    Had a nasty accident 2 days ago on a 4000w electric mountain bike i built.. Cut my leg open and my right side completely bruised up.. Luckily that's a scratch compared to what could of happened..

    Rear motor hub wheel came off (With torque arms) while i was doing 40mph+ and crashed (luckly) on a field rather than on a road as i heard tarmac is less forgiving :p

    So bad news for you lot as you will have to put up with me in till further notice i guess.. Hope i didn't disappoint too many people as i am sure some people would like to see me "gone" as i am a right grumpy git at times.

    But on a serious note i just want to say i am pleased to be sitting here typing away as i could of been up there playing PA for eternity

    Not sure if i should go for a motorcycle or try again with a electric bike :p

    Sounds like it would make a fun gif.

    I would. Wouldn't much stop me from choosing motorbikes. I mean, you should wear helmet, abraisive proof like leather or such, and prevent any scenarios that could kill you like driving to fast with any chance to collide with anything stationary or headon. Besides that, I would go with whatever you wanted most originally. Dont second guess it.

    I know I PERSONALLY don't ever drive where someone can end that driving abruptly, even entirely on their own mistake.

    I rode a bicycle for the longest time 11 miles one way 11 miles back 5 days a week, and even THEN I would drive around the back of cars who are waiting to get on the main rode from a side street or parking lot. Less chance of being hit if I am not actually in front of their vehicle.
