Bike crash ratio E=MC^2 blah blah

ok simple. I want to do a simple thing here.
how long have you been riding.
how many crashes have you had.
im doing an average count so please dont take over the thread with stuff I have to sift through.

Ideally: started riding at 25. now 45. had 3 crashes.
something like that because of course age has much to do with it

Im being lenient on the term crash:
anything that does does damage to yourself or your bike or gear while in motion.


Ideal post (and mine
I started riding when I was 21, im now 22, ive had 1 crash (5.5 months)
that aint counting the engine seizure of mine because i didnt 'crash' as-per-say

if you dont want to post, then dont, thats fine

lost count after the first big 3 or 4 thats when I was 16 ...then Nope Ive lost count ..to many years as a dispach rider ..I can remember the bigger ones and the funny ones ....going over the handlebars on a Maluguti ( sp) in greece ... or dragging everything on the deck ..pegs knees ..seeing a snowman in the road and deciding ..while still cranked over to go through it ..... it had frozen to Ice ,,,
Sliding under a lorry , on a CX500 , picked me self up ..looked down ,,red stuff everywhere ,,,sat down thinking I might need attention ..only to remember I had a bottle of wine ....in me bag...

[Blackbird]

Started riding when 15, now 57. Had 14 years away from bikes in the middle.

4 road crashes, all at low speed.

1 drag bike crash at over 120 mph (when I was young and could bounce without breaking stuff)

[Pwalo]

Started riding when I was 16, now 46. Had three low speed low sides (twice on black ice, and once on the dreaded painted manhole cover in the wet), and one crash when I was hit by a car on the motorway.

Not too bad for 30 years, but I would have preferred to have avoided the pain of the last one.

[Jonty]

Started riding on dirt when I was 8 with hundreds of crashes. Been on the road for about a year (24y) no crashes (touch wood).
