Crash Poll - Take 2

[Katman]

Mate ... we've been getting attention ever since Daimler and Maybach came up with the idea of bikes ... in the eyes of society we're an anti-social bunch of Larrikans ... and some of us actually like it that way ...

Some of us want motorcycling to have a future.

If we leave it to the likes of you we'll all be in cars before too much longer.

I put car driver, then Mrs S said pointed out some thing which made me think i should have put rider, over the last 17 years I've done 517k approx in that time I've had 2 off's, one that smashed my ankle & broke my leg, doing 15 kph on our drive way at 5:30 am, drive way 15% down hill rutted, hit a rock the size of a tennis ball did the tank slap..... bike ok
the next off hit a bad diesel spill.... walk away bike right off

rider fault?

when I lived in (Auckland)for a few years I was riding home going up Wairu rd towards Albany in the wet, traffic heavy when a car decided to pull out of a side road, I had no where to go except into oncoming traffic, got around him with out being cleaned up but he hit the back of my bike breaking the indercator,
got off bike & while I was about to lay hands & use the five fold minstry on the citizen a voice behind me said I'll deal with mr.... turned around with citizen half out the window to see a very large standing there, cop heard citizen say your on a bike your're going to give way

rider fault?

I'm in love with my car. Its got a heater and CD player, and four wheel drive and the wagon part is like the worlds biggest pocket. Might need that? put it in your pocket. Stopping at the offie or the shops? pop that in your pocket. carry sporting goods, crystal meth or stolen property: pocket. MAKING crystal meth? Here's a pocket size kit.

yup, cars are great.

Bike crashes -No 1 would have to be inexperience. that's inexperience in handling a bike, inexperience at reading traffic, inexperience in riding bumpy twisty secondary roads.

Naivety in thinking that if the road is tar-seal with a white line down the middle then everything will be safe and cozy and how DARE there be gravel or bumps or debris mid-corner, the council keeps all roads pristine and hazard-free 24 hours a day don't they? And how DARE other road users cross the centreline mid-corner and force you to take evasive action. Fuck, you were 'in the right' not them.. it's just not fair, you're not the one who fucked-up...

Naivety in thinking they can ride thru intersections safely and it will be all warm-fuzzies because cage drivers HAVE to keep a good look out for motorcycles and can't POSSIBLY pull into the path of oncoming bikes. You've got your warm-fuzzies blaze-yellow jacket and headlight on, fuck, that HAS to save your arse from that sort of thing doesn't it? Naivety in trusting other road users.


No2 would be the ignorant shit-for-brains riders who think they know it all, and ride like fuckwits thinking they're too experienced to fuck-up. Plenty of wankers on this site who fit that description. Actually No2 is probably close to being the No1 cause of crashes, and it's the No1 cause of fucken trouble for every one else who rides a motorbike.


No3 probably the awesomely large number of equally shit-for-brains cage drivers out on the road who drive in an ignorant dimwit retarded un-aware zone. Oblivious to any bloody thing happening around them.

No4 is likely just plain simple BAD-FUCKING-LUCK.
