Can't be many people who haven't fell off left?
I'm still in that club!

Pride cometh before a fall, young padawan!
Sorry to hear about the off chris, sounds like you got off lightly, and certainly a lot cheaper than I did! Welcome to the club, you are in distinguished company, away from smug gits like Scratchy  |

Sorry to hear. I remember hitting a patch of ice turning into a 10mph entry on my wee 50. Done nothing except bent the metal indicator bracket. Funny thing was, it fell and pushed the clutch in, so it ticked over in first for me just to pick up and ride off.

You'll find very few card drivers will give a toss.
I binned the bike TWICE last week, 1st time was my fault, go it out the garage and lost my footing, luckily it was on the grass, so was just a bit muddy.
2nd riding in Central London (enough said!) get knocked by some plum turning right with no indicator, clever move!!

Bah, my first and worst off was entirely my own fault. There might have been gravel there, but I still (probably) put too much throttle on and got spat off.
Almost any single vehicle accident involving motorcycles is their own fault (usually due to inexperience/ lack of skill from what I read), even if it's just that they've failed to anticipate the fact that there could be diesel on the roundabout. At the end of the day, everyone is responsible for their own safety. If in doubt, follow Stinkwheel's advice:
| Stinkwheel wrote: | If you starts sliding sideways in corners and feel the bike starting to go, I usually use a manouver that I like to call 'the monkey legs' which involves much flailing about of legs, banging feet of the ground shouting "ohshitohshitohshitohshit" and taking a big bite of the saddle cover with your arse cheeks (although I find this usually happens pretty much automatically ). |

nearly the same thing happened to me about a month ago
set off for work, it wasnt icy just wet but still i was taking it easy.
came up to this junction when a silly bitch in a Ford KA pulled out, i hit the brakes the front wheel sliped sending me flying into the car.
My Kawasaki AR 50 was wrote off  and i had a gash in my leg which was down to the bone.
Which reminds me does anybody want to buy some Kawasaki AR50 Parts.
