We all have the odd "off", just wondering where the majority of spills take place?

my first thought was "wonder who's gonna post before the poll is up"? and you put something I missed out!! Darn it.

An option 'On my own driveway etc' might have been interesting. 2 Out of my 4 incidents took place there.

Yes,
um.... people who haven't ever "lain it down" can't really post on a bin poll.

Binned a 4 month old CBR600 on the Napier Taihape Rd coming back from the Cold Kiwi, the snow had levelled across the road and could gauge where the road went by the fence posts protruding through the snow. I struck ice under the snow, front wheel slid away and I was using the fairing as a bobsled.:crybaby:

First bin - knocked off by a car while commuting.
Second bin - front wheel slid left on a white line in a rainstorm while I was trying to go right. Commuting.
Third bin - had just fitted a straight (but used) front end to the missus bike and took it for a test ride. didn't recognise the brand of tyre. Front wheel slid right when I tried to go left.
Fourth bin (rider not present) parked the bike in front of the garage door - didn't realise how close to the garage door. Went inside and opened garage door. Garage door lifts bike off it's side stand and dumps it in the flower bed.

First as a newbie I was hit by a car at an intersection. Then I had a few where I blame being young and stupid. All a long time ago - hope that remains true..

My most recent bins. First was during F3 practice at a PMCC round. A guy threw his brand new SV650 at the trye wall and it collected me on the rebound. Broke my thumb and damaged my shoulder. Five weeks later, coming home from Cold Duck I hit some oil on a roundabout and kissed the bitumen. Nothing broken...just very sore. :mellow:

Ooh this is gonna hurt... lemme see... out riding second day with The_Dover and I fark a corner up and laid it on its side in the mud. I guess riding and getting hit in the head by a kamikaze duck led to me falling off my bike in spectacular style.
Planting a hondaberry in the bank by a punga tree 7m down Twilight road whilst out and about with McJim...and... oof... lowsiding off a corner coming back from Raglan (in the night, with the rain and wind... wheee!)
All that in under 11 months of riding :sweatdrop
I'm cutting out that fun stuff now! :whistle: :innocent:

Hi there, not been on here is ages, but other than dropping it on the driveway a couple of times, the only other off I had was on the M25 - the motorway round London, in very heavy traffic in the middle of winter (boxing day) and soom guy decided he prefered my lane to his. I managed to have the accident accross 4 lanes without hitting anything other than the tarmac, got away with a dislocated shoulder.

In the 80s....
- Riding home after buying my first pair of wet trousers (nice knee hole).
- At work (courier).
- A group ride to inaugurate my wife's brand new CB250 - she rear-ended me.
... About half a dozen others that I can't remember.
None since. Hopefully to continue :innocent:
