    Never on this one .... and the last time was in 1984 !! Nice front tyre blow-out on my GS550 !! low speed, high cost.... hit the wall of the on-ramp by the Ferry Terminal in Welly !!a nice big solid concrete one at that ... :confused2 ... The first was so long ago it hardly counts .....again only a small one and this one was driver error...... I knew there were road works at that spot but still shot through too quick..... and...off... !! was very angry with myself too...

    Most of my crashes (over a 7 year period) have been thanks to dodgy tyres (you'd think I'd learn...).

    Also, there was one incident (back in the learner days) when I got my GN125's handlebar stuck on a lorry's bumper while filtering through traffic..

    Must have fallen off about 15 times in the first year(seriously),learnt the hard way but did learn and the last one was in 1979,that was a learner driver who`s foot slipped off the clutch and shot out directly in front of me.Since then and averaging 20,000km in all weathers not so much as dropped a bike.Loads of near misses though and take nothing for granted,still got a bit of tar in my face from my first biggie.

    Bahahahaha

    Had a similar experience on my bmx when I was about 10. This girl I quite liked walked past the bmx course as I was about to start a run, so put in a bit to much effort on the first jump. Unintentional backflip resulting in me being knocked out by the handlebars, two black eyes and a bloody face.

    Mates pissed themselves laughing, particular as the girl just kept walking while I lay in a bloody mess.

    Well 3 on the road but the way i see it....
    first two were in the first 2 weeks of riding so they dont count.
    Next one was in my driveway so doesn't count
    And last on was in the coro.... sa in a different are code so doesn't count

    So if you look at it i have never crashed
    Lump lingered last in line for brains,
    And the ones she got were sort of rotten and insane...

    Not couting the times I've dropped the bike off the stand, None in the first two years of riding, then 1 slow speed off on a roundabout in the wet. Then the last one in Nov '04 which wrote off the bike.

    Hmmm. Fell off doing a u-turn on my first ever long m/c ride on the CJ250T, Woodbourne-Whenuapai. Slid into a gutter on the Napier/Taupo Rd in the wet one winter.

    Hit the back of a trailer at the Hobsoville Air Base gate, blinded by the sun, on the cb400t.

    on the CB650 custom in a period of 12 months.Got hit by a car in Nelson while on my crissy holidays, came off in cow shit on the Mapua corner a few days later, felll off the road on the Napier Taupo on with a vastly overtired rear, just sat up watching it bouncing down the road laughing my tits off. Not injured that time either, bike needed a bit of attention though.

    Non on th gsx750ez-mates kept falling of the road though-good cickle that was wished I'd kept it.

    Non on the CX500, quite an underated cycle by many, but it stopped for no reason in the middle of nowhere often, i think it ended up being rust fromthe tank in the accelerator pump. Met a couple from south africa in Bulls doing a tour of NZ with the same prob and sorted it out at my flat garage at OH.

    Hit by a car side on, doing around 40-45 kmh, thank goodness, in Wiapuk on the Integra with 80kms up, broken tib and fib,not too much damage to the bike funnily enough-try putting your sideside down in a situation like that. Had a few beers one night and decided I was going to ride up to Auckland from Ohakea and fell in another ditch before Taihape, promply sobered up, push it out and rode back to OH with no real damage apart from my pride. It was dark, wet, i was pissed, fell off the road go figure.

    Cb550s been in far too many backroad ditches to remember. Keeps coming back for more.

    Non on the gasaxe 750ex YET touch wood.

    I think thats it.

    I've lived a life that's full.
    I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;
    And more, much more than this,
    I did it my way.

    Regrets, I've had a few;
    But then again, too few to mention.
    I did what I had to do
    And saw it through without exemption.

    I planned each charted course;
    Each careful step along the byway,
    But more, much more than this,
    I did it my way.

    Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
    When I bit off more than I could chew.
    But through it all, when there was doubt,
    I ate it up and spit it out.
    I faced it all and I stood tall;
    And did it my way.

    I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
    I've had my fill; my share of losing.
    And now, as tears subside,
    I find it all so amusing.
    In and out of jobs, running free
    Waging war with society

    Twice, and I've been riding for about a year. The first time was on the way to my restricted licence test, going around a tight roundabout in the early morning. I leaned over a bit too enthusiastically resulting in the peg digging in and the rear wheel losing grip. It was at less than 20km/h and the only damage was the right mirror broke out of the thread, but there was just enough thread left for me to screw it back in and go and pass my restricted test. Didn't tell the testing officer I'd binned on the way there though .

    The other time was at considerably higher speed on SH22, I was way at the back of the group and rode into a ditch before falling off the bike and tumbling into a creek.
