Whelp's Unfall 10.6.2007

[svleo]

Good whishes from me to.

[QueenVamp]

Dirk is doing fine. He's in good spirits and making jokes. He doesn't want to take any more pain medication. He says 'men can handle pain'. He also said 'he's like a one legged man in a butt kicking contest'.

I showed him the photos of his bike and he is concerned that the back wheel looks a bit crooked. So maybe a new bike is in order! Any excuse right?

It turns out that the accident was caused by 2 bicyclists who were riding down the middle of the road. He had to pass on the side and that is where he hit the wet pavement. If the bicyclists had been riding on the right where they belonged it wouldn't have happened.

He says the 'sucky' part is that he had been following the speed limit the entire trip!

If anyone has sent him SMS's -- he doesn't know how to access the SMS function on his handy so they will probably not be answered.

And the two bicyclists just went on??? He must have been quite close to them when he hit the wet spot, they must have heard (and probably seen) somthing in any case. Or was it them to call the police?

[QueenVamp]

He doesn't know, but his parents say they will call the police officer we talked to yesterday and see if he has the names of who called or any witnesses. Maybe there will be some luck and we will find out who they were. I think it is a long shot though.

The police officer didn't know anything about the bicyclists yesterday when we talked to him, and Dirk wasn't able to tell anyone what happened until today.

Habe ihr ebengerade besucht, ihm geht’s den Umständen entsprechend gut.

Falls ihn noch jemand besuchen möchte, er liegt im dritten Stockwerk im Zimmer 236.

[Martin650]

Oh Shit. All the best for him.

But I think, it does'nt matter if you find the 2 riders or not. If he wants to overtake, he has to be sure, if it's safe or not.

ORIGINAL
TRANSLATION

Ich habe mal die vorherigen Posts von QueenVamp übersetzt, damit auch die Leute verstehen was hier geredet wird, die der Englischen Sprache nicht so mächtig sind.
(Sind bestimmt ein paar Fehler drin, dürfte aber verständlich sein)

I will try to answer some questions.

Thank you Elin for the translation.

I am not sure where the accident happened, but it must have been close to Erbach since that is where they took him to be treated. I will ask when I see him in the morning where it happened.

I am still missing his jacket and helmet, but I do have his leather pants and one shoe. We have no idea where the shoe was lost. Perhaps it is still beside the street. He was planning to get a new biker outfit anyway so this isn't a big loss. The outfit wasn't damaged but they cut it off him so it is completely ruined.

He hasn't ridden with the svrider group for a while because he said 'they drive too fast' and 'have faster bikes'. His bike is a 650. We did ask if anyone was with him and they said no. Personally I prefer for him to ride with a group so that if something does happen, like this, then he has someone with him.

I'm sure he wouldn't mind someone to visit him. BRING HIM BEER! or something equivilant. I guess the hospital won't allow it hm?


I will be bringing him my laptop and several video games to play that should keep him busy for a while. I hope the 2 weeks go very quickly. We all know how terrible hospitals are, and Dirk hates them more than anything!

Ich werde versuchen einige Fragen zu beantworten.

@Elin
Danke für die Übersetzung

Ich bin mir nicht sicher wo sich der Unfall zugetragen hat, aber es muss nahe an Erbach gewesen sein. Ich werde ihn morgen fragen wie das passiert ist, wenn ich ihn sehe.

Ich vermisse seitdem seine Jacke und den Helm, habe aber die Lederhose und einen Schuh. Wir haben keine Idee wo der andere Schuh abgeblieben sein könnte. Vielleicht ist er noch neben der Strasse.
Er wollte sowieso seine Ausrüstung austauschen, daher ist es kein großer Verlust. Die Sachen waren nicht beschädigt, da sie aber aufgeschnitten werden mussten sind sie nun komplett ruiniert.

Er ist lange nicht mit der SVrider Gruppe gefahren, weil es ihm zu schnell war und sie zu schnelle Motorräder haben. Sein Motorrad ist lediglich eine SV650. Wir hatten gefragt ob jemand mit ihm unterwegs war, aber sie verneinten dies.
Ich persönlich bevorzuge es, wenn er mit einer Gruppe unterwegs ist, damit jemand zum Helfen dabei ist wenn etwas passieren sollte.

