How many times have you had an off on the road?

...have you binned it on the road? On the track doesn't count, and neither does dirt-riding - as everyone drops MXers eventually.

Three times for me, all within the first 12 months of holding a license too.
Clean slate for the last 19 years, Touch wood.

It's not polite to keep count of such things.

Well my second drop was about 30 seconds after my first one, was sooo pissed off with myself for dropping my bike I gave it hell getting away from the scene and over cooked the following corner.

1. Bee in helmet, pulled over onto shingle locked and lost front
2. Wanker pulled out in fron on roundabout, leaning and to hard on front brake, lost front again.

Thats it. Fingers crossed and all that

I had my first bin shortly after getting my learners, was on a KR250a, twin 2 stroker, very fun bike...pity about the scars and also the broken bones! Was only doing about 60 at time when I struck a pile of gravel laid down by local council contractors

hope never to do it again.....

Never, unless I count the time I lost my footing whilst trying to pakr on a steepish slope. Had my fair share of oh shit moments though.

Never binned, but closest to doing it was from cunts putting up a road block in the middle of the road and I happen to be going down the road on the way home from work near around midnight.

Once, in my first month riding. Too close to the left edge and ran straight off the road on a right hander. Saw it was a good place to crash and basically went where I looked.

Know better now.....

Last Trackday I was passing someone under brakes at the end of the back straight at Taupo. But the bike 2 bikes ahead outbraked himself and ended up going straight in a cloud on dust. Was really hard not to follow him. Had to force myself to concentrate on looking where I wanted to go, and made it round the right hander.
