I plan on riding in the bush and doing video blogs of me chilling in the bush after a quick blast on the dirtbike/dualsport/enduro or whatever you like to call it.
I've been riding since I was 14-15, and I'm early to mid 30's now, only had one accident. I slipped over on a pebblecrete driveway in the wet.
Want to know the trick?
Act at all times like you are 100% invisible, and never put yourself in a position you can be harmed. Defensive driving for the win!
I think I want that bike.... :(
You know what the farmer said when his cow died?
Geesh, it never did that before.
I'd say you been very lucky up until now. Your strategy is gold though, you have to be that way because no one is going to pay attention. In fact, I think some people purposely harrass bikers or at least are aggressive to them.
I just think everyone with a bike for more than a short time is going to be in an accident, and it's just how the dice rolls how it will turn out.
Yeah I was lucky to avoid injury in any significant way. Worst part was a slightly sore wrist from catching the bike before it hit the ground.
I also keep distances around me when riding, like a 1-2 second reaction time incase someone does something silly while I'm distracted checking a mirror or something. This takes about 1/2-1/2 a second, so plenty of time.
Now if you want to talk about dirtbike riding.
I have had many falls. hahahaha. Some of them were pretty good ones. Never really got messed up though. Couple of bruised egos and butts and ribs maybe.
Bike looking sorry for itself with a broken clutch or front brake lever.
Most memorable for now would have to be my first.
Flat out on a 50cc PW two stroke, with an automatic gearbox and 1 speed. hit a patch of sand. the sandpit ate the bike and I kept going.
Good times.
