well i passed my test in september, been riding pretty much everyday and had my 1st off last night.

going around a roundabout, normal one with 4 exits, 1st exit ok, 2nd exit a car pulls out infront of me, to stop myself flying into the side of him i had to swerve to my left and the bike flew onto its side, i fell off, rolled quite a distance and could see the bike sliding along the road.

Sad only lasted 3 months Sad

I found out whilst working for Domino's that you can wheelie their Honda Leads.

Now I'm not calling you a liar but I do find this improbable for a few reasons so going to ask some questions.

How many miles have you done in this time?

How often do you ride?

Do you only ride in your local area?

are you ignoring low speed crashes?

Do you filter?

See in the last 4 months or so I've done somewhere in the region of 18,000 miles, been off of work a lot this year so it's quite low but in that time I haven't crashed but I have been driven into by a 350Z.

My insurance brokers estimate one accident every 10,000 miles so I know I'm bucking the trend but I would find it strange indeed for someone to claim they haven't come off of a bike once in over 25years unless they ride rarely.

How many miles have you done in this time? Average 30-40k a year.

How often do you ride? Every day until 2 years ago as it was my only form of transport and for work and pleasure.

Do you only ride in your local area? Nope all over uk, live in Midlands, done Scotland, Lakes, Wales and the south except London area as its a shit hole.

are you ignoring low speed crashes? Only low speed offs have been off road and expected.

Do you filter? Yes its the only way to make progress.

Had cars pull out/across and stop suddenly but avoided them and the floor. Only off I have ever had was about 1 week before test, I hit some diesel on a traffic Island and the bike went down. Luckily there was an ambulance following me that stopped to help patch me up.
I also know others that have been riding for over 20 years without an off.
