OK, so who hasnt yet fell off a motorcycle?

Try it!

Ive had 3, a slow speed one where I tried to ride onto a grass verge at an angle without realising there was a kerb under it which threw me onto the deck, a slighter faster one where I got t boned by a lady driver who not only knocked me off but then proceded to then drive onto me therefore trapping me under the front spoiler before deciding to leave the scene, she had to reverse back about 10 ft I think before I popped out and then nearly ran over me in the road as she made her escape and was also on the back of me mates RD 400 when I suddely became airborne and hit a post office van with me head at reasonable velocity, god bless Bell helmets.

I've fallen off too many times to recall most of them were on my 125, last one was nearly 3 years ago did a bit of a superman impression when it went down and landed on my head and shoulder result was dislocated shoulder and skinned knees cos i wa only wearing jeans

See my signature! I'm getting better but then I'm no longer doing 1000+ miles a week!!


I WILL make it to 365 days!

The only time I dropped it was test riding the 675 on a cold wet February (before it was launched) on Supercorsa pros. Idiot, what was I thinking try to get knee down! I've had some near misses on track and road but kept shining side up so far. Touches wood

Everyone falls off eventually. I've had 2 offs that resulted in the bike being written off and one low speed drop practising u-turns (Voluntarily practising, bizarrely - that'll learn me!)

If you're not falling off, you're not trying hard enough. Or is that just off-roading?

3 1/2 years riding, about 10 trackdays + a superbike school and still no offs!

Same here, and if your luck is anything like mine I bet those other three got nicked

I don't even want to think about averages, I know there was only 4000 miles between the last two
