Drop twice, off twice.
2 drops and 1 off within the first 12 months. Everyone does it, its the motorcycling law. Everyone has a bag full bag of luck and an empty one of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before the luck runs out!

2 offs, both low speed, both front end, 1st one entirely unforced error in the wet at low speed a few months after passing, 2nd one taught me to look out for traffic islands with a bit more care Was following a mate, he went round a car, so did I, he popped in in front of it.... and revealed the traffic island in front of me. I managed to scrub off all but a few miles an hour on the wet surface but decided not to ram it head on and put the bike on it's side (Presumably thinking hitting the sump would be better  ) Few scuffs and a broken footpeg plate. Valuable lesson learned, crash free since

2nd day of riding, small spill at 15mph around a sunny&wet roundabout. Only hurt pocket & pride.
Quite annoying because I don't know what went wrong..bike just disappeared from under me. Just comes down to experience I suppose, of which I have nowt. |
