Who crashed?

Been very quiet on here lately. Partly due to a shit load of rain and partly because Mr has been out of action. Yep … crashed. And it’s my fault 😯

I’m the one who wanted to get His n Hers trail bikes. Michael offered to take us out to Governors Lookout.

Was actually a nice ride, mostly bitumen which is fine with me 🤣 out through Flagstone, Boonah, Mt Alford and end up somewhere near Aratula bahaha #nofeckinclueaye. Nice ride, poxy XT left behind the whole way 🤦🏻‍♀️.

Ok the lookout was very nice. 150m steep climb from the carpark to the actual lookout. No complaints there except my fitness is shit and I got mocked by Mickey lol. Who was also sweaty and puffed so, yeah.

Headed back to Boonah for lunch. Have never actually been into the town part only ever the BP, roundabout and info centre so that was interesting on its own. Very nice bakery on the corner of main road, lots of yummy food.

As we headed back through Bromelton, Mr didn’t see the 30k/hr corner sign or me slowing down for the corner (only because I saw Michael slow down as he went around) just as you get into Flagstone. That was it, the Tenere with its heavy body, dodgy fork seals and fuck knows what else wrong with it. The old sky > road > sky > road tumble scenario.

I heard Mr say fuck fuck as he was going down and looked in my mirror to see the bike go one way and him the other. I pulled up just a bit away and ran back, asking if he was ok, did he need an ambulance, bag, gloves and helmet thrown along the roadside as I ran, turned his bike off which had cut out but ignition still on.

He’s a tough bugger so when he said yes to an ambulance my little legs could not move quickly enough. Michael was long gone and no way to contact him in that moment. I went over to Mr to assess while I called the ambulance who took hardly any time to arrive I might add. Michael noticed we didn’t materialise behind him so came back to see if ok. Not ok lol.

Michael managed traffic, moving the bike to Becs house and bystanders while I stayed with Mr, had to keep his gammy arm off the ground and put my hoodie under his back for support. Not a lot of grazing and he was in full kit with some small tears and scuffing on his protective wear.

Police didn’t waste any time turning up with their ticket book looking to fine someone. I had a go at them while Michael had gone to take the Tenere and Spence was safely in the ambulance. Funny how you couldn’t turn up to his Mt Coot-tha *not at fault* crash but took mere minutes to get here accusing us of moving the bike for some reason other than to clear the road and because one of the cars that stopped offered 🤷🏻‍♀️ he gave me an oi oi oi for being snarky bitch. Move along plod, ya ain’t got shit.

With Mr carted off to hospital and his bike at mates place around the corner, it was a quiet ride back to Michaels lol. In my head I’m like yes he crashed the trail bike but was on the road so not reallllyyyy a dirt issue. Hopeful as hell lol. One of the first things I said when I saw him at the hospital “but it’s not dirt riding fault cos happened on the road hey?”.

One of the nurses goes ohhh so here’s the one whose fault it is 😆😆😆😆 and I’m like yeah yeah all my fault I know. Mr said we will go dirt again, he needs to patch up the bike which has very little damage for the speed (approx 80km/hr) when he crashed. Pushed in lever and foot peg on the right hand side, bent right handlebar lever and some scrapes.

It was a scrappy looker when we bought it so cosmetically not too bothered. Well we didn’t get many rides in off road before a crash happened, thankfully old mate had plenty of sick leave and around 5 weeks later he was back to work.

I’ve never been so stressed in my life trying to be nurse, work full time and manage the household. Might have had on crying fit in the car 👀

I don’t know if we will go dirt again, Mr isn’t too keen and not sure I am either. I wanted to try it on my own bikes and we did, they can always be onsold I’m not overly concerned even if we make a small loss they did what I wanted them to and I had some fun. TBC at later date once the Tenere is up and running again 😊 if I lure him once I can lure him again 😂😂😂😂
