Re: how many off's have you had
3 on the road, 1 on the track
so basicly my myth is far larger than the facts |

Re: how many off's have you had
how do I explain the myth that you are, maybe over a drink or two at the GM.

Re: how many off's have you had
Only one on the road. bottled it on a corner, straightened up, hit the curb, flew over a Garden hedge next to a bloke mowing his lawn. "**** off" he said, "Its Sunday, I'm mowing my lawn". i ****ed off.
Had one bad one on the track, left me with a hole just above my areshole. Don't want to talk about it :-/ |

Re: how many off's have you had
i've had a long time to think and i can remember 4. one was a wheelie gone wrong, another was i crashed into the back of a parked mini, i had a low side on a bend that my rather square rear tyre got stuck in a large open tar joint, another low side in the middle of Princes Street in Edinburgh taking a corner to fast late for work and it was pizzing down, not a crash but i smacked my nutzz off a petrol tank doing a stoppie when my feet slid of the pegs. all these were in my teens. i'm sure there are more but i cant remember.

how many off's have you had
I'm 2 for 2 here. I put my gsxr600 in a tree (literally) when a car decided to do a u turn as I was overtaking. Completely smashed the front end which obliterated the front left caliper and my left knee!
Second was a white van changing lanes directly into the side of me on a dual carriageway, did more damage to me than the bike but uneconomical to repair by insurance company, broke both my thumbs, gravel rash on my ar$€ and hips, again screwed my left knee leaving me with a scar bigger than my hand and damaging some ligaments in my shoulder! |
