    The post by a pommie newby got me wondering, poll results should be interesting. He's got himself a brand spanking new 1200 Bandit for a first bike!

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Yes, but then you've changed the title of your thread.

    A bike is something you pedal. I got my first bike at 10. I fell off almost immediately. Then I got training wheels.

    Arrow You know I had never thought about it.

    Well untill now. Touch wood, but once getting my full bike licience way back, I have not come off my bike since.
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

    the day i passed me part two test on a kawasaki ar80!!!, flyin home at a killer 55mph, straight into the back of a mercedes, full swan dive over the car, flat out on road in front of the car, not so much as a scratch, bike written off, £300 to respray merc boot due to a tiny scratch off the zip on my leather jacket!!.
    painful experience financially, but touch wood never come off since, get it out the way early I say

    My first two crashes were BEFORE I got my full licence. Then the cop who tested me for my licence was the same one who attended my first crash.
