How many times have you crashed a bike?

[Richard]

Had a green benelli 1130 and was pulled out on , I had crash bungs on the bike  and it punched a hole in the wind , I went round the ‘a’pillar and we bounced off about 5 meters down the road. it took nearly 5 months for parts and repairs. When I got it back , 4 days later a van reversed over me at some traffic lights when he decided he was in the wrong lane. I changed the bike fo a bright yellow one after that.

1. Head on Collision. Young Boy racer on the wrong side of the road, yes we were on the Cat n Fiddle (bike and me were a total right off)

2. White Van Man on drugs and charged at scene, decided to reverse over me. He decided to anchor on whilst travelling down a country lane and just started reversing without warning. Received a letter from the Police this week to say the driver was due to appear in court last week but never showed. (Currently on going)

I fell off my moped on the first day back when I was 16, 37 years ago. Not fallen off since but been rear-ended twice while stationary.

Crashed once in the last 10 years. 

 

Postal van pulled out of a slip road, I dodged by swinging into the oncoming lane, but then he decided to go into a U-turn and *phwak*. 

 

Before that...

 

Crashed twice when I was 16, once hitting a chunk of brick and I grabbed front brake with the steering not straight. Then again in heavy rain when I aquaplaned and put too much brake on. 

Did well until I was 19, I had a low speed drop on the Cat and Fiddle when I hit a couple of blobs of diesel going into a bend. Then when I picked it up 3 weeks later, I was hit head on by a merc at a cross roads. Messed me up pretty good, house deposit level payout, got to see my big toe bone sticking out among other breaks and cracks up my right side. Walked with a slight limp for something like 2 years. 

At 21 I was pulled out on by a lady who thought I'd flashed her. I'd hit a dip in the road it turned out. I hit slow, but ended up on her bonnet. Her fighting through insurance cost her over £15k in motorbike hire charges.

At 23 the postal van accident mentioned above. 

 

If I make it to 33 this year, I will reset to 0
