Aeons ago I wrote off my Commando while on holiday in France. My mates sawed the usable bits out of the bent frame and transported them back so I could rebuild it. The same mate whose parents we'd been staying with over there lent me his C90 which I managed to highside on a roundabout be leaning it too far, breaking my arm Guess who wasn't Mr Popular.I have also blown up a mate's 350 Aermacchi. Dunno how, but it seized on the Mountain, wrecking the piston and bore, bending the titanium conrod and cracking the head |

Yes. My very first time on a bike back in the '70s myself and 2 mates went out to some forestry commission land to practice. I managed to ride his bike into a tree He wasn't very impressed |

No, never....but loads of my mates have crashed my bikes! Still happy to lend mine out though, it's just a machine after all and without fail all of the crashes have been repaired at no cost to me! Them's the rules if you're on someone elses bike....you bend it, you mend it! |

That's my favourite. ![]() How much did that cost you? I borrowed a mates Gilera Runner (that he had hired) when we were on holiday. Upon returning from a quick blast on it, i saw my mate was stood outside the hotel waiting, so i went for a big high-speed rear wheel skid, with full opposite lock on to impress him and several other bystanders. Unfortunately, the bars didn't turn fully to the right (i'm guessing the steering lock had been broken or something) so i found myself in a high speed skid that was drifting steadily to the right and i could not steer into any further. Needless to say i twatted it into a post and landed at my mates feet via somersault dismount. The 15-20 people that saw it, all loved it and though i was a hero | |

Trashed a trackday hire bike at Silverstone. It started raining at the start of hanger straight and I low-sided it at Stowe and gently slid into the gravel. Quite lot of damage though. There were about four bikes that had trashed it on that lap, including a spanking new 675, so the recovery van was quite full. Handed the bits back to the hire guy and then joined the que for the photo's. Several other guys in the que were looking at it and doing a post mortem without them knowing it was me who lobbed it, with my favourite quote being "That's definitely rolled and been flipped a few times with all that damage". |

I've wheelie'd, then sort of one wheeled, then flipped a mates trike? One of those kawki 250 two strokes that broke everyones limbs. Turned it back over and away it went. |

I've dropped a couple of Couch's off road bikes, but they were already scraped, so it didn't do any more harm Never properly crashed somebody elses bike, I always ride like a little old dear on it if it's not mine.
