RE: Number of Accidents
Two,
1. Early this summer a 20 year old bitch on a cell phone launced me from behind, I was stopped at a red light. She was still on the phone when I went to her window, grabed the phone and chucked it! she got 2 tickets. I was pissed! bike went into the shop for 4 weeks. She paid cash up the nose, no insurance but the Judge would have thrown her in jail. We need more like him, he made sure I was happy
1. In 1976 a truck on a country road swerved into my lane from opposite direction, I swerved to avoid a head-on and nosed dived into the shoulder. 15 min. later (I think) I was able to recoup and limped back. Wonder to this day if that truck did it on purpose. Heard of this happening to other people and in the news.

RE: Number of Accidents
3 which is 4 too many.....
So far I think I have used up 5 of my 9 lives on motorcycles so now I ride like an old fart........my worst crash was a head-on with a Ford station wagon. So when people who are afraid of motorcycles say "excuse me but do you know how dangerous those things are?" in that dried up bitchy whiney voice.(because it's usually Women over 50)......I can definitely say 'Yeah I've been run over by a car so what about it?." That has worked 100% of the time to shut up their piehole.

RE: Number of Accidents
Been "victimized" three times in 45 years.
1. Car pulled out from side street, hit it in the rear quarter panel, bent my front fender
2. Rear ended by a drunk who ran, crunched the trunk on my Aspencade, wife broke a rib. Drunk chased by a teenage girl on a bicycle and apprehended by cops.
3. Car came up a freeway offramp which was parallel to the on ramp, and made a U-turn just as I came up to his position. didn't see me. Bruised all over my body but nothing broken or lacerated. Helmet saved my noggin while being thrown over the handlebars and landing on the other side of his car on my back. Bike totalled.[:@]

RE: Number of Accidents
0 accidents on a motorcycle. 2 in a car...neither were very serious.
The closest I got to a motorcycle "accident" was a couple months ago. I decided to go right instead of left, so last minute I changed lanes..or at least tried to, when I noticed a cop pulling up in the right lane. I damn near dropped my bike right in front of that cop. Mostly just an embarrassing moment.
