Sore Doodle

Rumour has it that we have a sore doodle.

Gnat is ok with a banged knee. (Overnight in hos)

Wishing both well.

 

Yeah, but how's the bike?

Moike

(working on the assumption that both the human beings involved are more
or less OK)

 

Damn! Get well guys. Gnat needs those knees lookin' good when playing grid gal.

 

Likewise. Wot happened?...

 

Bugger!
Not the Beemer!
Hope the banged knee is not too banged up.
Clem didn't use Gnat as an airbag did he?

 

Shite! Hope you and Gnat are feeling better soon Clem.

Cheers,
Ash

 

Update: apparently, they hit a little gravel up near Eildon, and
the front stepped out and the rest of the bike followed in an
elegant pirouette-with-two-valve-covers.

Parked right behind yours at Ringwood BM, they tell me.

Just got off the phone to Clem, both okay except gNat's kNee is
somewhat banged up so she's getting a little surgery on that.

I think Clem is about to lose his kNuts ...

Clem / Gnat, get well soon.. we need our beer wench ;0

Johno

 

Same here. Get well soon, gNat, and sorry to hear about the ugg boots!

 

I can see it is time we got Clem out on the dirt for some real GS action.

Anything I can do to help Clem just call.

 

Sorry to hear that guys - hope you're both feeling better quickly. Not
a good end to what sounds like it was a great weekend.

All the best to you both.

Gnat is having cosmetic surgery to repair some nasty gashes on her knee
and toe and "a little tendon damage is under repair".

Clem is just generally sore, but OK

The Bimmer looks like a write off. (It *is* standing next toi mine at
the mechanics.)

All from a slide in gravel on a newly sealed bit of road at ~ 40k/h.

They will be in Melb until probably friday or Saturday.

WOAH!

Hope it all heals quick but what happened to the Hawaiian shirt?!?!

Very unfortunate. Gnat clearly needs some padding. Give them my regards!

Damn!

Gary (better keep an eye on my R65)

 

All the best to both of you, Clem & gNat.

Bugger, get well soon Clem and Gnat, hope the bike is not as bad as it
looks.

Bill

Say NO to tofu

 

Bugger! Bugger! Bugger! Hope you both heal good & quick Clem & Gnat.
Where in Melb are they staying? Might try do a call past if I can make time
during work.

 

Yes the rumours is true folks; I AM a dickhead!
We were riding along, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, the cows
were smiling and the BMW was ... err ... doing nothing spectacular when all
of a sudden we were surfing the left pot.
I had a nice comfortable girl under me so I let go and the bike immediately
flipped-over and smacked-down hard on the right side breaking the frame-lug
that, had I listened to Wierd-Al, I would've protected with a Tour-thingy
Lock-stopper.
This broke free the headlight, gauges, oil-cooler etc as well as kinking the
right fork-leg and, along with the dented tank and graunched panniers, has
pretty-much condemned the bike to being written off. (Anyone wanna'
street-fighter a BM? I'm too scared too 'cause the local BMW club would
probably come around to my house and lynch me with their nifty
colour-coordinated tiedowns!)

gNat's knee and big toe looked really gruesome but she's had plastic-surgery
today and a skin graft today and the specialist reckons she'll make a full
recovery with very little scarring (although if they took the skin-graft
from her buttock she could end up with a bum-knee!)
She's in Mitcham Private Hospital (rm231) if anyone wants to go around and
commiserate about what a tool her father is.

It looks like the bike will stay here and we'll fly back to Qld on Saturday.

Thank you all very much. I have honestly been overwhelmed with offers of
help; from utes, trailers, people offering to drive 300km etc. I've been
offered enough cars to start my own taxi-fleet and I've even been offered
councilling (something I may still need after Michelle gets through with
me!)
Cheers .... SoreDoodle (soon to be NoDoodle)
