how many accidents have you had?

[conure]

sounds a bit depressing, but how many accidents have you had/what happened?

[Danny]

Flipped my NSR and got knocked off by a silly woman another time.

Nothing bad has happened on the GPz550 yet.

0 so far in about two years of daily riding. Touch wood and all that.

1 Accident in 18 Months and a few NEAR misses (Bloody Car Drivers)

Going round a mini roundabout and the bike just slipped out from under me... DAMN DEISIL DRIVERS!!!!

Oh well Nothing major YET!!!!

[Dup]

Two accidents in two tears.

Taxi driver U-Turned into me whilst filtering traffic. Calims he was stationary and i hit him. Now trying to sue me.

My yoke jammed at 80mph and within seconds i was in the hedge and totally messed up my bike. Clamining that damage was done by the taxi driver as i never bothered at the time. This was last feb.

Should be interesting

[Rob]

Two accidents in, err, a few years of riding!

One, which was a classic 'T-Bone' jobbie, car pulled straight out of a side road. (I was filtering at the time and didn't notice the gap in traffic! Doh!)

The other was the now 'infamous' wine van incident!
(I wasn't out-braked, he just slammed his brakes on and I was a little too close to stop in time! (You try riding in London rush hour traffic - you can't leave enough stopping distance because someone will fill it!!))

Fingers crossed, that's all - Don't want any more as I would quite like to build up a NCB!

One accident in a year, wrote the bike off. Pulled out infront of a car when I looked wasn't there. That made me actually stop at junctions instead of creeping over the line. Plus the car that hit me was going over the limit, but not by much I don't think.

Wouldn't really call all of them accidents but here's all the damage i've caused to my bikes.
1) brand new NSR rolled of it's side stand the day I got it.
2) strip of slippy concrete in a tarmacked car park on NSR
3) dropped newly aquired GPz when turning around in a car park as it was heavy (compared to the NSR!) and i'd just given it a full tank.
4) low sided GPz into a curb after pissing around on a mate's rebel 125 all day.
5) croydon council van turned left while indicating right damaging engine casing and disks.
6) hit some diesel 4 days after fixing the above

That's my lot...so far...

One proper accident in 2 and a half years.

I've actually got some coursework on a similar topic due in very soon. I'm hoping when I'm finished people on here won't mind helping out by filling in a quick questionaire. Thats of course if I ever get it done

[KevTM]

when i had my AR125 in the winter i went out on it to college, which was about 30miles away.

THe roads were ok where i was but once i got to college it was icy. Anyway, going about 2mph turning left over a cambered road and it just slid away from me and broke my fairing!

i knew i was going to fall of too.. doh

[mrchips]

I have never had an accident involving anyone else, though in ice I had a 15mph drop. No damage was caused to me and the bike just needed its left indicator bracket straightened up again.

[JimboJ]

2 Crashes:

1st was my fault on the nsr, decided I would put the anchors on in the wet whilst overtaking, Bad idea!

2nd I was happily riding down a road across a set of traffic lights, As I got half way across the junction someone pulled out in front of me. Currently sueing him for around £50K, the claim was started this week after 18 months of hospitals, operations and physio.

[John]

Haven't had one yet. *Touches Wood.*

I hit a car mirror once while filtering though (SCORE! .)

Hopefuly I can keep it this way, but I guess it's not that likely.

Don't think the mirrors on the mini would be high enough to hit the ones on the bike.

Broken kneecaps?

[G]

Haven't really kept count as such. Over 30 easily, probably a fair few more in the 7 or so years I've been riding (not 7 full years of riding).

[Dusty]

Few, not as many as G though.

Hit the front of some tarted up Escort RS on a country lane while riding my DT50. Broke 2 toes.

Never Crashed my TZR.

Had a very low speed crash on my VFR, due to ice, didn't get hurt.

Rode into a curb on my R6 in a car park, broke my wrist and thumb. Then high sided it on an airfield and broke my collar bone.

Ain't crashed the Bros yet.

Just the one that left me in a coma for six months a fractured femur, a foot that will require amputating within the next few years and a disability for life.

Going after a stolen vehicle, I got T boned and was wedged under the bandit vehicle with the driver revving his engine trying to escape but my crash helmet was wedged so tight he couldn't move. They had to jack the vehicle off my head to get me out.

I now have a size 14 left foot and a size 10 right so I can't wait for the amputation at it may get rid of the constant pain I am in but i have been told to expect phantom limb syndrome.

So in 2 million miles, not a bad record I guess!

Been riding for about 11,000 miles in one year (but bike was off the road for most of it, damn ZXR)

accidents..

1) ZXR, too fast into a corner on a bridge, hit the curb thrown off the bike into the wall face first (split lid all the way down the front
) and knocked myself unconcious, woke up next day in hospital and had mashed my face in and various other things hurt , but nothing broken at least. Really cant remember the accident or about 2-3 weeks after it, it's just completely blank! Was drinking with a straw for like 2 months after that and could barely eat.

2) R6 meets motorway armco crash barrier. Nothing broken, bike was relatively ok and just me with a very painful right leg and very very painful finger (it's still killing me after 3 weeks )

That's all I've had really, not counting the time I dropped the R6 doing a u-turn on a very steep hill

[NSR125-Kid-UK]

No crashes on the NSR yet, but a few close calls.
on the 50, I locked the front up in the rain and slid along for a bit...
went round a blind corner and almost got hit by a volvo, locked up the front, nutted the floor and slid along for a bit.... and managed to Get thrown into the air while setting off, landed dodgy,resulting in a foot/knee that still hurts after 4 weeks, and managed to nut the floor .

[True Blue]

Dropped my NSR not long after getting it. I was doing a u turn a little fast and the front wheel hit some loose gravel at the side of the road and went from under me. I didn't actually fall, I was just left standing there with the bike on it's side between my legs.

The other incident was when I was exiting a roundabout. I'm not sure exactly why it happened, but as I was turning left off the roundabout the bike lowsided. I remember as I was sliding along on my side thinking " shit! This sounds expensive". I also got this overwhelming urge to try to stand up resulting in me doing a nice somersault. Wasn't hurt though.
