are there any bikists here who have never fallen off?

[stinkwheel]

Never fallen off a road bike. Crashed a good few times though.

I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles.

I fell off my Raleigh Chopper going down a hill too fast in Cornwall when I was 12, does that count? No motorbikes though

feel off my first bike on the first day I bought it, stopped at a junction on a bit of a hill, lost balance.

did something similar doing a u-turn in the Lake District.

couple of crashes in my history too but nothing dramatic.

[struan80]

Dropped nearly all the bikes I've had but never crashed as such.

[Ayrton]

Fell over practicing clutch control in my driveway after I failed my CBT the first time Other than that I've not had any accidents other than dropping a bike when I tripped over my own foot.

Ive never fallen off. I've hit things hard, been thrown over the bars by a highside and have had a wheel slide out.

Never just fell off.

My embarrassing moments have mainly been while parking on loose surface and once actually in the garage.
I sometimes wonder if anyone has ever tried to ride an MC without first being reasonably proficient on push bike.
And what would happen if they didn't have that previous two wheel experience.
Would it be immediate disaster.

[recman]

Bicycles yes, motorbicycles no.

[Fullers1845]

Not since I passed my test.

Dropped a school bike on to the crash bars whilst doing U-turn practice, wobbled and slowly capsized as my puny 10st weakling body struggled and failed to hold up 200kg+ of road-weary Bandit.
Made the instructor laugh anyway.
