Re: Whats the furthest away from home you've crashed
lol, some people really have been inspired today!
Not sure how many miles, but it was right next to the Isle of Sheppey bridge and the last time that i ever came of my bike, i guess about 20 miles. Nearly ended up in the river medway for it too. Once again misjudged a corner and was tighter than expected, result, ended up on the outside of the corner.

Re: Whats the furthest away from home you've crashed
Furthest I can think of is on the IOM at a place called Ballacry................had a bit of an incident with another bike.
No great damge to me or the bike (ZXR750H1) mostly cosmetic ended up with a new paint job All I did to myself was a cut hand still have the scar.
The other guy was quite badly hurt broken leg all my fault too I got done for careless................... :wanker ...............Think he got a big claim off my insurance
Since then I've crashed twice more on the IOM when racing or during practise to be exact.
My bike fell off the stand once in the South of France but that doesn't count

The flying lesson was much nearer home at Dundrod (Ulster Grand Prix circuit)....................not near enough to make a successful landing at my house but close

I nie on wrote my bike off 200 miles away from home up in North Yorkshire. That was an interesting position to be in...

I don't think many insurance co's will recover you from an own fault accident? I've never crashed further than 10 miles away (unless you class the speedway in Scunthorpe). So as long as I've done 10 miles I'm invincible!
