Bounce or Break?

[warped one]

When you come off which of the above are you?

The reason for this is at work the other day talking to a few blokes about it 2 said that they bounce and 3 said they broke.

Cheers

Warped

darn it, i'm both !

broke my left leg at the top ( femur i think that bone is) snapped clean in half, had some metal work in there for a few years but had it all removed.

and more recently bounced when planting the bike in a hedge going into a corner too hot.

I think of my bones as crumple zones.

I've been lucky so far; I haven't had an off over 5mph. I've only come off once on the road and that was pulling out of the Uni car park uphill on my NSR, dropping off the kerb and having the rear suspension spring up and the rear wheel lose traction under full throttle. Bloody two strokes heh. I wasn't expecting it to pull so well from cold and I was trying to keep up with the boys on their 600's. Was a silly thing to do as it was winter and my tyres were cold. Taught me a lesson and didn't really damage the bike as I pretty much just did a 180 while still holding the bars so I could pick it up straight away.

It's inevitable that I will have an off sooner or later, preferably the latter. I expect that I will bounce as I'm quite 'big boned' so to speak heh.

Neither bounce nor break.


The bike went down, slid for about 10 feet.

I dropped to the floor at about 25mph and just stopped dead on my shoulder.



Needless to say it hurt a little, but I neither bounced, nor broke.

within 2wks of passing my car test i landed my astra estate on its roof, which collapsed trying to crush my head. walked away with a scratch lol.
