For old buggers (40+) only. Youff piss off.

I have had four crashes that I can remember, but never had to see a doctor about any of them, so I ticked no crashes.

I can remember tooling down Hampshire street on my RD350, someone had just done an oil change on the car, and I found the used oil. Fell off, broke lots of bits. Couldn't ride the bike, so I asked an old fella if I could leave the bike in his shed. I got back to pick it up a few days later, and he had fixed everything except my speedo, which cost a weeks pay.

Years later rode my XT400 through a river on the way back from a trail ride. It was way deeper than I imagined, and I fell off. Got stuck and almost drowned. Mates are useless in those situations, they just want to take photos. But I dont think that counts either.

Dropped my GSX1100 on the Takaka Hill in 1987. I was almost walking, it was fuckn icy and snowing and it cracked the fairing, but I was not hurt. I watched a car come around the corner, thinking shit, they gonna run over my bike, but they gently spun in a circle and drifted into the bank, safely clear of my crash site.

Traded the GSX1100 on a new Triumph Trophy some years later. See I keeps me bikes for a long time. Except this one... Got it on Friday, and crashed it on Saturday when the back stepped out on the Rimutaka Hill, far side. My fault, too much gas on in the corner. Wasn't hurt, just pissed off. Had a most unpleasant time getting Swine Insurance to pay out, they had lots of excuses.

I've had my licence for 34 years.

I have woken up in the back of an ambulance once, after being punted off form behind by an inattentive driver.

Apart from a few falls on ice that's it.

[Swoop]

Been riding on and off for 30 years.

Never had a crash.
According to the lies and statistics from TPTB, I should be dead already. Sorry to fuck up their stats.

I have a few more years on that, but I am with you all the way, I should have been dead long since

One road crash in '95, old fart drove his car straight into me resulting in me being knocked out and a fractured wrist.
2007 I got knocked off on the track resulting in a fractured thumb and bruised from head to toe. 5 weeks later, still in cast, I hit some oil on a roundabout n fell off. Thought I'd re-broken thumb but xrays showed I hadn't so I got the cast off. I never told my doctor about the roundabout incident so it didn't go on the acc stats.

Was hit twice by drunk drivers in Christchurch back in the eighties (going to work at night)
and last year by a truck comming home from work (Tosser)
Could have been worse I would hate to be hit every year........

[cheshirecat]

Had lisence for over 40 years and one accident 1976 requiring doctors in head on with car on the wrong side. We were both doing 70 ish mph and being on a bike saved my life. Apart from that minor slips in snow and black ice or on spilt fuel and of course the usual infuriating when stationary numbers. This all includes riding lots across Europe and 3 years London Despatching. In UK used to average 30,000 miles a year on bikes winter and summer.

I've had plenty of prangs in 40 years of riding - the only injury was a badly bruised ankle after bouncing off a Trekka at 60mph,it hurt so much I had it X rayed,but it was ok,so went to work the next day off course.Other than that just gravel rash.Even off road I've only had a bit of blood and a twisted ankle.Never claimed ACC or even taken a day off work for motorcyle injuries....or any other for that matter.

What did the poor Trekka do to deserve a hit..? Everyone used to pick on them...

Apart from dropping the old T500 Suzuki on a wet clay driveway back in '76 due to the old "pleasure-ribbed" front tyre not being suited to such conditions, I haven't had a crash. Had a few close calls, of course, but I have an aversion to pain and death so I usually ride like a Nana...

[MadDuck]

Stink - It appears I am an old bugger.

Have had a bike licence over 25 years (no I aint saying much over that) but did have a break for a bit. Few offs in my youff being stupid but not since getting back into it over 15ish years.

Did someone say I should be dead

[Maki]

Im an old bugger and I never even scratched my bike. ACC should pay me for setting a good example with my safe, responsible
and exemplary riding

[Insanity_rules]

You bastards raising my ACC levies.

IMO compulsory euthanasia for everyone over 35.

You know when Winston Peters was asked about euthensia he replied "Well I think we should be looking after our own kiddies first".

True story, go the minister for Courtney Place!

1 x in the drive with me on where I sacrificed my leg for the fairing.

Hahaha. Same as me just before Xmas! Lost my footing on loose gravel turning round in the road. Stayed under the bike to protect it and the crash mushroom drilled my calf. Took 2 months to heal properly. That was at 61 years of age.

My only previous injury was when I was 19. An old git in a Mini pulled out on me without indicating. I was riding a 350cc Triumph. Anyone into Triumphs of that era will remember that they came equipped with a rather large steering damper knob on top of the headstock. As I came into contact with the Mini and exited over the front of the bike, my balls snagged on the damper knob on the way through. I was walking like John Wayne for nearly a week on account of the purple plumbs in my trousers

[MSTRS:Me]

Not quite old enough to vote the top one.
One crash in 1975. My fault. Not paying attention, hit a car that stopped at lights, bruised shins from hitting the crashbars, bruised thighs from hitting the handlebars and broken tooth from face-planting the boot of said car.

[Big Dave]

I crashed 3 times in one day - ADV riding.

[slofox]

Only one injury crash ever...as a rank beginner, and that was a pretty minor injury - gear shift poked into leg. I had just bought a helmet that morning and landed on it when some silly old fool turned right straight into me. Over the front and onto the head...no boots (which would've saved the leg).

Dropped it a few times, couple low-sides, one high speed lowconvertedtohigh side on the track...no injury.

Edit: Now I think about it, I have fallen off every bike, except one, that I have ever owned. The exception was a cb250 commuter I had for a couple years when there was only one fambly car...no wonder I never fell off that one - the least memorable bike I ever had....
