Spectacular motorcycling accident

[Polynomial]

MMM let me see, I am 16 and have ridden a motorbike twice and have a crash rate of 100%.

On my 11th B'day i drove one off a 4 m cliff that left me very bruised across my face (That's what a spinning tyre does to you) but i surprisingly didn't break anything.

And 2 years ago i was riding a bike and hit the accelerator (i didnt know that i did) and ran fair into a fence.

As you can probably gather I am going to avoid motorbikes.

When I was 15 I took my cousins ZZR600 Kwaka for a quick spin the local bypass (he is a policeman!) and I ended up under the bike and in a lot of pain!
Then about 8 years later a mate of mine suggested doing our motorbike tests together, and I thought what the heck, it'll help me get over the fear, and it'll reduce my insurance on the car.
A week after passing I had my first big boy bike, and every chance I get I ride.
Bikes aren't dangerous. Half-wits in a crash helmet and leathers are.....

My only crash was on one of my first bikes when I was 16...(1950)... ...!
A 98 cc Sun 2-stroke... ...!
I had removed the rear wheel for some reason, (probably a puncture), and when I put the wheel back in the frame I forgot to replace the rear brake torque arm... ...!
So...
The first time I applied the rear brake, the brake drum rotated and  locked up the back brake and tore the wheel out of the frame.
The bike finished up as a mono-cycle and I was firmly planted in the road.... ...!
..(I think I cried a little at the time...) ...!
I've been very careful ever since... ...!

Im too smart to drive a moto, but my friend once drove his bike though a fence and flipped over.

and another time he was taunting an old lady when he hit a pot hole and some how he tore up his knee.  then the old lady laughed at him.

Motorcycles here really are mainly for recreation, not really as functional transportation.  

I know a person who got hit by a police car whilst they were chasing someone.  He got thrown about 15 feet in the air and the bike ended up underneath the cruiser.  Now he's got a Harley with illegal exhaust!

P.S. Mark what have you against Volvo drivers!


And put me down for a bloody T-72, bi-turbo with the shiniest hubs you can find, spiked treads, urban camo, and make sure it is street legal!  And don't forget some rounds filled with some lovely BBQ sauce!

Fozz, you didn't happen to invent the motorbike, did you?

I dont have any street bike accident stories....yet

I do have motocross accident though, I went off this weird jump at the track, it was a real kicker, I ended up doing a unintentional superman mid air., after that I thought I got my feet back on the pegs, I was wrong and I entered a world of pain on the landing
