Some call me... The STIG!
This stems form the 10 Motorcycle myths. One of the myths was:
A CHP once told me many years ago (as he was writing me a speeding ticket): "There are two kinds of motorcycle riders; those that have been in an accident and those that are going to be."
Not sure I agree (although I've had my share in 50+ years of riding.)
So lets see who's been in an accident or not and how many miles are under your belt.
Do the poll and post about how many miles you had been riding when (if) you crashed (*edit* Street bike, on the street only. If we include dirt bikes it'd be a lot!). Hitting a deer, solo accident, etc, it all counts.
I'd be curious if not surprised to see anyone that's been over 100K without an accident.
I'll start. I have well over 125K riding experience (I know it's not much), around 25-60K I've been in two accidents. Both solo, one my fault the other low sided on oil in the road.
