I have been thinking about it and I want to give up too. This bike nonsence is just getting a bit too much for me.

Hopefully it all heals fast - glad you're ok.

In league with the ACC (who keep putting bike premiums up, even though they put car ones down, as they discovered they'd collected too much money). Bastids.
But of course, they're all just pawns of the You Know Who.

[QUOTE=Zed]I'm sorry you joined the club!

Possible record for bike dropping in a single day...

DROP ONE
Fuckers at mobile alarm specialists strike again. Go to remote start bike sunday morning, only to see it jump foward in gear (no, it's not supposed to be able to start in gear

) and fall over! Dented exhaust. LHS.

DROP TWO
Low side on big ass roundabout in Ham's, full leathers and riding gear so no damage to me, small scratch on exhaust. RHS. Never let go of bike, just stood up, shook head, started bike and rode off. The cause... silicone on tyres... Dont ask!

DROP THREE
At home scrubbing up tyres with wire brush/sandpaper to remove offending silicone. Bike leans too far upright... struggling to hold the heavy beartch up... to no avail... over she topples... no damage

That is a bad day for any biker!!!

Mate when you do that I think you've pushed your luck for the day. I think it best to go home an

There's definitely something in the air at the moment.

Coming out of Aitken Street on to Molesworth on the way home, the bike decided to go completely sideways on me.

I remembered the golden rule "Never let go of the throttle", stuck my leg out and did a lovely motocross slide for about 50 metres up Molesworth St. Just got it under control in time to slam on the brakes for some clown doing a SMIDSY and pulling in front of me to go down the lane on the side of the old Thorndon tavern. Aaargh. Cold tyres and just wet roads - not a good mix. Still, didn't fall off...

I feel for all you guys.

I would mention that I only ever crash bikes in June, but THEY might be listening, so I'll say it real quietly.

The weather around Welly lately has been dry/wet/cold/dry/wet/warm and it's making the roads really iffy.

Let's be careful out there people...

**Two Smoker** · 5th October 2004, 19:02

Woohoo everyone is joining my club

I think i have the highest rate of bins..... 6 Bins in 9 months..... Who has beaten that????

NC · 5th October 2004, 19:10

I don't like binning, I'm a crier

**Hooks** · 5th October 2004, 19:35

Bloody hell .... Dave I'm glad to hear you're OK .... I think you've done enough to yourself for the year huh ?? ... A hint ... maybe try some engine braking in the wet .... it keeps the bike stable as it slows and will require minimal braking up front !! ...

Wkid may have been onto something after all .... maybe we should all take up walking .....

Nah fuck it !!

Life is all about beating the odds ... so by being out on a bike and enjoying life you are adding a random element that should counter-act the bad shit that may happen !! ... That's my theory and I'm sticking to it !!

bring on the long ones !! it's all about living life ..... :spudbooge
