Member Contributer Dutchy Posted August 14, 2016 Author Member Contributer Share Posted August 14, 2016 The driver phoned me to apologise. Both him and I need to go to the police procurator on tuesday 9am in the city of Rokiskis near the accident, 80km from here/the hospital. That is where my bike is too.

Member Contributer rangemaster Posted August 14, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted August 14, 2016 Dutchy, Glad you are "OK" (relatively). Hope it all works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted August 14, 2016 Author Member Contributer Share Posted August 14, 2016 Yes I am still alive (Pearl Jam) and nothing else matters (Metallica) Bike is 80 km away aparently wrecked (will see tomorrow) The Lithuanian family (3 kids on the back seat) is living in the UK, hence ok/good english. They are apologising for causing the accident. Lets see what they declare on Tuesday..... See what's next? A RC51?? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted August 14, 2016 Author Member Contributer Share Posted August 14, 2016 From what the lady from the insurance emergency response team described, it is toast... Cheers!! Alcohol does not solve problems... (but neither does milk ot water) The hospital breathalised me, as did the police. 0.0..... As per normal when I ride.

Member Contributer JZH Posted August 14, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted August 14, 2016 Ah, crap. Very sorry to hear about the premature end to your 2016 tour, Leon. But I see that you're already doing physical therapy, so you should be back to full fitness in no time! It may not be your choice to repatriate redslut (the insurance sometimes limits this), but you've got to get your farkles back somehow (and the whisky!)

Might be a good therapy. Do not drink to much alcohol, this slows the Healing proces of youre wrist. Hopefully the whisky bottles are nog broken. That would complete the disaster.

Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted August 15, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted August 15, 2016 Sorry to read of the end of the Ace of Spades Tour Leon. Hope that you heal up quickly and resolve the insurance business without too much financial pain. We are eagerly awaiting pics of the Red Slut as she is almost family to those of us on the forum.

Sweeper Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 So glad to see your mug and that you are doing your therapy. I hope the bastards have not harmed Redslut while she is out of your care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Oh no :( Glad you are mostly ok Leon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Polarbear Posted August 15, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted August 15, 2016 NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry to hear Leon. I hope that you are mostly ok physically--wrist does not hurt too much? Are you allowed to drink while on pain killers? Is the head ok, considering you were unconscious for a bit?? Crap! That sure is bad news. You blew 0% on alcohol, that seems like a pretty slam dunk from an insurance point of view.... I hope it goes smoothly. On the bright side, good thing you do not have to go to work on Monday or anything... I'd say don't hesitate to call if I can help, but.... I'm a tad far... but all the same, I can give you reading lists for the next little while. How do you feel about the history of the French language?? Historical phonetics??? Cheers man! Keep the spirits up!! (yes, pun intended... even a bad one like this one) C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted August 15, 2016 Author Member Contributer Share Posted August 15, 2016 I fear pics of redslut will earn me a ban on vfrd since no crash pictutes are allowed here..

AndreasH Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Hi Leon, I´m very sorry to hear about your accident! :-( Sad ending of a great tour. Fortunately you seem to be OK. If your bike is not all twisted up....remember I have half a VFR in my garage! Forks, upper/lower triples, handlebars, grips, all fairings with all brackets, fuel tank and rear subframe. (Colour is black though) Special price for you my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
