Title: Have you ever had the same crash twice?

Back in the 1970s I asked my father (RIP) if he ever rode motorcycles, an embarrassed grin split his face. He was still a soldier at the time I asked, and had been when he tried to learn to ride so as to be a military dispatch rider back in the 1950s. Alas, he wrote off two 'Beezers' by skidding into the same Mile Stone on the same corner TWICE. They told him they had no more bikes left....not for him anyway. What did they say about lightning?

Yep, Hit twice in the same spot just round the corner from you.
 Heading south on King William St and a car turned on me who was in the outside lane in to Monument St. The guy was lost and didn't want to cross the river. Two weeks later the same again but, this time it was a truck in 1990.

OMG Trigger!  ;D My first spill was with a police bike that pulled out of static traffic, copper too busy smiling at lady in car.....dink! That was during the 1982 NHS march...and right in front of Buckingham palace!
