Unexpected Spanish inquisition
Well I ticked the 'no crash' box, had bike licence for about 33 years and been riding them for more than that and only had the usual noob bins which resulted in cosmetic damage to bike and at worse a wee bit of gravel rash to me, so considering Ixion is talking injury accidents I guess none of my early exploratory forays count. And that includes track & off-road riding as well!
Touch wood, I'm not looking to increase my count any time soon.

Been riding for about 35 years (a bit off & on at times) and had a "few" on road crashes but never any real (needing treatment) injury, I've been lucky I suspect given where I've ended up at times...
Off road & adventure riding on the other hand is littered with bits of bikes & me, sprained ankles, sore backs, cracked ribs, knackered knees and abrasions in places you'd have to wonder about. Having said that, the only ACC claim was for the ankle and that was only 2 doctors visits, it was a bastard working on a construction site when you can only stand on one leg tho.

Riding on and off for 21 years. 1 broken wrist, 4 cracked vertebrae and a head injury. One stretch mark from hell from a race track incident that involved folding my right leg behind my left shoulder at high speed.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Been riding with a licence for 32 years. Always have had at least 1 road legal bike. Had 2 monor offs. The first was in gravel when I was 16 on the summit road above Christchurch. The second was going into Naseby on the way to the Brass about 10 years ago. Never actually injured myself, never been to a doc, or had an ACC claim while riding.
parting of the sensory
Injury crashes (requiring a hospital or doctor's visit) have been few. I wrote off my first bike the day after my 17th birthday when I t-boned a car that failed to give way (but it was just as much my fault).
I've run over a cyclist, a pedestrian, a squashed can (lowside) and the odd car without significant injury.
Wrote off my fourth bike when a car u-turned into me. Just bruising and maybe a broken heel bone (not x-rayed or treated, but still hurts some 6 years later).
I've never crashed on the open road, or going faster'n about 65km/h.
Communtering can be dangerous.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....
BogOff-Cant you see I'm busy?
I think it's the over 40s who have not ridden for 20 years that are the problem.
If you have been riding for 20 years plus, then the fact that you are still alive means that you have to have learnt some skills and gained experience.
IMO - 40 year olds in this category must be in the lowest risk accident group.
Not just another revolutionary
Thats a relief! 50 years old - one injury road crash in about 1980 cracked ribs.
Heaps of track prangs - averaging 1.5 per year in the Supermoto class, which is probably lower than most in that class but injuries are usualy minor.
Sadly I have had 2 mates killed in road crashes.
Weekend cruiser
1 side swipe on a Ford Seirra (f'n ugly car to start with)... but no injuries after 20+ years... I'm pretty good (so far, and need no further tests) at dodging, ducking, weaving and swearing.
had a off on dirt/sand and brusied me hip... but that's what dirt riding is for.
gee wizzz

Hmmm - license 1967......odd minor offs, but no injuries until GSXR1000 into bank and severe sprained ankle and cracked rib in '05, then 'roo into ZX9R and another cracked rib in '06......so.......42 yrs, less 12 yrs with kids and no bike = 30 yrs/2 incidents.....15yrs per (minor) injury accident?

Bugger me. Those stat's are interesting (as they currently stand).
Could theliars(oops!) "public servants" be telling us some untruths?

Not necessarily:
Not to mention, of course, that the "old buggers" who've been killing themselves off, are, of course, dead. And therefore unable to vote.
