That's not all of them! TLW, Haggis, Venom had a little knock and I;m sure there's a few more...

Is it the wet weather or are cage drivers just wearing blinkers as a growing fashion trend :-(

Ride safe everyone.

Where's the poll then? :p

My last off was May 2007. Looked at cliff instead of road, rode bike into cliff. Bike written off, me slightly battered. See here http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?p=1197299

Before that I managed 10 years without a crash.


EDIT: Poll put up while I was typing!

Thats one explaination.

The other may be that with the Government wearing blinkers so that they only see speeding as the cause of accidents, and they now have that covered by cameras, they can downsize the Traffic Divisions of the various Police forces.

I discovered the other week that South London has only 8 Traffic officers.

So, cage drivers do stupid things, get away with it, so go on to do other stupid things, so we then end up with the situation we are now in.

I've never been knocked off in five years. NOW I'm cursed. I've dropped them countless times, and caused my own little personal crash, but thats it.

SK speaks the truth. I've always observed a lot of crummy driving, but its getting worse. Especially arrogant rich ****s in big expensive cars with personalised plates. Grrrr.

It does make me mad that the govt don't appear to be addressing this issue - or that they haven't even realised that it is an issue.

You gonna run for office SK? :p
