Okay, I fucked up.
Kira Brown
I was doing a U-turn, some bugger decided to shoot past me, I was a
bit distracted by this, hit the kerb and the bike went over.
No damage to me or to the bike, but as this was the first time I'd
come off it while the engine was running, it counts as a bin I suppose.

Oh Kira, why you? I was hoping it wouldn't be. Even though it was only a

I've been thinking about that actually. Does it count as a bin if there's
no damage to bike or rider? (And I didn't really fall off; I felt the bike
passing the point of no return and stepped off it quick-like, and then
eased it down to the ground.)
Pretty embarrassing though.

Nay.
Onebus and I would have a slightly different definition I fancy.
Although I do agree that binning it has connotations of significant
damage, to either bike or rider.

Did that when I droped my Divi backing out of mates drive. I felt it go
post the point of no return, jumped off and eased it down onto the
pavement gentle like. I would have got away with no damage at all if it
wasn't for an uneven paving stone. A corner was sticking up that made a
nice big triangular hole in the fairing....

Why is it you never drop a bike when there is no one looking?
And if you do drop it on top of you, why does it take at least two
minutes of shouting before some dopey bar-steward lifts the bloody thing
off you?

Steve, don't worry. I have failsafes. If I fuck up I do it in a *safe*
way. I have spent ages practicing the *safe* ways to move stalled bike
out of way of traffic and stuff like that, and so far I've only cocked up
stuff at v. low speeds- like when moving bike rather than actually riding
it.
To be quite honest the thought of actually crashing this thing scares me
witless, and I will do everything in my power to avoid it.

Everybody remembers their first crash. Why, when I were a lad, you
couldn't consider yourself a proper biker until you'd had a truly
spectacular/mightily stupid binning moment.
Preferably accompanied by at least a broken wrist/arm/toe/something
minor.

If that's the ukrm definition of the difference between a bin and a
launch that's fine by me. I still rode the Ducati home when I'd done
just under 2 grands worth of damage to it. Perhaps it was the fact
that I was so ashamed at dropping the bastard pulling wheelies that
helped me get on and fuck off quick :(

It's not hard to do 2K worth of damage. Just dent and scrape a few
things. I bin normally results in the bike being able to fit in a
dustbin or the like...

chatting to a frog biker in pub, he was staying in a friends cottage, &
suggested we ride back there for some more beers..... there followed a

was so focused on keeping the tail light of the mad frog's Guzzi in sight.
as we got to the cottage, he rode straight in to the open garage, I

If anything other the the tyres and rider's feet are touching the ground
when the bike comes to a halt, then it's a bin ;-(
Still, I've known MZ's to get binned at ~80 into the gravel at Brands,
and the total repair bill has been 89p for a new number board ;-)

Oh, I don't know...on the SZR, I can some to a near standstill, flick
out the side stand, and come to a halt gently settling onto the stand,
without having to put my feet on the ground - kind of like a moon
lander thing. Or whatever.
I'm not concentrating properly today.

wrote:
In about 1977, a mate of mine coined the phrase, "Chased up the road".
He had, against all advice, bought a Vespa - IIRC his reasoning was
that a larger engine was permitted in scooters than mopeds and he
therefore availed himself of 150 throbbing cc. Trouble was, nobody
else had one, so he had to find out about it for himself.
The bloke he bought it from brought it round to his house, chucked the
keys at him and buggered off. About a dozen of us gathered to inspect
the 'orrible pus-yellow thing and Eric (for that was his name) came
out to undertake the first ride. Impressively attired, he was, in full
protective gear - the tatty open-face lid that came with the Vespa
(replete with the stick-on eyes on the back) an ex-RAF greatcoat,
flared jeans, heavily-segged cowboy boots and a fuck-off pair of
leather gauntlets that reached his elbows.
Eric strode to the scooter, elbowing the assembled throng aside,
inserted the key and stopped. "Worra Ah dae now?" he asked. "Torn the
key an' kick it" was the consensus from the cognoscenti. So he assumed
the position - gauntlets on the bars, teetering on one foot on the
cobbles of the back lane and did. Several times. It didn't go. Not at
all. Shrugging off all the increasingly derisory advice, he kicked it
lots.
None of us watching knew that it had an interlock which prevented the
engine firing if the shitter was in gear, did we? The back lane sloped
gently uphill, so the guy who sold it had left it in gear. There was
no neutral light or any clues for us kids. Eric tried it with choke,
without choke. With full throttle and none, and all positions in
between. Not a sausage. Until Eric pulled the clutch in. It fired
then. At nigh-on full throttle. RRRRIIIIIIINNNNGG!! Eric was so
shocked - he let go of the clutch lever.
I will never forget the sight of the Vespa disappearing up the lane on
it's back wheel with Eric running desperately alongside. There was a
cloud of blue smoke from the exhaust, sparks from the segs and the
whirling greatcoat tails vanishing at speed, accompanied by the
soundtrack of rrrriiiiinnggdididing rrriiinnggdingding "FUUUUUU...."
As it fired and went up on the back wheel, he twisted the throttle,
didn't he. Open all the way. Couldn't close it, could he, not in those
gauntlets, anyway. I swear each stride was covering ten feet, once
they got up to speed.
You can't let go of something you've just bought and let it crash to
the ground before you've even sat on it, can you? No, you hang on to
it and run like fuck, round the corner, on to the road and up to the
T-junction, across the junction and into a garage door.
Through the collective hysteria, we heard the crash from 150 yards
away, as Eric and his Vespa tried to make an unauthorised entry into
somebody's garage. We couldn't help, we couldn't bloody move - I was
lying on the ground holding my ribs, me. A couple of the lads actually
wet themselves laughing. We laughed at them, too, to make it fair. We
had to do something to pass the time before Eric came back, pushing
the Vespa. They were both dented, red-faced, scratched and sweating.
And swearing. We stopped laughing, because Eric was a big lad. We
couldn't breathe, anyway.
Doc reckons that the Laverda is possessed, but it isn't as bad as that
bloody Vespa. Kept the rest of us entertained for months, that thing
did. Even when he tried to do an insurance job on it and chucked it
off the cliff, the coppers brought it back. It didn't matter that he'd
taken the plates off it, everybody in town had seen him pushing it
home many times and there was only one of them. He had to scrap it
properly in the end. Then he bought a Viva van, but that's another
book of short stories.

No, no, no: there's a dodgy 1960s proto-porn film called "World
Without Shame" - one of the taglines was "Where the only rules are the
rules of Volleyball". The other was "They retreated to an Island
Paradise...took ALL their clothes off and started playing VOLLEYBALL".
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
TRXs are v.good value, and lots of fun. My SZR is fun too, only it's
not exactly running at the moment.