Ich bin mir sicher, Besuch würde ihm nichts ausmachen. BRINGT IHM BIER MIT ! ! oder etwas vergleichbares. Wobei ich denke, dass es nicht vom Krankenhaus erlaubt ist...

Ich bringe ihm meinen Laptop und einige Videospiele, damit er einige Zeit beschäftigt ist. Hoffentlich gehen die 2 Wochen schnell um.
Wir wissen alle wie schrecklich Krankenhäuser sind, zu mal Dirk sie mehr als andere hasst.

Dirk geht es ganz gut. Er ist in einer guten Verfassung und mach schon Witze. Er will ausserdem keine Schmerzmittel mehr nehmen, da ein "Mann Schmerzen ertragen kann/MUSS"
Er sagt auch, dass er ist wie ein Einbeiniger im Arschtret-Wettbewerb ist.

Ich habe ihm ein paar Fotos von seinem Motorrad gezeigt und er befürchtet, dass das Hinterrad krumm/gebrochen ist. Gibt es eine Entschuldigung, KEIN neues Motorrad zu kaufen?

Der Unfall war durch 2 Fahrradfahrer verursacht, die in der Mitte der Strasse gefahren sind. Dadurch musste er zur Seite ausweichen und erwischte die/eine nasse Stelle. Wenn die Fahrer auf der rechten Seite gefahren wären, wäre es vermutlich nicht passiert.

Das "ärgerliche" ist, das er sich die ganze Fahrt über an die Geschwindigkeitsbeschränkung gehalten hat.

Wenn ihm jemand eine SMS geschickt hat, wird sie wahrscheinlich nicht beantwortet, da er nicht weiß, wie er Zugang zu der SMS Funktion erhält.

Er ist sich nicht sicher, aber seine Eltern wollen den Polizisten von gestern nochmal anrufen und versuchen, ob er den Namen des Anrufers oder einiger Zeugen hat.
Vielleicht haben wir Glück und finden heraus wer sie waren. Ich denke, dass es ein langer Weg ist/wird.

Als wir gestern mit dem Polizisten geredet hatten, wusste er nichts von den Fahrern. Zudem war Dirk nicht in der Lage zu erzählen was überhaupt genau passiert ist.

@Whelp/QueenVamp
Sry, i don't know Whelp, but i hope his physical situation will be better!! I also hope that the 2 riders will be caught by the police. (So they can learn from their faults)

Best whishes

Der Unfall war durch 2 Motorradfahrer verursacht, die in der Mitte der Strasse gefahren sind.

Nicht Motorradfahrer, sondern Fahrradfahrer die nebeneinander in der Kurve gefahren sind

...und der Unfall ereignete sich in dieser Kurve

@ mikee

So wie ich das heute verstanden habe, sind die beiden Radler wohl an der Unfallstelle geblieben und haben auch den Rettungswagen gerufen und sind nach dessen eintreffen weiter gefahren.

Ups, da habe ich wohl nicht aufgepasst. Habs eben mal schnell geändert. Danke

Martin I don't think you understood it was 'Fahrradfahrer'.

He always makes sure if it is safe or not to overtake. He did not see the bicycles riding in the middle of the road since he was going around a curve.

He had to pass on the outside of the road because of where they were.

They caused a very dangerous situation.

What if it had been a car and ran into them?

[pimpel]

OMG
Ich hatte es erst auch flasch verstanden. Man ey ich reg mich jedes mal über die Radfahrer auf, aber das ist die härte. Abgesehen davon das die auf ne B nix zu suchen haben, müssen die grundsätzlich nebeneinander fahren!

[svfighter]

gute besserung

[Martin650]

I understood it very well, but it doesn't matter. The Police will see Dirk as a racer, and I'm sure that won't change if they catch the two cyclists.

Martin, I don't understand what your problem is that you speak so negative.

He in fact was going the speed limit, and had passed a police radar station with no problems. The bicyclists were driving illegally, and if it was a car instead of a motorbike coming behind them on that curve I am sure both bicyclists would be dead now.

Please be supportive of your fellow motorbike riders!

[Martin650]

I don't speak negative, thats reality. You're right, when you say, that the two cyclists will be dead if Dirk drove a car, but I don't think that they will punish them for driving not in a row. The reality is that way, sorry. I hope that Dirk will recover completely, but I don't think that he will get anything from a insurance company.
