There are bikers who have had an accident, and bikers who haven't had one -yet-...
I did quite well for a few years, but in the end had someone pull out on me to a degree where we bounced off one another.

I hit the deck, and the ambulance was duly called to scrape me up and haul me away to A&E.

"Says here this is your first accident, that right?"
'Yep, I was hoping for something a bit more spectacular to be honest.'
"Ha. Well, you're very calm for a first-timer..."
*pause*
'You've got me strapped head to toe to a spine-board, and everything is currently generally Your Problem... What else are you expecting me to do?' 0_o

Ambulance staff were great, as were the two guys prodding me to make sure my neck was still a neck.
However after they proved I was intact everyone vanished like mist... "Er. I've been told that all I need is some painkillers and to sign the paperwork, and it's been a couple of hours. Don't you want your A&E cubicle back?"
I was sure -someone- coulda used it...
