Boy this is just a jinx in the waiting. No not yet, but I know my day is coming unfortunatly.

 

[ebbs15]

[Trip]

got hit a couple times in a car, not on a bike yet

 

[Rae]

yep, but not actually riding anywhere...just kinda coasting...i know, embarrasing huh?

 

[bumblebee]

more than once...Somethings, it seems, you have to do over and over in order to get it right...:wink:

I had a minor get off the very first time I rode my bike. It was a slow U-turn, target fixation on a curb, and over the bars into the grass. That was the ZX-6E back in 04.

I did have a close call yesterday morning though. I took an exit ramp that I look forward to every morning enroute to work. Well, its was like 39 yesterday morning and the back end slipped out on me. Yeah I know, cold tires and attempting my Rossi/Mladin impersonation, lesson learned.

[marko138]

[Gas Man]

Yep!

 

[TUNNEL VISION]

crashed my RC51 in a corner about 75 80 mph. Ya it sucked a**. for thoughs who have not crashed pry that i wont happen, but its just a part of the fun.

Pulled a rookie mistake on my 02 ninja zx6r. Saw that I was going to fast around a corner so I stood it up and went right off the road. I slid pretty good and got some good road rash. 1500 dollars worth of damage

 

[Gas Man]

Yep very typical newbie mistake... I have witnessed it many many times before!

 

[Chuckademus]

Any of you guys played football? I know that in both Rugby league and Aust Rules, the mantra is "if you go in hard, you won't get hurt, it's only when you go in half arsed that you tend to get hurt"

Same on bikes. I crashed at Eastern Creek not long back because I panicked going into a corner hard, tried to stand it up, and whammo! Seems every time I've crashed, it's been because I was riding hard, and then tried to "uncommit"

The answer to your question is "Yes, Lots!!!":dthumb:

:cheers:

I've kissed pavement. I was coming up on a turn and as I got closer I saw a big patch of sand. Panicked and hit the brake while trying to turn anyway. Wow the bike slid out from under me so fast, I blinked and I was on my duff.

 

[slammedtrk]

I had a major one! I T-boned a car in an intersection. Bike was totaled, front forks were ripped off the frame. I came out very good. Just minor road rash. I saw the guy coming thru the intersection and I locke up my rear tire. Then relaized nothing I could do so me and the bike parted differnet ways. To say the bike lost and I went sliding down the road about 75 feet.

 

[talisman_13]

Holy CRAP you got lucky! I got rear ended in a traffic circle going 15. The cage took off...I have a thread about it somewhere...:scratch:

 

[GIXXERCOBRA]
