52 years old, riding on road for 36 years. Zero offs/accidents/collisions, etc. Hit dogs, cats, eagles, emus and sideswiped a priest but never came off.
Many, many 'orrible offs/accidents/collisions, etc while riding dirtbikes or road bikes off-road.

Just over a month from 60 and last fell off a road bike in 1977 after getting maggotted in a lunchtime pub session. Still get clowns wanting to retire me, but so far spotted them before they got me. A couple of slow speed offs on dirt, a cracked rib or two.

Unlike Camel I haven't blown (by and swiped) a priest, but they deserve it and there is time for everything!

I'll be driving the MX-5 tomorrow - just in case.

G'day
That getting maggotted reminded me of one but it doesn't count...after a big drink back in the day I rode home as usual (we used to do that) and pulled up at the lights at doesn't matter where and was so pissed I forgot to put my foot down so fell over in the gutter. Laid there for a short minute or two and then thought shit I had better get up or someone might think I'm pissed! So got up picked up the bike and continued home to Copacabana...and it doesn't count coz Pete said standing drops are not counted :)

I can add to this now :(

Thursday a car hit\clipped me - first time ever.
I am ok - bikes damage is being taken care of - just the plastics to worry about later.

G'day
Crikey this thread caused some reminiscing...
I got my licence 44 years ago, but rode around a bit before that.
Couple of skin-off moments on dirt...
Had a time out from riding about 1985-1999
2 crashes since 2000, one mostly my fault, one smidsy
And yes, I'm 64

Update...now I'm 65.
Add one more to the mostly my fault list (though I don't actually remember anything about it)

[grapyono]

I am 48. Only riding 3.5 years but I have ridden 80,000km in that time (Yes I have kept a record!). 2 crashes, one I lay the bike down so I did not smack into the back of the car that went then didn't! The second I was trying to work out where my wife went wrong when she crashed.... target fixation on her crash site and I did a nice duplication only 2 hours after her off...
