My first bike, Honda CB250RS

First crashed it in Watford, checking out the girlies as i rode by in the rain. Hit brakes to hard for the next corner and slid off.

2nd Crash, North Circular Rd, just up the road from the Ace Cafe in fact. Raining again. Hit brakes to hard, slid off.

3rd Crash. Sheppards Bush Green. Checking out the girlies walking on the side walk. Car in front stopped. I didnt.

The first three were all in my second year of riding and all on the 250RS when i was despatch riding.

4th was on a CB200 Benley, also when i was despatch riding.

4th Crash. Roundabout by Heathrow airport. Side swipped a car on the roundabout. I was going to fast and honestly, HONESTLY, i did not see the car until i hit it.

More despatch riding incidents

I have run over a Japanese tourist on Picadilly Circus, smacked off countless car mirrors while lane splitting. Wacked cars with panniers, again while lane splitting.

Moral to all this. London Despatch Riding and Girlies can be dangerous to your health.
