Accidents are not random - every single one I had, I did something wrong; so no, not curbing the enthusiasm, but making me a better rider - by better I mean safer. Usually it comes down to failure to pay attention, really... failure to read traffic, failure to read road conditions... or doing something incredibly dumb.. Posted Image

Edit: Better than sex, that depends on the riding you're doing. And the sex you're having. Just sayin'.... Posted Image

Accidents can be random, when i was 14 i ran into a 5 foot hole going 65 mph on a trail i use to ride every single day, one day someone just decided to dig a hole in the trail. Ruptured a disc and could barely walk for a month, flying 6 feet in the air head over heels and all i could remember was looking up and seeing the bike about to land on top of me, take one like that and its hard to breath after you land. (think my helmet came off, cant remember) Was back on in two months training for the Houston Supercross like a psycho. My friend got the same thing, same trail, different hole, sprained his wrist...one month later he ran into another hole (LOL) and called it quits with his tail between his legs, but he was the type that just rode to show off though.

Another time i took a corner wide and ran into an abandoned tilling machine hidden by overgrowth and flew over the bars - almost got decapitated on that one ! Next day some people that saw me go flying pulled the tilling machine away with their truck, that thing was completely hidden and only 3-4 feet off the trail. Rode that trail 100's of times and never once noticed it.

Lord knows i should've been dead so many times by now.

I replied before i read your story. My helmet didnt come off, but it did ride up..so i sustained lacerations on my face. Cut tongue, lip, forhead, nose, chin, mushed up my nose catrillidge,fractured part of my right hand, and have a deep cut on my right hand. Have had two deviated nose sectum surgeries and still not quite right and its given me a dorsal hump. My hand needs checking again as im still in pain. BUT, considering all that, i came off with very little scaring per say. Im healing really well. My jacket was a right off...dread to think what would have happened to my body if i wasnt wearing armoured gear. Now have an alpine allstars jacket and heavy duty boots, draggin jeans, gloves, and of course a good helmet (imported). I dont use all that for day to day town driving, but for out of town trips, even day trips, you bet the gear goes on!

Ouch!
I'll keep driving a scooter!

yeah ,because scooters are safe !

#5043932 Anyone Else Having Problems With Iplayer?

Posted happydays on 2012-02-10 11:22:41

I've been downloading programmes from the BBC iPlayer website for some time now using a VPN service called MY Private Network. For a couple of days now when I try to download something I get the message "Please wait while we acquire information for your download" along with a spinning wheel and nothing else happens. I am able to stream programmes on my PC so the iPlayer web site definitely thinks I am in the UK. I contacted the VPN service but their suggestions haven't resolved the issue.
I was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem?

Cheers

#5000473 How Do You Cope/Plan To Cope In Thailand When 70+

Posted Pseudolus on 2012-01-23 21:02:34

Very interesting topic. Now, I am only 35, but my only desire to return to the UK is to see regularly my grandmother who is in a home there. She has developed basically the same condition Tom Hanks had in Castaway with the volley ball, in that she talks to and treats a picture of me when I was 10 as if it were alive "I must go home now, little Ad will be scared of the dark" kind of thing. She is 91. In the UK in that state it must be made bearable due to the family around you. Here I wonder if the lady you married 40 years younger than you, now pushing around a 85 yr old for a decade; could the care level get any worse? Yes. I guess it is the time when you find out if she really did love you or the cash and family security.

I see regularly one old boy in my local Big C; his missus leaves him in KFC as she does the shopping and he must be 85-90. The look on his face as he tries to reach the plastic straw on his coke is of pure malevolence. There is about 10 years of ingrained hatred in his face and each time I see him I am tempted to ask him if he wants me to pop to the Pharmacy for him for a bottle of something to ease his passing. He is beyond being able to of himself, and maybe he stays alive just to piss his missus off. He should be in a home though. For me? I will off myself long before that stage if nature does not do it first. It will take a pretty special girl for me not to do that.

#4974257 Mukdahan

Posted riepan963 on 2012-01-12 19:14:08

Many years since I had a night out in Mukdahan so totally out of touch with the best entertainment places, eateries etc. Reuniting with 6 old friends so town centre would be preferable but a few km outside is OK.
Answers please on open forum or by email, both are fine ...........

Whenever I fill out an application in the part where it says " Who to contact in an emergency" I always put "AMBULANCE". I mean, I love my mother but what on earth is she going to do?

A computer once beat me at chess but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

You don't need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

Whoever coined the phrase "Quiet as a mouse" has obviously never put one in a microwave.

In my experience most people don't act stupid- it's the real deal.

Never tell a lie unless it is absolutely convenient.

The lottery- a tax on people who aren't very good at mathematics.
