Hooligan in hospital

[hooligan]

Hey boys,
In hospital at the moment. No idea what happened, I was riding through the city for work, and then woke up in st Vincent's. I don't even remember getting on the bike.
I had my radius and ulna plated this afternoon. Lost my phone, lying in a hospital bed with my iPad that was in my top box. The MT. 09 seems a bit messy- my wife has seen it and shoes me pics. The front forks are touching the rad.
Anyway, I'm tired and in pain. Just thought I'd let you all know.

[TurboKat]

Not good to hear Chris, keep your chin up & heal quick mate.

[ozzy1100]

[hooligan]

Not planning on making a habit- but I had done 20,000 ks on that bike since I got it in April.

[stiffsimon]

Some people will go to great lengths to get good drugs :). Heal quickly Hooligan

[Large]

Heal up quick Chris.

[hyofighter]

[latheboy]

Might be a good thing you don't remember why you're there.

Don't touch up the nurses, they don't like that!

[Gix11]

Shit mate, not again! I guess you have no idea what it was that happened and that's the way it should stay. You don't want to go around the city avoiding that spot as well!

[Iceman]

Fuck Chris, you have more stacks than I have roots. I hope you're back on you feet soon mate, take it easy.

[Azrael]

Heal well man, sounds like you bounce pretty well and that's gotta be a good thing..

[BANDITROD]

[Watto]

[Redmohawk]

[xa-mont]

[rock hard]

Take Care Chris ..at least your in st Vincents and not some 3rd world Hospital...

[DCRacing]

Rest up and take care, bikes are easy to sort, the bits with meat around them tho different story.
Good to hear you are ok.

[hooligan]

Soo...
I was in hospital on weds, surgery on Thursday ( custom made supersized plate for my long forearms) and out on Friday. A few shit days at home dealing with the friction after a bike crash, and it all seems to be getting better.
Giving a statement to cops on the 24th - that'll be quite short, I think I know why I was parked in the area, but no memory of riding there, or the crash.
Half cast comes off on 30th (no swimming on Christmas day for me), gets replaced with a splint, and I'll be sure I get a pic of my latest Frankenstein scar on my wrist from where they inserted the plate. Head injury doc in the new year. My head is less fuzzy now I'm on less painkillers. No oxy's, a little bit of pan adenine forte, mostly just ibuprofen.
And my wardrobe is now dictated by what shirt sleeves fit over the cast, so mostly old heavy metal and ASF tshirts.
Merry Christmas, bitches.

[StuNVA]

Ho, ho, ho........... glad to read you are recovering as well as you could be.

[hooligan]

The bike is apparently write off, stu.
I'll see what I can salvage, parts wise before it goes to auction. Still to hear back from the assessor, that description was from the bike shop.
And I have a new for old insurance policy if it less than 2 years old, so could be worse.

That'd be fantaastic, I'm sure we can work something out. See what they want for it as a write off too.

[CICCO]

Sit back relax and rest up ..... Lots of time to think about your next bike....

[BANDITROD]

Glad to hear you are on the mend mate

[hooligan]

It's at pickles now. I'm arguing with them for my parts at the moment, I can't go and get them, but they won't pay me for them.
They sent it to pickles before they even asked me if the value was ok, even though I told them there were parts on it that weren't coverd by insurance so I wanted to remove them. And yes, i have the OEM bits in my garage.

[StuNVA]

What a pain in the arse.
Good luck arguing with the insurance company, I haven't seen too many win that argument.

[hooligan]

fucking good day today.
New for old approved. Trooper Lu's has one the same colour (the 2015 models look worse to me).
And my insurance company will tow my existing bike to troopers, let me swap everything over, then tow the broken one away again.
Fucking awesome.

[ozzy1100]

win....

[StuNVA]

Good shit, well done.

[xa-mont]

That's awesome! Who's the insurance with?

[Watto]

good work mate !

[hooligan]

That's awesome! Who's the insurance with?
Youi.
New for old if you're the first owner otherwise market value, $2000 riding gear coverage, and about $600 a year, from memory.

[davo]

titanium aint covered. You're a father now,time to mellow out and by a Gixxer thou.

[hooligan]

I have mellowed out, I own a gentlemans Vfr 800. The mt 09 is my company bike.
And my daughters handwriting on the get well cards is soooo much neater than it was last time.

So a good day yesterday - got a call from the delivery company saying they could bring the bike over, so when i get home, its in the garage for me.
the first 3 are how bad the break was, and the last one is the new MT in the garage.
Trooper Lu's were fucking brilliant, and Youi has been great, too.

Still cant ride it yet - seeing the surgeon on 10/3 for the next xray, then the GP next friday for workers comp cert, etc.
it's getting closer though.

[ozzy1100]

What's a few more pins :-)
Glad to hear things are improving

[Jockney Rebel]

Weel done that man

[hooligan]

so my arm is officially unbroken, says the surgeon.
still have to work on grip strength (52 left hand, 18, right hand) and flexibility. the flexibility is pretty poor, my wrist is LAMS approved - instead of screws in the throttle to lower the power, I've got screws in my arm.
doc reckons 3 weeks or so before i can ride, but since its workers comp, its up to the physio, and GP.

[ozzy1100]

Good luck mate

[hooligan]

which lane are my wheels in again?
6435

[hooligan]

i'll give you a hint. but what do you guys think?
6436

[Gix11]

Well if you're lying on the shoulder then the front is in the left lane for sure. Can't see the back one. Am I guessing they are trying to claim you were in the wrong lane? Insurance trying to pull the escape cord?

[hooligan]

Nah, insurance is good.
The other driver is saying I hit her stationary car in the left lane (where my feet are).
My head is in the right lane, and so are my wheels. The headlight on an mt09 is about 900 or a metre high, and it's lying on the line that divides left and right lanes - 2 lanes in each direction on this road.
HRd to hit a car in the left lane if I'm in the right lane. Unless she swerved into my lane. Then it's easy.

[rock hard]

Thats great mate ...still a bloody big hole in the road of life take care and as much as your frustrated just take your time Healing
