Its such a shame that there are so many accidents amougst us. 90% will always be sombody elses fault.

Since this accident I have been seriously put off riding / racing and I'm a very bad car passenger. Nothing like crashing on the race circuit. Personally I believe racing is safer.

it is by far unless its a freak accident as of late alot of my bike mates think there invinsable when they don there onepice leathers i think out of 20 or so 2 are dead and over half limp or have fussed joints in there arms or shoulders some p155 themselfs at my ped now altho i know its just jest

My gp after going over the handlebars due to a rear blowout.

Just after I got mine a year ago and before abit of changing/adding badges/taking off front bars.....
Rode every day for work, 5miles each way.

And after I got knocked off a couple of weeks ago


(Dusty lens on my old phones camera so not great quality....the paramedic took the 2nd pic)

Broken collarbone and humerus (not in the slightest bit funny to brake ). Just glad I had proper gloves and coat on that saved my elbow and knuckle for sure....i'd only had my new winter gloves a week too!!

been riding like a lunatic for 3o years, never hurt myself or even scratched a scooter, i have to say that these days on the motorway i have a creeping front end blow out paranoia, it slowely gnaws away at me mile after mile like a little voicenin my head til i start desperatly hoping for the next exit and a nice flowing B road full of deadly T junctions and pissed up hoodies in zouped up corsa's.i feel queezy looking at these photos. the older you get the more you think about this, my son is on about doing his CBT and i will be buying him a full set of armoured clothing for Christmas, thankfully he doesnt think a kangol pisspot's cool.
