What did friends and family say after you binned?

[Hitcher]

For those of you who have binned badly, how did your friends and family react afterwards?

Were they supportive and understanding?
Did they try and talk you out of ever biking again?
Was there any difference between bikers and non-bikers?

Mrs H and I would be most interested in your experiences.

The poll lets you tick more than one box, if appropriate.

[Sniper]

Umm, mum was really supportive, and dad just gave me a clip and told me not to do it again

[manuboy]

"I told you so"

"Damn Bikes"

"Idiot"

"You are never riding again"

"Damn Bikes"

[Hitcher]

Bugger! The message part of this must have posted while I was setting up the poll...

[Riff Raff]

I haven't binned badly - but I have broken bones from minor bins! My mum and dad have given up lecturing me. But I have had friends (non-motorbiking) who say things like, 'ah now you're going to see reason and stop riding that dangerous bla bla bla bla bla...' and 'Told you so bla bla bla bla'. I switch off from their rantings, thank them for their concern and continue to do what I want.

[jrandom]

"See, I SAID you were going to crash. Obviously you can't stop yourself from riding like a twat. Either that, or you have no control over what happens because homicidal psychopaths keep taking you out, which is even WORSE. But who cares anyway, I'm already resigned to you dying."

"I think the first thing I buy with your life insurance cash will be a lounge suite... or perhaps an Audi. Yes, an Audi. I wonder if I could afford an RS4."

[riffer]

"I told you so"
"Damn Bikes"
"Idiot"
"You are never riding again"
"Damn Bikes"


Yup. Had 'em all.

One of the funniest things is my ex is constantly telling my boy Zach he is never allowed to ride or own a motorcycle. This from the woman who taught me how to ride horses fast.

[750Y]

my mother told me a few years back after a decent accident... "you have to get back on the horse".

[James Deuce]

Universal derision from the non-bikers.

Understanding and encouragement from the bikers.

Long suffering understanding coupled with derisory comments from Heather.

[Coyote]

Haven't had a serious bin, but my brother broke his leg in his first MX race. My Dad hasn't had a problem with him wanting to get back on the bike. but my Mum has always been worried about us biking

[avgas]

it was a decision that i had to make at the end of day, my family didnt back me up in any way (even my dad, who rides), but i dont wait for family support anymore - you either live your own life, or listen to someone else's

[bugjuice]

my bro trashed my old bike that I had just sold this Chrimbo just gone, and badly messed up his leg. I got immediate pressure from friends and family wanting me to sell up for 4 wheels, even my bro has said it too.. I just point out that sometimes, shit happens. My dad broke his foot slipping off a wet step, not that he rides, but shit happens and you have to live for today, else you'll never have fun.

I feel lucky *touch wood* that I haven't seriously binned it yet. Worst I've done is slipped on gravel and laid it down. Should have had oggy nobs which would have saved a new spray job, but they still haven't turned up yet, ay Mt Eden? Even that 'little' fall still hurt for a couple of days after.

I also work with a friend who races a ZX10 and has had 14 crashes over the past few years (ironically, 'not his fault') and altho his family would rather he didn't, so far, every time he's back in the seat..

Hat comes off to those who have tasted tarmac, but I believe when your card is up, it's up.. till then, keep rockin :headbang:

:ar15: will show her!!

[Ms Piggy]

Upon binning and breaking my pinky finger in 3 places I got lots of horrified looks and shaking of heads but also a relaisation that I was going to keep riding anyway.

What have firends & family said to Jane so far Hitcher?

[White trash]

As I come from a family of riders, I've been told "You stupid c#Xt! Why'd ya do that?!"

Then they've been supportive of my decision not to ride for a while but encouraged me to get back on a bike.

[Biff]

I've never had an "off" since I was about 18 or 19. But at the time my mother was an' "I told you so" kinda lady, but accepted that I was too stubborn to listen so I was just told to take my time.

[**R1**]

:Oops: so many bins, and even more lectures.....and since i have bought a dirtbike and come home broken in some way or another every weekend the wife thinks im trying to cripple myself on purpose.....but my mum and the rest of my family have all given up.....the worst thing is my kids think its normal to fall off a lot :devil2: , coz if it aint me its a mate or an uncle or a bro(bikes are big in my family) thats in plaster.....man i love bikes :love: :love:

[NinjaBoy]

Wife was completely dis-interested. Took about a week before she really realised how serious the bin was. Maybe it had something to do with me leaving out vital details. :sly:

However, god bless her, she has no prevented me from getting another bike. Although with a long list of restrictions eg update life insurance, not allowed anything bigger, do an advanced riding course etc...

My workmates are the ones giving the really hard time though. Although they don't count when making the decision. Good to know they care though.

