Hands up all those that have never fallen off

Whoosh..............eh

14 days and 13 hours eh

IMHO - No. But not "loads" ;

The instances where I have had infinitesimal close escapes through
sheer bravado/stupidity/lack of experience is what causes me to ride
more conservatively now.

Before almost every manouevre on a bike I think twice and plan for the
worst as I (now) realize (far more) the consequences of things going
"wrong"

 

People who ride vehicles that only have two wheels tend to fall off
every now and then. It's a physics thing.

 

Actually tm Arnold Lunn, Ski Club founder member, c 1920s.

 

I bet he wears slippers.

 

It aint a matter of IF, its a matter of WHEN.
Falling off that is.
And in some cases, how often.

 

I've not fallen off since May last year (which also just happens to be the
last time I rode a bike, so far)

 

Metros/Nissan Micras are good for doing that in.

 

I don't think I've ever fallen off a bike. Now being flung off immediately
after hitting something, thats a different matter.

 

I drove a Micra once. Never, never again.

 

I crashed a CG125 about 20 years ago coming home from work but more recently
I sat on the R30, whilst pissed in the garage, fell off and knocked both the
R30 and the blade on top of me.

 

I like my Micra. Well, as much as you can like a car that's only got a
1litre engine in it...

 

They can overtake gsxr thous. Apparently.

 

Off a cliff

 

Were you naked ?

 

Where you making "vroom vroom" noises at the time?

 

Yes but for a Bay City Rollers scarf.

 

The R30 dose *not* go as smoothly as "vroom vroom"
