    Just read a topic with the same subject. Apparently I'm telling myself I'm too lazy to search for it and go "Ha, in your face"...

    So I'll leave that up to somebody else.

    There was a thread awhile ago about "anyone not crash?" or something like that. Not crashing is what's unique.

    Many years ago i put a 500/4 into a rockface on the Summit road,after a few somersaults my helmet strap broke and helmet came off,woke up 6 days later in CH-CH hospital,remember seeing all these people standing around the walls of the room sat up and burst my hip open again then went back to sleep for a few more days.

    Unfortunately you will not get replies from riders with the worst crashes.
    Their families will look at their photos and shed a tear.

    Ride to survive.
    Motorbike only search

    i second that motion..... this is not a nice topic of conversation
    I've learnt to hide the pain inside, open the throttle and ride away.

    maybe not - but it should still be discussed, not in the manner of the first post but in a way that makes some people realise that more people die doing stupid things than those doing 'cool' things

    Whether it is their fault or not does not make the pain any less. We may not have the statistics of the ride2die website, but the dangers are still present.

    Consider the current campaign underway.


    There maybe 10,000 or so less vehicles traveling the Auckland streets but does that make the roads any safer??
    It is what it is

    For me, being a newbie rider, I am more interested in how people came to grief. By that I mean what were the circumstances that lead up to the crash, could it have been avoided, how could I identify the conditions should I find my self in the situation.
    The joys of riding, as you will all agree, can be identified within the first few hours on a bike. The pitfalls can only be identified by either having been there and done that or learning from the experiences of other who have got a whole lot more ride time under their belt.
    Sharing your "SHIT THAT HAPPENED" may just keep others (newbies) out of it.

    Accidents are all preventable of course,because either:
    a- You stuff up,or

    b- Your bike stuffs up,or

    c- Somebody else stuffs up

    a and b are entirely in your hands, and even some part of c you can influence.....
    Hopefully a big scare is as close to a crash as you will come.....since there are no pleasant crashes to be had......
    Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....
