I've hit 5 cars, wrote one of 'em off (he had sunstrike so thought it would be a great idea to pull across the road into his driveway anyhow), crashed through a fence (recently upgraded the turbo and got caught out by how fast it accelerated), crashed landing a wheelie, crashed on the first corner after leaving a friends place early in the morning, crashed on a road covered in diesel and crashed trying to get my knee down on a roundabout. Oh, and flipped a KX and an XR on the road (does this count?) doing wheelies. maybe a couple of others I can't remember![]()

the really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.
Average km between "offs"? About 25,000km.

Several minors over the years (2 from failed wheelies....). The best was getting taken out by a Statesman on the Rimutakas - he lost it on a bend and collected me on my side of the road.
nothing for the first 5 years, then bam! a car runs me off the road.

It is only when we have lost everything that we are free to do anything.
Hrm, no crashes.
3 years riding, bout 65,000km.
At the age of 15 on my Suzuki 50 stepthrough, I got into some thick shingle on the road round Lake Brunner (West Coast of the South Island.)
Since I was wearing shorts and a tee shirt, I spent several days picking small bits of out my arms and legs.
That tought me two things:
1. Always wear good protective gear.
2. Never tense up and fight the bike when it moves around on loose surfaces.
Touch wood, I have stayed upright on the road ever since (not so on the track.)
Keep the shiny side upright, Rhino.
Crashed twice (on the road): some lady decided to stop in the passing lane up Waiwera (for no known reason). So I locked up and went flying past.
Second time was when someone looked me in the eye and then decided to pull out anyway (bloody cage). Crashed flipped (landed on my feet) and was kindly helped-out/pampered by a group of teen hotties who saw the whole thing and came running to my rescue.
I wave to every biker I see.
