Well had one drop while street dragging on a RG 8 years ago. Wasn't my bike but belonged to the "brothers". Broke a bone on my left pinky finger and I cannot bend it properly till this day. This was probably the worst I had

Dropped/crashed/slipped my CBR250 as I was doing a hard left turn at a junction. No big damages just scratches on the left fairing. Will never use Dunlop Arrowmaxes.

Almost dropped my CBR900RRS on a mud patch while pushing it but manage to hold the bike at the tank part at a 45 degree angle for 10mins till someone saw me and gave me a hand. No scratches and I was exhausted holding and pushing the heavy beast...

I have had numerous drops moving my bike around but only one serious incident on a bike (actually a moped).

This was in Australia before I had my mototcycle and I was riding around a on a nice 50cc moped.

I don't know what exactly I was doing on pedestrian walkway, but I was zipping down flipping past through the suburbs on a straight piece of pathway, through the corner of my eye the next thing I notice was a big fucken bumper comming out from my left.

SMACK I go, did a nice superman dive and a rolly poly on to the grass on my right *phew*. I was pretty dazed and confused at what the heck happened but I was lucky that I didn't get hurt. I realised it was a big massive SUV that hit me, the lady mum jumped outta the car was pretty shocked at what happen and she mentioned she usually beep the horn when comming out of drive ways but this time her friends baby was taking an afternoon nap so she didn't bother (great I thought).

Yep. I learnt my lesson about riding on foot paths.

Three days after I got my licence, I decided I was going to go on a KB ride. No gear, dodgy rear tyre, first time over 80kph.

Managed to keep it together until Kaiaua, but on the way home I did the usual trick of running wide on a corner. Hit gravel, hit fence, over the bars head first. Thank goodness for the fence, a large drop down a near-vertical bank.

Bent forks, scratched tail/exhaust. No gloves, so hands were bloodied. Visor scratched to hell, small chip off helmet's chin-guard paint.

Gained more than I lost. Learned a healthy respect for eating tarmac; crashing at the same speed on a mountain bike, you come off much better. Bikes are more painful. Also got to know GiJoe1313, who escorted me back to his house and cleaned up my hands/checked over my bike. Lent me some gloves that he still won't let me return. After seeing a photo of my hands, Quasievil gave me some prototype gear for free.

Lose one crash, gain one community.

Reading shit like this really rages me up

Anyway, my first bin:

Was going a bit fast around a corner, lost the front end, bike lowsided, and was rapidly approaching the edge of a 2m bank, so I just hopped off, rolled for a bit, and came to a stop safely in some bushes. Bike landed upside down on some rocks.

Well, I didn't 'crash' crash yet. And i don't intend to.

However I did the hard way the importance of putting a GN siestand down BEFORE you hop off it. ><

The crack on my fairing is from slipping on the curb by Stephen's house, catching the bike, and having the front wheel slide down anyway. As I was going less than 5k at the time it wasn't really a 'crash', but a drop. Which won't happen again!

Yes, very exotic stories form me, I know :P
