Anyone never had a crash?

[Roki_nz]

I was just wondering if there was anyone out there who has never had the misfortune of crashing their bike? By crash I don’t mean like when you over revved you bike when you were learning and it fell on you (what I did).

not me.........then again every crash..as you call it..resulted in learning something so i guess it was time well spent.

We seem to be struggling to find someone who hasn't crashed.

Tell you what: I've had four. Has anyone done less than four???

[howdamnhard]

I've had three low speed ones so far.

Never bought into the whole you got to bin to learn how to ride thing. Done 40000km + now over the last year and a half. Hoping to keep it this way.

Although I will have to let Jim2 know so he can laugh at me when I do.

Way I see it...

Motorcycle accident/crash = usually some fucker in another vehicle taking you out and mostly out of your control if it happens, although factors such as your speed around blind corners, position on the road and defensive riding will help reduce an incident becoming an accident.

Binning it on a motorbike = self inflicted incident of pain. Probability of occurrence variable and highly rider dependent. Going too fast around a corner and hitting a car after you have crossed the center line, although would technically be called an accident, the rider created it so I would class it as a bin.

So far avoided 4 accidents mostly out of my control, apart from the evasive action needed to get out of harms way and 1 where I met a tractor on the wrong side of the road on a corner I should have taken slower (would have been an accident if I had been in my car, bike allowed me to take an alternative route)

As for binning, have not come close.

Thats a good idea. I say we change it just a bit though:

I've broken 8 bones. From crashes - anyone done less than 8???

I just broke one bone, but it ended up in eight pieces.

Had a couple over the years, but this was the best one cleaned up by a car and tried impersonating superman (flight was good but landing )

LOL


never broken a bone myself, had ALOT of near accidents with cagers, and only had one bin on the road - due to lack of concentration/sleeping

dropped once during my learners on some diesel in the wet a roundabout at night.... plus having my shoelaces get tangled with the bike and falling over at my gate, twice

dirtbikes are another story.. inclusding one accident caused by a 4WD on muriwai beach... though on sunday i went on a HUGE trail ride north of raglan and didn't come off once. didn't even stall. tis a shame i hurt myself loading and unloading the bike in the carpark though
