Shelley had an accident around 2 pm on Saturday arvo.

There were about six of us riding out of Murwillambah and going to go up thru Mt Tomewin and she was tailing behind us doing the speed limit and she though she was able to pass a car and then realized the corner was a bit close she applied a bit of back brake and the brake has locked up and locked on causing a skid for 30 metres and then the bike went a bit sideways and then got traction and high sided flipping about twice then sliding for probably another ten metres.

Shelley is ok! She cracked her helmet  and was unconcious for about five minutes they reckon. I turned around thinking that she was taking a while to catch us up and rounded the corner only to find my darling lying in the middle of the road it was a fucking heart starter thats for sure I just couldn't get off the bike quick enough.

The engine bars and panniers have done their job and saved Shelley from a lot more injury than she would have recieved without them on she is very lucky.

She has a few scrapes and it ripped the arse clean out of her jeans I am just so thankfull she wears a jacket and a vest and we keep the helmets updated every two years she still has a sore head, neck, arse, elbows, shoulder and knees but she is ok and was gunna go to work  this morning I asked her to stay at home and just rest.

She is one tough chook and I love her very much.

Nooo way not another one.........been a bit of a spill weekend for the forum....................really sorry to hear that happened and hope she is ok .....look after her mate.......

Yeah not good mate but she is as chipper as she always is.
If it was me I would be making a few noises I'll bet.
Will pass on the messages to Shell.
Yeah Steve will see you at a certain blokes doo.

Good to see she's ok m8 , must have been a realy frightning just not to see her in ya rearview mirror let alone havein to go back to see her on the road .

Get well soon shell .

That must of felt awfull seeing her lying on the road like that, so glad she is ok. I couldn't think of any good reason to turn up to work with or without an accident, she is definately a tough nut.

Thank fuck I didn't see it in the rearview.
We were a bit in front cause we passed the car and she was going to then braked.
We were around the corner a bit and I thought she may have taken the wrong turn so I turned back to see her on the road.
She is certainly a tough one.
She don't look it but she is.

best wishes to the mrs mate , we haven't met yet but its a damn shame when a fellow rider comes off. hope she gets better soon. get her back on as soon as you can . she will feel better for it.

No the New members ride didn't happen because of a lack of new members.

We were on a private social ride with a few mates.

The pics of the sporty are in the thread, things that make ya go Farkkkkk in the clownery section.

Will pass on the good wishes everyone
Thanks for thinking of her.
It hasn't got her down, she still reckons she wants to ride, even if its still the same bike.
I reckon there is voodoo in a dropped or pranged bike.
I will probably get this fixed and sell it and buy her something a bit newer.
It all depends on the insurance though.

Hey Mick sorry to hear about shelley.I'm glad she is ok.

 

Hey Mick,

Sorry to hear the bad news, glad to hear the great news. She is fine!!!! Its a scary feeling coming up to a loved one not moving....Did that with my son a few months ago....

Please pass on our regards..

Cheers

Mick

Shit mate, that's no good.
Glad she's ok and willing to get back on.
Send my regards,
Geoff

What a freak out for you, sooooooo pleased Shell's ok Mick, please say hi and give her best wishes from me. Lynne

Shelley came out of it in pretty could spirits.

The bike is a bit battered and now up to the insurance Gods.

Don't think that she will be doing cartwheels this week, maybe next week.

Can't wait to see the next helmet (without the dyna this time Shell).

glad to hear she is alright .it certainly can take the wind out of u . hope to see ya on the road again soon

i did my stay upright course at willowbank raceway today was the only harley there of corse . mick i suggest u get shelly to do it may not have help but from what i was shown , learnt and did today , she may have had a little bit of extra knowledge to get out of that 1.


on the stay upright thing man those rice burners get moving im flying down the straight at 120 to 130 and there just flying past me as if i was standing still some on there back wheel .So if any1 was wondering if there was a speed limit i can honestly say there wasnt . i probably added 30 to 40 k/p/h to my cornering if u know what i mean .from the start of the morning just cruising around to hitting some of those corners at some decent speed .enuff for alot of the rice-burners to say i was really throwing that tank around by the end .

Good to hear, UB
