The CX is pretty quiet. On the subject of accidents I can honestly say that the first thing I ever did on a bike was rode it into a wall! I got on my shiny black and chrome Lambretta GT200 pulled in the clutch, put it in 1st, let out the clutch and wham! There was me on the floor and the scooter, still stood, leaning against the side of the shop.

Didn't put me off though:-)