The sad thing is that the kids think its normal for the motorbike to sitting broken in the garage. They've only seen it going for about 6 months. :disapint:

[vifferman]

I'm racking my brains (such as they are...) to remember what was said to me on some of the occasions I binned, but I can't remember. I think that just shows how little attention I paid to what was said...

I've only binned badly(ish) once, writing off my first bike, and it was when I was still at school, so understandably my parents were a bit pissed off and worried. However, from memory (such as it is), they were not as opposed to my second bike as my first one.

The only thing I can remember is when I wrote off my VFR750 when my wife was away overseas, and didn't tell her. When she got back a few days later and I "ouch!"ed when she climbed into bed, she was a bit pissed off, mainly because I didn't ring her to tell her (which is because I didn't want to worry her while she was away). However, one other time, when I crashed on the way to meet her for lunch and so didn't make it, she was pissed off just because I didn't turn up. The next time I was late for lunch, she said, "How come you're late? You didn't crash, did you?"
"Ahhh... yes." :(
"Oh."
So she was learning. As was I: lunchtimes with my wife are potentially hazardous to my health. :eek:

I'd have to say that non-bikers were the least sympathetic, and the most 'anti' in their comments, with the general theme being, "See! I told you bikes were dangerous!"

The person who's given me the most grief (apart from my wife) is Kerrie at MSW, who thinks I'm a serial crasher. :laugh: I went in there yesterday to get the zip in my pants replaced, and she goes, "What have you done this time?!?" :spudwhat: Sheesh!! Have a little faith, Kerrie!

[riffer]

Our 5 year old, Tim, has now seen both myself and Frosty, and our bikes after reasonably serious bins. Not to mention being told about Jim2's bin repeatedly by Jim2's son.

He just reckons its normal. Bikes fall over.

But he reckons its what makes them cool. And that's why not everyone rides them. "Cause they aren't tough like MY dad..."

Ah kids. :whistle: Bless 'em.

Nothing I have'nt heard before, been riding horses for ten years off and on.
Still bloody hurts when you come off, be it bike or horse.
My family still thinks horses are dangerous.....still it is the only sport I can think of where you have two minds that need to work together, and if the horse decides 'no' it's all out the window. :yes:

[jrandom]

[2_SL0]

All my bins I have managed to keep quiet from family (parents, brother etc) apart from my wife. Its just not worth the "Bikes are BAD" statements.

[loosebruce]

I dunno think the family and girl would rather em not ride, but thats not an option.
After my recent off my call to my mum went something like this.

Me: Hi Mum
Mum: You in bloody hospital again, it's the only time you bloody ring me
Me: Yeah, i'm okay though, i broke both my hands but other than that i'm fine.
Mum: When you going to learn boy, what do you think i'll do if you're not around.
Me: Worry less
Mum: So hows the bike
Me: Toast but it'll live again, shouldn't be too hard to fix
Mum: Damn

[NC]

"Oh Roooo, are you ok?"

"Oh fuck, are you ok?"

"How fucked is the bike, are you sweet?"

"That was fucken wicked! Lets do it again!"

[SuperDave]

I've binned once close to a mates house. So I pushed the bike back to his house and gave my parents a call at home, spoke to my dad and I think it went something like this:

"Hi dad, I fell off the bike, I'm okay though but I dont know if I screwed the bike up internally or something, it still starts though."

"Oh okay, the bikes fine, you alright to ride it home?"

I ended up riding the bike home from Meadowbank to the Shore :laugh:
I asked dad why his reaction was so calm about it all, his responded saying that he knew I was going to fall off sooner or later.

[Motu]

I can't remember any drama either,so it must of been pretty cool.I know my mother was concerned about me,I often got the ''you be careful out there now'',but she got me my first bike and was supportive of my riding,where ever and whatever.In every prang I have got back on my bike straight away,or the next day.In my first prang after 3 weeks on the road when I stuffed the Bantam into the side of an Austin she came down and helped me sort it out with the guy,cause I was a dumb 16 yr old.She grew up with horses in the days before safety was invented,she saw no harm in anything....only the results.

[Gen]

OK, what *is* it with girls and horses?

Hate the things, myself. Nasty smelly stupid unpredictable beasts. Shudder. They're not even particularly good to eat.

With an experienced rider, who knows the horse, they are very predictable.
They are clever, brave and intelligent, ever seen the olympics? the horse needs to know the job just as well as the rider.

If you're horse smells, give it a bath (grins). :shake:

And they are tons of fun to gallop along with the wind in your hair and sail over a jump.Such power.And they are cuddly (sigh) :love:

[Gen]

At least on a motorcycle, you have the gear

yes but the chances are higher that you will fall off at a greater speed on a bike, and the road is not nice to fall on, no matter what you are wearing.

