No but given the propensity for crashing my own bike I'm too scared to ride anyone elses.

Hoping to get a day booked up with Horse at some point as he comes highly recommended, just need to get some more cash coming in first.

Move along - nothing to see here

I wrote off a courtesy bike while mine was in the shop being repaired from somebody driving into me.

Somebody ran a red light into me - it went crash smash crunch
It's was sooo embarrassing calling the garage's own recovery sevice to tell them they might want to come and pick it up.

I ride friend's bikes slower than mine though (no really, it is possible ), so I've not binned a friend's so far

I poke badgers with spoons.

I chucked a 998 down the road on a test ride when they'd just come out. I had no intention at all of buying the bike, just wanted to see what it was like.

I managed to destroy my dads NC24 in a side on collision with a car still owe him for it as well the fact i broke my leg pretty badly kinda stopped him hounding me about the cash but im sure one day hes gonna ask for it all back.

Also slung his Gpz305 down the road but he wasnt bothered he hated it as much as i did and was glad to see it die

Took a friends trails bike swimming in a 4 ft deep ditch, very long walk back to get some muscle to pull it back out. Only took a second to bin it. It started straight off, needed a wash anyways
