[greatmoorred]

yeah,years ago on my XL185 i was turning off the main road into my road. The main road was gritted and ice free and mine wasnt. Went sliding along the floor, not very gracefully ! Didnt hurt too much but shook me up.

[jonnay]

7 times at the last count Some my fault, some car drivers faults, some just crap road surface and inexperience.

Once in my first week of riding on a CG125, then got knocked off whilst on an RS125, that's it.

Closest I've come to having on off in 2.5 years is running into a corner too hot and taking a slightly different line than I intended up the kerb on the grass brushing the hedges and back onto the road, looked cool though.

Sheet ice

I got hit by a cager on a roundabout too, but i never came off.

a moments lack of concentration and a car doing and emergency stop infront of you in the wet will put you under the back axe most days.

Tough choice. slide and brake my pelvis or fly and brake alot more.

Me, i went for the slide

[MattShill]

Yep, at the start of this winter I was turning left at some lights and gave it a bit too much, resulting in a graceful 10mph lowside.

Me hmm 3 times in total and all on my 125 . I have a CBR and not came off yet, but its only time until i do. First time was my fault too heavy on front brake in the rain (went down hard, half on the curb and half on the road, ended up under the trapped under the van). Second time was not my fault a taxi did a u-turn and hit me t-bone style when i was filtering, and the 3rd time a guy drove into my back at the lights, turned out alright for me tho got all the repairs done for all the accidents and his insurance paid.

1st time, I came up to a corner too fast, wet road, wet leaves, cue me sliding on my side under the scooter, into the kerb.

2nd time, I went round a corner, and discovered a volvo trying to share my side of the road coming the opposite way. Swerved to avoid the volvo, slid on my face into a dry stone wall - bent the frame of the scooter, it never went on the road again .

3dr time, set off on a scooter with the bars at an angle, overcorrected and flicked myself into the air landing rather badly, cracking 2 bones in my foot .

4th time, Went round and round and round in circles on my NSR, trying to get my Knee down - just managed it too, but the back end slid out on a painted white line and the bike cartwheeled across the car park - not much damage to the bike, though the police who were about 30 feet away when I did it (someone must have called and ratted on me) gave me a producer.

5th time, coming down my road, I learned that front tyres and black ice aren't very good friends. The NSR slid on its side into the kerb, and I slid on my arse down the road. Cue a woman doing her christmas baking running out of the house with her hands all covered in flour, to see if I was okay - quite a lot of damage from that crash, wrote off one panel, crushed an indicator, and badly scraped the other two RHS panels .

Not crashed the RS yet, touch wood, thank god .

Yeah! Today!!!

Just decked my ZX6R I've had the bike garaged all winter but noticed the roads were dry and I couldn't resist.

I made it as far as the end of the drive way before I high-sided across the road...

This would be the 3rd time I've dropped a bike on the road in 12 years of road riding. I used to race motox and spent more time off the bike than on. Nothing quite as upsetting as scratched fairing though!

[3806danny]

yeah right out side the place where took my test stupid riding with 1 hand on dodgey road surface,thicko

[0ni]

Accident happened further up the road, car to my left shat himself, swerved into my path, pulled on full anchors, locked front wheel, put her down.. bike stopped and I didn't going headfirst into the back of a clio.

A lot of people thought I was a gonner and were panicking, stood up, lid off, pick bike up (on my own) and push her to the side of the road, sat down and had a wee rest. Loads of people stopped and asked if I wanted an ambulance, driver who cut in front of me fucked off.

only time i have crashed of my own accord, 3 days after i got my rs50. racing along back road in the middle of the night went into a corner way to fast,, leaned the bike over,, an the corner got tighter,, leaned a tiny bit more, an wooooosh sliding on my side watching the bike go fliping into a ditch/barbwire fence, as i slid head first into a sign post,

i got up -half of my jeans. an ran to my bike only to trip on my dead leg like a twat,, after amoments rest me an my friend (who had turned up) tryd to rip the bike outa the ditch,, got it out an drove the 4 mile home..

ended giving myself whip last a few cuts down my leg,,, i learned my lesson..

Too many times to count. Most of them were low speed accidents, only one or two were because I was going too fast.

On one of my old scooters I dared to lean very gently into a corner in the wet and ended up sliding down the road. Deathtrap.


On the bike, first time I came off was because I was slowing down to turn left into a road and I lost the front wheel on some gravel at about 5mph.
Later that night I was pulling out of a junction and lowsided. White lines, muddy tyres, leaning and throttle in the wet doesnt work too well.

Fell off the road not long ago. Lifted the bike off its side stand, I was feeling extremely weak, the bike started to lean towards me, went to grip the gravel with my back foot for support but nothing was there, down i rolled what an idiot!

Yep, a few times.

Dropped my 125 (Cagiva Roadster) when I locked the front wheel on a frosty road. Throw-over panniers saved the bodywork.

Stuffed my wife's NS125R in a ditch, cos I didn't trust its tyres to lean any further. Hauled it out, kicked the mud off, rode it home!

Threw the Speed Four up the road at about 50mph, cos I wasn't really paying attention on the way to work one morning. The traffic slowed down more than I'd realised, and I clipped the back corner of the car in front.
Made quite a mess of the bike. It's amazing how far they slide! I was wearing decent kit, so this was the only damage to me:

I've kissed wet tarmac once after loosing the back end on my 125. My second accident, a rear end impact, I stayed onboard.
