imster Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Unfortunately I have bad news. I went for a motorbike ride last weekend and had a crash, my left shoulder is completely shattered and my right thumb has a torn ligament so no modelling for me for quite some time, I go for surgery on Friday so wish me luck!

imster Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 thanks all, surgery went well now time to recover and hopefully ill be back on the bench in 8 weeks time. the accident was my fault, i didnt hit anyone but just lowsided coming into a tight corner, the crash was at around 40kmh so very slow too, glad i had all my gear on and that it was my shoulder rather than my head, neck or back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mencie Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Great stuff and very impressive. Just been reading the build of it in TMMI this month, just makes me want to crack my two open (the plan is one red, one satin black) Keep it coming, love it.

The Cameraman Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) cheers fella, on the mend now and cant wait to get back on the bench! Hi Imster, as a fellow biker, I wish you a fast, complete recovery. And also being a biker (who averages around 25,000 miles per year), I have to ask, how's your bike?

And also being a biker (who averages around 25,000 miles per year), I have to ask, how's your bike? Regards Reggie the bike is pretty much a write off, it was a low speed lowside accident but surprisingly did lots of damage. I put alot of effort into that bike (2008 Kawasaki Z1000), had it custom painted and lots of add on parts. In terms of damage, the tank is completely dented and ruined (no leaks though), gear lever and peg completely sheared off, front bar bent, grips, controls, levers and speedo totalled, front fairing busted and bent up, exhaust cans ruined, all bodyparts have scrqatches and scrapes, the list is endless lol.

Sorry to hear about all the damage imster, coming from someone who works in the bike industry Z1000's are nice bikes. Did you have any Power bronze parts on it ? Get well soon.

imster Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 no mate i had a few rizoma bits on it, crg arrow bar end mirrors which cost a small fortune but totally worth it + Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jockster Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Sorry to hear about the spill, but it sounds like you're recovering well so I'm pleased for you. Always the first thought when you crash, 'how's the bike? can I still ride it?'! Nice model, lovely red! Look forward to your return to the bench!

imster Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 So I'm almost healed up enough to get back on this! I can't wait as I've been pretty stressed about my lack of mobility and independence, breaking a shoulder is much worse than a leg or arm and even as I type its only with one hand as my shoulder is still in the sling. Anyways I'm almost done with this build, just a matter of putting it all together as the front fender is now complete, I am just in the process of figuring out how to attach the cowlings without using the screws so once thats solved then I will finish this one off!

imster Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) And finally its complete!!! I didnt put the mirrors or the rear mudguard as I think the bike looks ugly with them on, perhaps later on I will put them on but for the time being all pics are with the 'slimline illegal' look Hope you all like!! C&C welcome If you like what you see then follow my next build which is a car this time.....
