The Death of my Monster

04-10-2007, 01:20 PM

Had a bit of an accident back in August

My Monster is dead...sob

I'm guessing not many Monsters have had such a dramatic ending!

Stafford · 04-10-2007, 01:25 PM

Oh my god its been decapitated

Er, does this mean welcome and goodbye?

04-10-2007, 01:36 PM

maybe not goodbye

but i'll wait for my broken bones to heal 1st!

JerryXt · 04-10-2007, 01:37 PM

that's dramatic! Are / were you ok?

BTW, can I buy the front part? Kato on here keeps threatening to turn up one night and steal the front from mine. This might confuse him

Jerry- i'm ok now, broke most of the bones in my body!

got hit by a police van who was running a red light so came off quite well considering

i'll let u know abt the front part- have a court case 1st

I remember this. You were in the BBC news (web version) and mentioned on this forum too.

Good to hear you're allright.

Get the yokes and bars back on - the first monster unicyle?
On a more serios note, glad you are still here - sounds horendous.

Yeah I remember reading about that accident too. Glad you are on the mend and hopefully the Monster will rise again too.

I see there is no mention of the police van going though a red light

Glad to hear you're on the mend

no mention of the red light, but dorset st/gloucester place is traffic light controlled, and i'm not so stupid as to go through a red light myself...

Ouch thats a bit messy!! Still half a roll of gaffer tape and a handful of BIG zippies should see it almost invisibly mended.
Sounds like you'll have a few more visible scars than the bike, and it's good to hear that despite their best efforts you're up and hopefully able to empty their coffers a bit. I'm quite in favour of that, it's my tax £'s supporting them so a good payout gets my vote.
BBC kinda implies you collided with them rather than them mowing you down. One of those outraged reader stern letters to them I'd think for trying to prejudge the accident and implying you maniacally attacked the police van. If you had an S4 I might have almost believed that one though LOL

Hope all goes well and we see you out there sometime plus a shiny new monster of course!!

Nightmare. How badly broken are/were you? A lot of us asked after you on here although nobody knew who it was.

Get well soon and hope to see you up and out on rideouts in the future.

Glad to hear you're ok! Hope you get what's owed to you and then some.

See you around on the 1098 and/or brand new S4rs!
