Stupid things/mistakes you have done? *tedious post alert*

[mikesaa309]

We all know that I'm not the best rider here by now. Just wondering what stupid things you have done on the road and have you ever been close to being killed or seriously injured that was down to a mistake that you made?

My worst was overtaking 3 cars in a 30 zone by a junction. A car was waiting to turn right out of the junction and the car at the front of the 3 cars I was overtake was indicating into that junction. With nothing coming the other way the car pulls out and I'm overtaking.

I crapped my self and somehow managed to avoid the car but I though I was going to be killed or at least seriously injured. Now I don't like overtaking round town although I do on occasions if I'm 100% sure It's safe but I learnt from that one and still regret doing it to this day.

Doubt anyone has been that retarded but has anyone done something that has nearly got them seriously injured or killed?

Riding too fast up to a junction, lights change, I am going too fast to stop car pulls across BANG. Wrote the car off I turned a cartwheel at 40 mph over the bonnet, got away with a broken wrist and strained ligaments in my shoulder, couldn't sleep on my left side for two years.

Again riding too fast for the conditions, car spins on motorway, I am too close and have to go for the gap between the car and the central reservation. Inches man, inches

When a lot younger, me and a few mates used to run red lights late at night...flat out Somehow, we all survived it Very stupid thing to do though...... and none of us thought about the damage we could have done to someone else

Me and a couple of mates have gone down a country lane, NSL, but you'd have to be nuts if you wanted to travel down it at more than 35mph.

Being 19, we were doing the NSL down this road.

I nailed it round a tight left hander, I have seen footpaths wider than this road, and there was this great big digger, wheels either side of the tarmac coming towards me.

I slammed the anchors on, the michelin AC10's finally gave way, I went low siding off the road, my mate on his TZR managed to come to a halt upright and my other mate with a Derbi Senda didn't take the corner so fast and stopped with plenty of time to spare.

If the digger thing hadn't been travelling at about 10MPH and the driver hadn't been awake, I'd be a squidged boy now, I'm sure of it.

You're only 19? By the way you type I figured you were a middle aged man going through a midlife crisis. A boring midlife crisis at that.

Problem with scrolling new post list, is that half the page are your boring ass threads that are simply random thoughts that pop into your head.

One thing about youngsters (we've all been one) is they think everything they say is "way cool man" however most of it is rubbish.

I suggested on your other thread that you stop talking (typing) now because most all you are saying is making you look very very stupid.

Take the advice mucker and give it a rest.

I just don't understand why I ask something that a 5 year old can understand but someone has to complain about my boring posts?

Fine you find me boring whatever but if you're not going to reply to the post with something related to the post than just move on. jeeze not like it matters if my posts are boring not the end of the world is it?

Its that your creating very similar topics, this one's the same as... I've already forgotten which one I'm posting in At 19 you should be out getting pi$$ed and pursuing women, not over-analysing every second your on a bike. Just enjoy it man
