Bad luck

bluebloodinmyveins · April 1, 2011

So over the last year i have had treatment for cancer, and now a brain tumour.
Crashed a motorbike after a stupid woman pulled right out in front of me. The bike was wrecked, but luckily her insurance fixed it.
THEN a few weeks after my back tyre blows and i come off and finish in the oncoming lane skidding along and finish with my head about a foot away from a bus wheel going over it.
Then yesterday when driving on the motorway a bird smacks me right on the visor and shatters it, i struggled to stay on the bike but luckily i managed to, as i was going well over 80mph. Scared the absolute crap out of me. Then also yesterday my hamstring tears and I'm now on crutches.

So can anyone top this? Am i cursed?

In spanish they have a word for this, I think it's something like 'unfortunadamente'

Jesus... I guess it really does happen to the best of them.

Seriously mate, good luck with it all. It puts my problems into perspective.

Sirblue's right. Just keep smiling.

Nothing can stop BBIMV. Well, except maybe a slender young male bending over to pick up a pebble. xx

One solution: stop riding a motorcycle.

Good luck with it all though. Love ya mate

*Edit: I meant one solution to your crashes, not your other problems. I realise that couldve been taken in an insensitive way.

That's one whole heap of trouble right there mate... hope you come through it all ok.

ps get a car

My dad would never let me get a motorbike, too many young lads at his work coped it riding one. My wife won't let me get one now as she's a nurse and calls riders organ donors.

On the the flip side, you could be considered lucky. That bus wheel, the bird strike, that stupid woman, they could have all gone the other way.

You don't know what accident you might have had riding if you hadn't torn your hamstring etc.

"There's a little boy and on his 14th birthday he gets a horse... and everybody in the village says, "how wonderful. The boy got a horse" And the Zen master says, "we'll see." Two years later, the boy falls off the horse, breaks his leg, and everyone in the village says, "How terrible." And the Zen master says, "We'll see." Then, a war breaks out and all the young men have to go off and fight... except the boy can't cause his legs all messed up. and everybody in the village says, "How wonderful."

Now the Zen master says, "We'll see."

There's a rule I have followed for awhile now.. Anything I operate must have 4 or more points of contact with the ground.

Just be careful will yuh? 80mph is asking for trouble.
