This thread is going off topic... it is meant to be all about me me me!
But also about biking and confidence

My God, she's right!

you people should be building statues in her glorious image!

and maybe have some bike talk chucked in

The whole point of this thread was for me to ask whether other people before starting out biking felt a bit worried about the dangers...

So long ago I can't remember. I think mainly I was glad to be on a bike that I didn't have to pedal! Hmmm. I was an 18 year old male though so I probably wasn't worried about the dangers.

Haha yeh good point!! Well yeah I have always been interested in bikes but never actually thought about owning one myself until a little while ago... watch out world! BuFfY may be on the loose soon enough!

YOUMIGHT FIND WHEN YOU START RIDING REGULARLY THAT YOUR REFLEXES AND ROAD SENSE GET BETTER , CAN I SEE YOUR TITS BUFFY?

[metric]

This is completely right

Get Lucy repaired, on the other guys insurance of course, then get a bike

good to hear it wasn't so bad

yep I agree...

fix lucy -> sell lucy -> buy a two-wheel version of 'lucy' who you'll love EVEN MORE

You are ok, the vehicle can be repaired, if you had been on a bike then you would be smarting but then again you might have avoided it altogether as others have stated.
Nothing can prepare you for the first time you have an accident on a bike, but if you are as prepared as you can be then you should be ok and learn lots from the experience. I have been riding 26 years and had several occasions when I have been knocked off by dumb cagers but I still ride and love it. This morning someone drove into the rear of my car, it just happens.
nothing is guaranteed, live life anyway, do what you love and enjoy it. Someone on site has a signature (sorry cant remember who) something to the effect of ' dont be afraid that your life will end, only that you may have done nothing with it.'
BTW welcome to the site. lol

[Insanity_rules]

Welcome Buffy, sorry to hear about your accident and glad you're OK. On the accident front, I feel safer in traffic on a bike as weird as it sounds. You can avoid a lot better on a bike than you can in a cage.

Go on do it, feel some wind in yer face. You get places quicker on a bike too LOL.

haven't postie, cibby, and vixter written off a bike or four between you?

i dont know if you guys have background with buffy or something, she put it in rant or rave so i dont see what the problem is, if there was one gaylander would have moved it for sure, but then cowpoos didnt start the thread

i've got no vendetta with the new member mate, just couldn't give a shit about yet another car accident in the CBD, cars are always hitting each other, trees and students out side uni so whats the big deal.

Besides mate, your not gonna socre her by sticking up for her
did cowpoos teach you nothing??

It wasn't just about my car mate... about me asking whether people starting out biking felt the same way as me about getting crashed into. Which I clearly said!!! Twice!!

And yeh... sticking up for me may help him score

sorry, i didn't read that far, i have a short attention span and i fell asleep.
but are you saying that you have been thinking about getting a bike and all was fine and dandy, but you had a car accident and then you thought "what would happen if i had a crash on a bike?" did you not consider that you could have an accident on a bike before this incident with your car?

[HDTboy]

I stuck up for you too, but are you worthy?

Well yeh I did consider that I could have an accident on a bike... seen as I have read quite a bit about people on here who have had accidents.. I am not saying that now I will stay in my room and never leave just incase of danger! Life is about risk blah blah blah
This thread was just something that came to mind in the midst of my accident and I was curious to see whether other people felt the same way

[Postie]

Problem here is that this is another 'potential biker' who could easily decide to say f*@k it and not bother. We should be encouraging more people onto bikes not putting them down.
Yes! this is a bikers forum but there are a number of members on here that drive cages but are thinking of changing over. Let's not discourage them...

have you seen the price of petrol now?

every second person i talk to is a 'potential biker', doesn't mean squat till they get a bike though does it?
