Passing out and crashing yer bike afterwards......

[Ian (GPX)]

I'll add this poll with more options in to go along with the licence/training 'debate'.

Again, feel free to add info if you have ...

1/ never crashed in x amount of years since passing test, and what test it was.

2/ crashed two or more years after passing test.

Hi

The ones to worry about would need a Ouji board to put their experience on this poll.

All the best

Didn't you do A2 restrcited license Ian?

[EuropeanNC30R...]

I passed my A2 and crashed a 55hp 250 within a year, which one do I select?

[M1ke]

Your welsh so vote doesn't count

[Ian (GPX)]

[EuropeanNC30R...]

We get more votes (and more representation) than the English, bitch

I put didn't crash A2 in first year because I believe that this is trying to establish fault claims, I did have a crash after 3 months but it wasn't my fault so that doesn't count surely?

This is a bit of a pointless war really isn't it? I think that it is just down to luck (Except pushing your bike to hard or other circumstances) whether or not you crash the bike? All sorts of statistics can be thrown in and it doesn't make a difference.

One of the riders who we went round with rode like an idiot 24/7 whenever he could do something stupid or idiotic he would, speeding all the time on his bike. He died in a fatal accident at the age of 33, no surprise there really only he died in his car at 30mph, he was crushed my a lorry going straight on at a junction. Just an example that it's down to just bad luck if anything whether or not you crash?

Ermm, like I told you before. I only said I took them out cos everyone else says that.

And I don't know if it was 160mph I was doing when I overtook bendy, as I'd had a bit to drink and smoke so couldn't really see the speedo that well.

Hi

Well, to go with this I will list my "crashes" against experience.

6 months on a bike, crashed on a corner. 100% my fault. Going slowly and not concentrating sufficiently, changed down going into the bend and was left with the clutch pulled while leaning over. I could have got round, but I didn't due to inexperience.
10 months on a bike. Hit by a car on a roundabout. Other vehicles fault. Might have been avoidable with more experience, but unlikely.
2 years on a bike, 3 months after my test. Came off at low speed on a T junction. My fault for playing silly buggers.
2 years and 6 months on a bike, 6 months after my test. Came off on an unmade road. My fault for being on that road, but I doubt anyone would have managed to stay on in the same situation. Also despite being at very low speed it was also probably the most painful "off".
6 years on a bike, 4 years after my test. Came off on a pot hole in snow (could not see the pot hole). One of those things! I had got to the main road and found the snow was still thick so had turned round to go home instead of going in to work.
14 years on a bike, 12 years after my test. Came off on mud left on the road by a farmer. Only options to avoid the mud were to take a long detour or to ride round a gentle right hand bend on the wrong side of the road.

So, of all those only one is 100% not my fault, and even that could possibly have been avoided by me with more experience.

All the best

Keith
