Crashes, Falls and Drops

[Juniper]

You're a sensitive wee thing, aren't you?

As the first spring petal of a Lilly.

You know of three crashes, that were in no way the fault of the rider, that haven't ended up on KB for fear of a Katman berating? Bloody hell, you must live in a dangerous place to be a biker!

That's just an average weeks commuting for 'Spokes. He lives in the same place as many of others on here who manage to go crash-less with very little trouble. Makes me wonder if maybe he's just a little bit retarded.

The only advice people on this fucking site need to listen to is mine.

Like what? "Drink only my coffee"?

[Crasherfromwayback]

Like what? "Drink only my coffee"?

lol. Aye. Then "Sign here".

When do you get your license back?

Never said they were blameless.

Never said they were blameless.

If they accept responsibility, Katman would not have made an effort to point out, that they undoubtedly weren't paying enough attention.

Couple o' weeks and no, I don't fancy going for a pootle with you - bad things come in threes. Anyhoo, try to keep this on topic eh, this thread is about binning it.

Im NZSpokes on KB, Im a prick. I ride everyday and have a good record for crashing.

What exactly do you mean by having a good record for crashing? I would have though that by not having crashed one could claim to have a good record in this regard but you seem to think the opposite?

[nzspokes]

I mean I do it regularly and with style.

Aaaannnnd I fell.

Collage Rd in Ponsonby. Rush hour.

My fault. Wet and slippery. Slowed down and lost balance a bit, went to go put foot down and something either caught or slipped and I toppled over.
Lovely guy walking by picked up the bike off me and routed traffic around us cause my leg was stuck.

I was nervous before I got on the bike that afternoon so was bound to happen. Just lost confidence and there ya go.

Hehe first time in public.

Thank you Jessie and random guy.

Those bloody high heeled lady boots

Freaky when you forget to lift your foot off the peg before you try to put it down and no time to correct the error if you are already leaning the bike onto that leg. Somehow I have so far managed to free the foot just in time, usually results in slamming it down so hard it hurts, but now I think muscle memory or whatever has got the message and don't tend to make the mistake.

I'm going to amend a few things about my gear to try and stop it happening again. Pants are a little tight at 1 spot so will let out a bit. Make the ankle smaller cause that's what I think caught. And my proper riding boots come in next week.

I'm more pissed that I've now got to polish these shoes again. Scratches are so hard to get out.

Where do I go to get scratches made gone? They white ones now. I left green on the road.

No problem. You're OK, the bike's OK, you live and now you learned. Carry on...

Some people get their thrills doing things in public, I hear...

Hehe I'm a schizophrenic cat, I've got 27 lives


Already ahead of you pall, my trainings been booked for a couple of weeks. Got in on one of those $20 for a whole day ones for Monday.

Not blaming anyone else but myself.
Conditions: wet and slippery- factor I took into account (obviously not well enough lol)
Fault: mine
Cause: lack of confidence and/or some part of my gear that I decided to don slipping and/or catching. Also inability to navigate slow speeds down hill in wet.