[Blakamin]

lean into a corner and ya fall off the bastards
they dont counter-steer properly
they never brake in a straight line
their seats suck
ya cant kick start them and then let them idle
and you'd look a right dick if you jumped on with an Arai and a set of "violators" :beer:

Had to laugh at that.

If you're bike could talk it would probably say, 'stop fucking kicking me in the guts already!' heh.

Or something along those lines.

Unless it was a s bloodthirsty as it's rider??! then it could all be good. (nods).

[Blackbird]

I had a low speed "off" on the Blackbird just after I got it but it still cost $700 to fix. My wife was absolutely fantastic and said almost nothing because she saw that I was close to tears after dropping my "baby". :crybaby: As with mates everywhere, my riding partners gave me unabated hell for several days and them progressively told me their war stories which they'd kept quiet about up to then. :eek:

Geoff

[FROSTY]

a down to earth acceptance of my injuries. Bikes are too much a poart of who I am to bother even trying.

[Skunk]

My wife supplied me my first bike (it was hers - and she's been stealing mine ever since :) ) so she never says a thing.

I don't hear anyone else... :moon:

[MOTOXXX]

when i had my only road crash, mum and dad and little bro came to hospital.
the old man and mum were fine and asked if i was ok. they have both had crashes before, the little bro got shaken up a little and kinda went quiet.
its good having parents that ride and know what ur going through.

i had a lot of friends ask me if i was going to ride again. They said i was crazy when i said yes. I said that i could fall in the shower and break my neck but im not gona stop showering am i :rockon:

when i heard about sparkys crash the first thing i did was ring him to see how he was and how the bike was. I was just happy he didnt bin too bad and that hes ok.

[MacD]

My workmates are the ones giving the really hard time though. Although they don't count when making the decision. Good to know they care though.


The workmate who gives me the hardest time about riding a motorbike, rides to work daily into central Auckland on a bicycle wearing nothing much more than a few microns of lycra and a piece of polystyrene on his head! Go figure!? :wacko:

[Joni]

When I came off seriously, it was actually amazing how everyone just came together. My father was there within 15 minutes sorting my bike out so I dont have to worry... my mother lol, was making sure I looked ok, bless her..... All my friends stayed in the hospital that night.... my shoulder was pretty stuffed and the concussion was no joke. When I was given the all clear, my father and friends had a barbecue/get together, and gave me the keys to a loan bike.... they all agreed, there's no way you can give something up that brings you that much happiness!!!

[Gixxer 4 ever]

It was not to bad a bin. Some red stuff and black and blue bits but no sticky out bone stuff so I guess it was not all bad.

Wifey..... Well you got to do what you got to do :love2:
Sons...... Shit happens but get back on it :2thumbsup
Daughter ..Daddy .....( 15 at the time )...........What can you say to that. Darn they have the power. :angry: :yes: :hug:

[FlyingDutchMan]

My flatmate calls me an organ doner, but apart from that I don't get any shit/hasseling. I'm pretty sure my parents disapprove of me having a MC, but they haven't actually said anything. The funniest thing was when my mum saw the plastic welding I had done and thought it was artistic instead holding the fairings together!

I work with a gaggle of those, and everytime they start, I get the picture of raw meat from drawer, show it to them, chuckle in a slightly maniacal way, and then do the Hannibal Lecter slurpy thing.

They STFU rather quickly.

[vtec]

Hehe, good topic.

It took me about 3 months riding before my first bin, and my dad who rides just explained to me how it was for him when he was younger. He said that it took him about 3 months after each crash to get cocky again and thats when he would come off...every three months like clockwork, I haven't been that bad though. Haven't come close to writing one off yet. Just keep digging deeper into my crank case. Most not my fault though. I commute in Auckland traffic every working day, so I would have thought that I would have had worse odds than my dad when he was younger, although I have better roads, and better equipment. (He had a BSA lightning amongst others)

[LB]

Had one reasonably serious crash many (many!) years ago - friends and family were all very caring and supportive, even my workmates (who didn't understand why I rode) were supportive.

Anyone who knows me knows what riding means to me and don't question it, even if they don't understand it.

[Holy Roller]

After my head on (nearly 10 yrs ago now) The Mrs was thankful that I was OK, she was in a cage just in front but did not see the accident. A helpful soul phoned her to come pick me up. Her only concern was that I had broken something which I assured her that I had not. Xrays proved me right but being an adult student I could have done without the extra cost. As soon as I could move again once the ribs had settled down my mate and I recovered the bike which I rebuilt and got back in the saddle before I was fully healed.
My last off about 4 years ago was on a hairpin on the Rotoma's after some truck left a bit of diesel behind, broke my nose in that one.

You can carry a 10 gauge solid shot kill switch with you, and have an impromptu BBQ at any given point during the ride.

