Hi Leo,
Wow an impressive way of dodging have coffee with me at the AGM.
Glad to hear you are on the mend.
Apparently you were not the only casualty of travelling to the AGM.
After losing control of his bike while pulling a trailer to the AGM a rider and his pillion also ended up in a hospital in Adelaide.

Wow! Three plus months. I know you'll be feeling much more like getting on the bike a long time before the compulsory time is up. Once the bruising subsides and the pain fades you'll be champing at the bit (to borrow a horsey phrase). The roses will never have been so well-tended.

A phone call from the carrier has confirmed Tuesday as "pick up" day. She'll be on her way home soon Leo.

Thanks Pete
Now I'm not allowed to get too excited

Keep the strength up in your good arm so you can attend to the bit of cosmetic damage as soon as she arrives.
Will the insurance assessment take place in Toowoomba, or has it been done already?

Now that is an interesting question.

Wild Rose · « **Reply #82 on:** May 18, 2018, 07:09:45 PM »

As far as I know Toowoomba but I never thought of that
But because there is not a lot of damage I thought it would be fixed in Toowoomba
I'm with Shannon Insurance and they have been great so far
My mate that was hit by the roo is with QBE and talks to people oversea's and is not happy with them
As soon as his bike is fixed he is swapping to Shannon's

I'm with RAA. Personally I have had no problems with them but when I hit a roo it took two months to fix. The bike shop blamed the insurance but how much of that is true I don't know. That bike shop's demise is how I found this forum.

I'm with Youi and they were great when I had a minor scrape. Didn't affect my premiums either.

Leo's bike has left my place for it's journey home, in far different circumstances to it's arrival in SA, and not in the way that Leo would have chosen.
I've attached a photo of the minimal damage, and just before she was loaded by the carrier.

Leo, I've sent you a PM.

Biggles · « **Reply #86 on:** May 22, 2018, 07:01:45 PM »

Lucky he had his highway peg folded in. They don't like being leaned on!

Fortunately when I tried that stunt you could still buy replacement parts.

We all hope never to use it (like insurance) but great that it works so well, especially when you're so far from home.

Had the best sleep last night since the off

I have been only getting 2-3 hrs before my arm starts hurting and wakes me up
get up walk around the house take some panadol then back to bed and try to get another few hours
Last night I slept with my arm out of the sling on my back with my arm beside my side
I use Cpap machine so no snoring to keep household awake
So I got 6hrs so a big improvment
Maybe the big walk yesterday home from the doctor yesterday helped

Or the few beers I had last night at a mates send off from work

Sicman · « **Reply #90 on:** May 26, 2018, 08:49:13 AM »

Beer is a magical thing to bring on sleep

Gadget · « **Reply #91 on:** May 26, 2018, 06:18:40 PM »

Those liquid amber sleeping tablets are excellent. Minimum of 2, and don't call me in the morning.

Hello Wild Rose, I just wanted to say I hope you're doing ok, with my recent accident 3 days ago I was terrified and I hope you're well on your way to getting better. Stay safe. Jason.

Wild Rose · « **Reply #94 on:** June 08, 2018, 01:02:47 PM »

I was talking to Shannon Insurance today
Apparently my bike turned up in Toowoomba yesterda, I will drop down on Monday to get my panniers and top box which are packed full of my travel things

StinkyPete · « **Reply #95 on:** June 09, 2018, 04:07:48 PM »

That took a bit more time than I expected. Your dirty laundry will be pretty ripe by now.

I don't know why it took so long but I am pleased the bike is home or i'm hoping it is
Toowoomba Motorcycles have not informed me that it has arrived only Shannon's
I can get a lift down on Monday morning to check things out

The dirty laundry can always be binned

....... The dirty laundry can always be binned

In 2011, on the ride home from the Ulysses AGM at Newcastle, I had a little detour via the Bega District Hospital and then National Private Hospital in Canberra. The Mighty CB1300 and most of my luggage was stranded, sitting lonely a shed at the rear of the Grand Hotel in Bega.

RACV Extra Cover took care of the CB - it was either a long or slow trip home, as it took three weeks. I was home and up and about by then, so supervised it being safely parked in the garage. I still was not fit enough for any tinkering with the bike, and there wasn't much thought to unpacking my gear. That would have to wait for a couple of more weeks.

When I did get to unpack everything, I remembered that the tent had been packed-up in the wet. I was expecting it to be mouldy as I unrolled it, but no it was fine. There must be something said for the synthetic materials some tents are made of these days.

Some jocks and socks that were rolled up next to the tent didn't fare so well. The wheelie bin next to the garage door came in handy.

In years to come Biggles will post this story in motorcycle quotes.
