopped and all of a sudden they went out =/ guess i'll have to drive slower ..when I get the bike back.

However I am going nuts in the morning traffic with the car !! I was thinking about getting a Yamaha XT 250, any of you guys have had any ? it's a bit old not sure about the details I will go to view it this week but it's quite cheap bout 900 Euros && I would use it when it's raining instead of the ninja

xSean13 · November 18th, 2012, 03:09 PM

Sucks to hear about another rider crashing; glad you're smart and wear your gear though... And made it out okay.

Side note:
I believe the word you are looking for is: Fairing*

khaoz069 · November 18th, 2012, 09:24 PM

haha yes indeed, I have a bad habit of writing it wrong -.-

khaoz069 · November 28th, 2012, 05:39 PM

To update you guys a bit, the survey hasn't been done yet as my mechanic is still abroad but will be done on Friday.

Good news is that his insurance company opened the claim with no problems at all.

Bad news .. I'm going nuts without the ninja !! I miss riding so much ..

my buddy just got the 300 and I can't go ride with him

khaoz069 · January 25th, 2013, 07:37 AM

Still without the bike, meanwile I have bought a Hyosung RX 125, got some modifications done, replaced the mask with the KTM Duke's looks pretty wicked, removed all stickers, all black :P I'll post some pictures later on.

The ninja parts have arrived still waiting on the mushrooms/frame sliders to arrive..
I should be rollin with my sexy beast again next week !! After months :l

Jiggles · January 25th, 2013, 11:36 AM

Hyosung??? That thing is gna fall apart!

khaoz069 · January 25th, 2013, 11:46 AM

Hopefully she doesn't she's a beauty also

got some fixing up to do on her but first I'll get the ninja back so I will have a motorcycle to ride with, traffic is unbearable for me !

khaoz069 · February 27th, 2013, 01:34 AM

Ninjette is back in black wilder than ever

That's great news man, enjoy your ninja and remember, don't follow cars to closely again

are you going to sell your Hyosung RX 125? or keep it

khaoz069 · February 27th, 2013, 05:33 PM

I wasn't following :P he came out from a side street where he had a stop sign xD however for now yes I'll keep the Hyo although I'm starting to dislike it after driving the ninja <3 haha

Yakaru · February 28th, 2013, 02:41 AM

Dunno if it helps, but I stare at two things when I am on the street: front tires and heads. If the head doesn't turn, they don't see me. If I want to see the car's speed or if they're going to change lanes -- front tires.

Am I misunderstanding or was the a x-shaped intersection with him going down one road and you the other, you thought he stopped and saw you, then he didn't and went into you? If so -- did you do the motorcycle SMIDSY prevention dance?
