I had to submit three times!

I first crashed whilst being a nob on the forth day of owning my bike = lack of control

I crashed again getting my knee down in the early hours of the morning on a roundabout because of a combination of coldish tyres and light mist (slighty wet) = other

Finally I was knocked off by a metro! two months ago = taxi

I think 'other' counts as putting the oil feed to the crankcase breather!!!! DOH!!! Seized up going round a corner....

never fallen off mine

but I dropped my brother's monkey bike when I went round a corner too fast (at about 35- the corner went back on itself) and I panicked and grabbed the front brake. Only damaged the indicatorand came off with a badly bruised knee.

I also fell off a scooter with a dodgy centre stand while abroad. The spring was broken so it kept dropping down. I went round a corner at full speed and the centre stand dropped down, dug in and spun the bike round on it, throwing me off. I was wearing no lid and my head missed this concrete step by inches. After that I decided never to ride without a helmet under any circumstances Smile

wow that was a close 1 keen, i guess u were in spain or greece u always get dodgy 50cc peds there!

i rented a ped with bald tyres, fuk it was shite, went bak next day and got a different ped!!!

Robby · Dirty Old Man Joined: 16 May 2002 Karma :

i never trust bald types, something about how the sun glints off...

i had 4 crashes on my ped, 2 on ice where it just slid out under me on corners and slid along the road, 1 on mud where the same thing happened, and another on my gravel drive. mum was coming up the drive, i was going down, so i pannicked and skewed onto the grass, binning the bike.

surprisingly tho, i've only ever hurt my legs where they smashed into the ground, my bike jacket always kept my top half comfy.

Doing 70 (just) on a nice big A dual carriage way.
Saw some traffic lights ahead. Lights went amber. Still loads of room for me and the car in front to get through before red.
Car in front brakes and stops in 3 foot.
I brake, and keep going..............
Threw the bike to the right and bounced off the back right corner of the red escort at 55mhp.
Careened across the lanes clinging on for dear life and thinking "Fall off and ur DED!!!". But I hung on and came to a stop on the left hard shoulder.
Jumped off the bike and fell to the deck. My left shin was killing!!!!
The red escort pulled up behind me and the driver got out, all apologetic.
Asking if I was alright, was my leg ok, how was the bike??
I said "Bro. you dumb fuck! Why did you stop!!!???!!!"
He replied "The twin thing don't work that well then hey??"
I was following him to hull as he knew the route:)
Left a lovely dent in the back of his car, I just had a loose left indicator, scraped clutch lever, a lil scratch on the fairing and a bruised shin. Oh and a limp that worked really well that night with the ladies Laughing

Moral of the story: No, twins cant read each others fucking minds!!!!!

Very Happy
