Oh well I’ll enter the fray. Nobody wants you to hurt yourself or worse,

- like end up being one of those pricks you meet at parties who say, “Oh yeah, so you ride bikes huh? I used to have a bike, but they are too dangerous, blah blah” ARRRGHH!

But do consider when you hear the stories “Gee it was lucky someone wasn’t coming the other way”

Well sometimes it is unlucky & they are.

You need to consider your actions & stop compiling the excuses.

As far as being in neutral, oh the sin of sins, well consider this: A tyre has only so much grip, one can overpower it with the engine as well. Also the engine is not a magical brake, one can regulate the same braking or more than the engine with the pedal. The problem is clearly the application & attention. (The stab as you said overpowered the tyres).

I’ll also call bullshit on the cold tyres. It was raining - Of course the tyres were cold.

You are obviously accident prone, the question is why? Maybe your eyesight is an issue (binocular focussing rather than how far you can see). Or coordination, that can take some people a while to develop (though some are world champs at 17). Or just plain not having the mind on the job.

To make you feel better I will share one of my stories. its a little embarrassing. My first bike was a Suzuki TS125: it was what was called a dual purpose bike at the time. I was nearly 16, and in those days all you had to do to get a licence was basically show up and demonstrate you could actually ride the bike, and thats it. The cop said "YOu're an accident waiting to happen" as he handed my shiny bike licence.

That was at 2pm. At about 7pm that night I was going round to my mates house (cos I now could) and I hit some shingle on a corner and decked it. The first thing that hit the ground was my left knee, and I had rather a large injury necessitation stitches and immobility, not to mention the half hour the nurse spent picking/scrubbing gravel out of it. that was a laugh, NOT. (still have the scar, too)

I spent the next month riding the bike round standing up, (cos I couldnt bend my knee cos the stitches would rip) and you need to change gear a lot on a wee 2 stroke. If i sat down I caught the foot on the road and it bent the knee and it was really sore.

I have loads of stories like this: another one was a friend who lent his DT250 to another friend who jumped it over a grass bank. of course he landed in a heap on the ground. and stayed there. After we'd checked the bike was OK we wandered over to this dude and he is looking a bit pale. "Ive dislocated my elbow" he says. "Pull my hand and itll pop back in place". My friend whose bike it was says "Sure" and pulls the guys arm. Guy faints. Arm was in fact broken... pulling it just ground the ends together.... a bit painful it seems. (Not that the guy whose bike was decked gave a crap... the thing was his pride n joy)

The worst part of that was trying to get this semi conscious person to hang on while he was on the pillion seat on the way to the A & E. Laugh. (again, not so much)

Oh yeah, another mate had a DT400 (big aircooled 2 stroke DP bike). I borrowed it and it was the biggest fastest thing I'd ever ridden. I tried to impress these girls by doing a wheelie down the street..... and flipped it. and landed on my head. Wearing the guys new helmet. Cost me a new helmet, and about $400 worth of bits for the DT (about 40% of its value at the time, and a months take home pay for me). Plus the acute embarrassment of the girls pissing themselves laughing........

my point is that most of us have been where you are, and done the things (or even sillier ones) that you're doing. If you live long enough to persevere, you probably will get more better at the riding thing. The big problem I see is other road users. You might fall over in front of one, and they hit you, or fall over and they dont hit you but run off the road from laughing. Think of the other road users and practice off the road!!

being 17 he probably is just thinking about sex all the time.....

I'd appreciate advice more than "Stop riding a bike, you'll kill yourself", but being in Queenstown it's a bit harder to find someone to 'mentor' me, so to speak (although there was that guy who was riding an MV down my road the other day, he'd probably wanna hang with me).

In hindsight, I think that I was in a particular mood for crashing.

Dude PM either idb, Jantar, Oldrider,K14 they're all reasonably close to you, idb would be the closest though. Find some reading literature also.

No such thing as being in the mood for crashing there's controlling your emotions or letting your emotions control you (DISCIPLINE)

That don't figure. At that rate we'd all be crashing - I'm far from 17 and I'm thinking about sex all the time. Well, except when I'm thinking about beer.
