I have my fair share of ‘offs’!

Mick – What’s wrong with the KX in that picture? Is it just the snapped rear guard? Do they have a subframe there?

The seat snapped underneath and the pipe isn’t supposed to stick up in the air like that. It landed pipe first from a fair height over a table top.It was only a few weeks old and in perfect condition when it happened.
Mum ran to the rider and I ran to the bike laying on it’s side fully pinned..she is still up me over that…….:blush:

Don’t worry about it, my Mum told me not get a bike again and I’m 29! She was worried that I was going to total myself (probably with good reason) like I did on my road bike 8 years ago…

I am no stranger to road bike offs as well. I have done the superman over the bonnet of a charger,while riding an RD250LC with a pillion passenger.That was my first and biggest road off but had several more big offs before I woke up to myself.

Ha ha you win!! I lost the front wheel though a corner (that I rode most weekends), slid across the road on my arse (bolt upright) in front of a Range Rover, through a bush and into a field. My bike was 2 months old

It’s quite funny now. It wasn’t then!

I am still sporting the scars from that little foray down the road.So it is something that I will never forget.

Other than a sore shoulder, some bruises on my hip and a smashed up bike I got out of it okay I called home and asked my dad to call my uncle so they could bring the van out before the police turned up. I dragged the bike across the dirt (in the field) and hid it behind the bush. Luckily it was a country road so you don’t see police down there too often.

I took some quick talking to ensure the guy and his wife in the range rover didn’t call the ambulance

Big crashes are bad
When I was 10 I fell off a pushbike and fractured my skull.
Also when my son was ten he fell off a pushbike and broke his arm in three places resulting in a compound fracture needing a plate and screws.
Scared me to death

Those pushbikes are dangerous, bad news those

All but one of my emergency visits to the hospital have been from push bikes,the other was from snake bite. Never been to hospital from a motorbike.
