Re: OK, so who hasnt yet fell off a motorcycle?

I've had three. So if, as they reckon, everybody has one...............two people somewhere owe me big time for having theirs for them!

Re: OK, so who hasnt yet fell off a motorcycle?

I've lost count of how many I've had, put it this way, I've had about 14 bikes in all my years of riding on the road and only 3 of them I didn't crash...

Re: OK, so who hasnt yet fell off a motorcycle?

on the trials bike

forgot the camera

Re: OK, so who hasnt yet fell off a motorcycle?

I've not came off once in my three and a half years on the road.
the few years before that on the field saw some good ones though.
I've had a "I dont know how the hell you held onto that" when i clipped my kneecap on a stationery car brakelight, then catching both my gear lever and handlebar on the car boot.
i still dont know how i did it, And all i can remember is thinking "i need to get my shoe back" when it had been knocked off the gearlever.
Hopefully there will be many more years of crashless riding though, I dont fancy trying to upstage you lot :P

Re: OK, so who hasnt yet fell off a motorcycle?

Dropped my cbr600 twice in the same petrol station??? and later went on to write her off but i`m not sure that was officially my fault.... was a kamikaze pheasant flying into me and totally knocking me out. Me an my bike ended up in a 10 foot ditch but I was very lucky to escape with the injuries i had, could`ve been a lot worse. Worst mistake was not getting back on a bike for 2 years but am so glad i`ve now finally done it and i picked a fantastic bike for restoring my confidence, just wish i`d done it sooner :)

Well people seem to be putting down how many times they have crashed!

1st time was in the strinds in the peak district on my Honda VT250F, i was turning right on a junction, when i got onto the road i was turing to i found there was mud everywhere from a tractor the bike just went from under me... no chance!

2nd VT250 again, was doing 20MPH comming upto a parked car touched breaks to stop for oncomming traffic BAM on the floor faster than can be imagined. Diesel.

3rd The SV650s, Going around a blind corner at 45 in a 60 zone, dont know why i was cruising tbh! MAD, glad i did because some cretin pulled outin a transit pickup across me (from a mud track which was blocked off, he had parked in the small space and taken out his quads! NOB). I slammed on the brakes pulled to the pavement but stull clipped him with my right hand and right side of bike. How i stayed on is beyond me as i was kinda facing sidways from the impact :S

That one hurt a fair bit... + i lost the bike while it was gettig fixed.

Locked the front going downhill on gravel. My protective shorts and t-shirt held up well, to the point of filling my hands and knees with gravel (they remove it with a wire brush). Happy days

Re: OK, so who hasnt yet fell off a motorcycle?

Haven't crashed my SV although I did gift wrap a taxi with my Aprilia 125rs back about 5/6yrs ago. Right knee still cringes in the cold to this day..

Re: OK, so who hasnt yet fell off a motorcycle?

Would anyone believe me if I said no :?:
