My job entails travelling to various hospitals to retrieve organs 🙁 . I don’t want a motorbike.

Molgrips You ability to understand motorcycling is clearly coloured by your experience crashing into one years ago that you described.

What a nobber you are at times TJ. My actions that day most likely saved that motorcyclist’s life because I was concentrating 100% whilst she was making a dangerous manoeuvre by overtaking a car when there was clearly no gap resulting in her clipping the car she was trying to pass.

Give it up will you. Really. Please.

MF – I didn’t say it was your fault. What I said was that seeing that incident had altered the way you perceive motorcycles – which is a reasonable thing to happen.

Apart from I had confused you and Molgrips as I said so its all a bit irrelevant. Still – thanks for the insults.

Fair enough TJ – the wording of your comment could be taken equally as a sleight against the poster or show empathy so I accept what you say and happily withdraw my insult. On this occasion. 8)

EDIT: She crashed into me – I didn’t crash into her – it’s another thing that still gets me to this day was all the accusatory looks I got as it looked like this little kid in a fancy car (if a Ford Cortina 2.0 Ghia can be called fancy) had just mown this motorcyclist down.

(But is still never stopped me from wanting one myself BTW)

woohoo! hugs all round. 😀

“Oi, stop it!” after grinding the footpegs on a roundabout

Lucky I get punch on the head… Mind you I am out of the road for a moment :'(.

There is an awfull lot of truth in the words of PP and TJ. You make a mistake you kiss the ground. However and that is a very big however that is not when you’re going to get hurt. I crashed angela about a month ago. probably between 30-60 km/H. I was about 330 kms of cols away from home. Well I picked up the 3 pieces making the bike. Got them back together and rode home. I came off with a bruise on the leg and a small scab on the elbow (friction of the jumper with the skin). But then I was wearing a padded jacket a full face helmet a pair of gloves, motorcycling boot and trousers. If I had been wearing flip-flop and short it might have been worst.

Only thing we can figure from that is that you have no understanding of the concept of statistics 🙂
