Guest kjh Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 hi folks, Talk about freak accidents, was riding on a sunny day when a lorry coming in the opposite direction, decided to lose a wheel, the whole wheel hitting me head on, putting me in hospital for over two months with more operations to come so my biking days are somewhat curtailed, might be able to manage a feet forward cruiser in a few years, hoping guzzi bring out a new california by then. Anyway if theres any members in Ireland interested, I've a few bits they can have for nought; v11 workshop manual, factory stand, guzzi panniers as new, though the frame was on the bike, might have other bits in the shed to. Just email if interested. Tried to post a few images of crashed v11, but the file attachment doesn't seem to work, any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Barrett Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I'm really sorry to hear this. I hope you mend well and fast though from what you say it's not going to be as simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Corsa Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Get well soon , so sorry to hear about that terrible thing, I know how it could be and I wish to everyone to be carefull-predicting and avoiding situations and stay safe. ''What if'' and ''how can I stay safe''should be always in mind . <_> I remember once long time ago, I was riding in speed highway , blind right corner, then came a car from the opposite side and made 180' turn inside the corner I was going, I hit on the ba$trd directly doing 80-90mph without any brakes. You don't want to know the rest. Good recovery and be carefull ,safe and lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gil Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Let me add my condolences...I'm so sorry to hear about the accident. The picture you posted of your bike on its side with all its precious bodily fluids draining out all over the tarmac is as sad a thing as I've ever seen. Awful. On the plus side however I am living proof that there is (motorcycle) life after a crash. Use your down time to deal with your bike. Make no rash decisions. Keep the faith.
