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

TWO SMOKER WINS!!!! More than ten times (i think) not bad for someone only riding for three years... Slow learner aye????

Never had an off and don't intend to.

Same for me. Haven't had an off, and intend to do all I can to keep it that way. Have had someone bin right in front of me though, about a week ago. That wasn't very much fun, and although the guy was (relatively) unhurt, it was still scary when he went down.

I think skidmark should be 10+ *cough*(scooters count mark)*cough*

Well, here's to the "haven't had an off" group!

Only once about a year ago. Went through a roundabout a bit fast in the wet and something gave way. No serious injury or damage. I'm not going to kid myself though; its going to happen again one way or another.

Personaly I don't like to call it an off/crash I like to think of it as a up close and personal road inspection . Still sucks though.

once, roadtesting my race GP125..

**onearmedbandit** · 25th April 2007, 23:31

4 times for me. All in my younger days. Don't worry, I'm still alive.

**Chaos83** · 25th April 2007, 23:39

This conversation feels really taboo. I'll be knocking on any tree I can find 'til next ride. Only been riding for 4 years - never binned but a few close calls! Glad I still got my legs

:. *Knocking!*

Sigh. This question (with poll) has been posited several times before. And the answer doesn't mean much unless you also factor in how long the respondant has been riding . If someone has been riding one week and not crashed it doesn't signify much.

Answer is still the same. Never, in about half a century.

1981 - Bar steward driving a taxi pulled out in front of me. One fractured right elbow (no padding or armour in them days). Touch the head, nothing since.
