Binners Anonymous

[gijoe1313]

Hi, I've taken my time to sit at the back and observe others going before me...

I'm gijoe1313 and it has been a month since I last went flying on my little ol'Hornet. Before that, I was a padawan of Dover and learnt his lessons well by binning on the 2nd day out of my riding experience.

I practised for my last flying lesson by having numerous encounters with fowls/mallards/ducks/sparrows resulting in dropping my bike. Like others, I have remonstrated with my failings, despaired at how others were more skilled in keeping upright then I.

Languishing in the depths of doldrum, I broke the langour and mendacious behaviour by riding more often. As far and as long as I could.

So, yes, I am a binholic, but now am a mileaholic as well

Thank you for listening to my story.... does anyone want to go for a ride?

Yup I've averaged one every ten years. I have had 3 too many, terrible. My last was a month ago when I got tipped off my Hayabusa.

...only injury sustaned on road was gravel rash on my kneecap (as in, scarred the bone). And Im sure that cured a cartilage problem anyway.

I'd never concieved of the therapeutic side of binning

Im in the "waiting to bin" category of riders.
Will happen. Almost did today, however any miss is a miss.

nearly four years riding and no bin. And none of this "never ridden in rain" crap like you see in the odd trademe auction (but thats another story), its nearly every day to work on the southern m'way for me