[Waylander]

had abit of a wreck on my 250 rebel just before i got my virago, was riding down the rode wasnt paying particular attention at the time when the car in front of me slammed the brakes to avoid something. My bike went straight into the rear bumber and i went over the top of the car. I was fine the bikes front end was mangled though and barely a dent on the car. Still fixing the rebel but im only doing it as a project for the hell of it and some practice at customizing
good thing out of the wreck was i dated the chick that i hit for a few years
mum wasnt to thrilled though but i wasnt gonna let her stop me

You know, running into the back of a car that brakes in front of you is the classic "Sell your bike and start taking the bus" accident. I only know one person who did that (he was on a GN250) and believe me, he should never have bought a motorcycle in the first place. Fortunately, he did exactly what he should have (sold it and went back to taking the bus).

Hopefully you got a few good insights into good riding technique from your mistake. :)

And it's great that you have the balls to straight-up admit doing it.

Of course, if you stretch a definition, I've had the same accident myself.

But I think my implied moronicity was overriden by style points from doing a death stoppie pre-impact.

well man nothin is gonna stop me from riding its in my blood now and i have learnd from my mistake. nowadays i spend my time enjoying the ride but im always on the lookout for the wreck thats gonna kill me so i can avoid it

[Riff Raff]

had abit of a wreck on my 250 rebel just before i got my virago
Ooh, ooh, ooh - you don't have a spare end bar weight do you? One of mine fell off on SH22 and wouldn't you know it, FF is too busy enjoying the riding there to be bothered to go looking for it for me!

[Slipstream]

As I come from a family of riders, I've been told "You stupid c#Xt! Why'd ya do that?!"

Then they've been supportive of my decision not to ride for a while but encouraged me to get back on a bike.

Encouragement? Do you mean like, when they made bets on how long it would take you to get back on a bike, after your statement of "I'm never getting on a bike again". With supportive comments like "Soft C**K ".

BTW, I think your brother won at 1 week (earliest time that the cast came off)

You're right tho. :yes:
If you come from a family of riders, then they are much more supportive and encouraging.
I didn't come from a family of riders...infact it was practically a dirty word on my mothers side of the family.
When I had my first bike accident, I had a lot of "I told you so's" and "That'll teach you" :disapint:

My youngest (2 1/2yrs) was riding her bike today, and just learnt how to pedal and steer by herself. After exclaiming of how proud of her I was, she asked if she could ride a motorbike like Daddy now.

I wonder what I'm going to say when she has her first motorbike accident?
I wonder what Daddy is going to do when she has her first motorbike accident. (I'm told it's different reactions for daughters than for sons.) :yeah:

mmm I dont have a bike and havent riden one for 2 months now :(

even with that one of my mates took it a bit too far trying to tell me that bikes are death traps and that i shouldnt ride them...

things like
"Your going to fucking die"
and over months it got to well he threatened to kill me if he saw me riding a bike
"Ill fucking run you into oncoming traffic" and "Ill open up my door on ya"

Dosent take a rocket scientist to figure out that hes not my mate anymore :kick:

My parents however dont mind me riding bikes, they know im sensible when it comes to riding/driving so I think that they trust me :bleh:

One day Ill actually buy a bike, ohnest

[Skunk]

things like
"Your going to fucking die"
and over months it got to well he threatened to kill me if he saw me riding a bike
"Ill fucking run you into oncoming traffic" and "Ill open up my door on ya"So he's making sure his prediction will come true... :mad:
If he was a mate he'd be saying "no cage will get you while I'm around" and make THAT come true.

[GN1NiteStnd]

The first time my mother found out that i came off my bike she was like: I told you they were dangerous, why dont you get a car licence instead, why wasnt i the first to know, why did i have to find out about it from my work mates(-when i happened at our work while she wasnt there!), blah, blah, blah...

Didnt stop me from riding.
Just like her rantings didnt stop me riding after ten, or with no license, no reg and no wof.

[Beemer]

Thankfully the only off I've ever had was on a dirt bike and although I have lasting pain in my left elbow when I lean on it, the bike only got scratched.

My mother is fine with me riding a bike NOW, but when I was 15 and two of my female friends had bikes, she refused to let me have one because she'd seen my brother come off so many times. Now she's quite proud of the fact her daughter rides a motorcycle, but I know she'd be upset if I crashed.

I've never really been into girly sports - I did karate for years and was always coming home with bruises and broken bones in my hands and feet. And the only crash I've ever been in was after taking up codriving in a rally car! The harness saved me from any real damage, but I got a massive bruise on my upper arm and a cut hand. A bank teller said to me "gee, did your husband do that?" I was single at the time and said not only did I not have a husband, but if I did and he ever laid a finger on me, he'd be in a much worse state!

I don't think my husband's parents have any problem with him riding - he's been riding for more than 20 years and has never (touch wood) had a serious accident so I don't think they worry about him much.
