Hands up all those that have never fallen off

I've been using this newsgroup for about six months now and it would seem
that everyone here has fallen off at one time or another... or is this not
the case?

I haven't fallen off since about 1985.

 

I haven't fallen off since November.

I plan to fall off 2 days before taking my test.

 

Blimey 1985... some on here haven't been alive that long.

 

Yebbut I never put my hand up did I? So I'm not replying to the
"Hands up all those that have never fallen off" bit, I'm just
commenting that, being a superior riding god[1], I haven't fallen
off for a while. So "nyerr".

[1] Either that or I don't ride very fast.

 

CT let forth with a mighty belch and uttered :

Hah! and Pah!, I haven't fallen off since 1996 so ner ner ni nerr nerr...

Oh tittybiscuits.

 

I haven't fallen 'off' so much as fallen 'over' whilst sitting astride
my bike...

 

Hmm, well quite a few regulars *not* on the road. Track bins don't count, do
they...

I haven't trashed it on the road for <sucks teeth> 18 years.
Q competition.

 

I got my first m'bike in 1984.
T'was a fizzie and yay I fell off of it quite a few times actually

I assume this also should include being knocked off .


This Reminds me of this thread FSR:

death with wittery prose along the lines of:

Comes with the territory.

I can't remember how many times I've binned bikes. The worst count,
was 4 or 5 on an R80RT, when I dispatched.

I think I binned my GS125 quite a few times, but lost count, as
learners always bin bikes.

I never binned my CHiPs Z1000 nor my 550 Zephyr though.

 

I binned my Fizzy once, my RD200 once, and my GS550 loads of
times[1]. I don't think I binned the 650 Kat and I definitely
haven't binned any bike since.

If you're not crashing you're not trying hard enough. (tm Champ?)

 

If you ride for long enough, you'll fall off IMO. The last asccident
that I had involved hitting a pedestrian whilst filtering. I stayed
on the bike (barely), but SWMBO fell off. The last tiem I fell off
proper was about 10 years ago.

But can you learn to be competent rider without taking loads of risks?

I haven't fallen off since last year...
