Well... it happend.I crashed[:'(]i was riding with a couple experienced riders and was stupid and rode above my skill level and paid for it... we entered a sweeping left hand turn at about 55-60 just cruising. i knew my speed was to high for this corner and my skill level, i tried to increase my angle and got scared so i straightend up (STUPID) and braked for all i was worth. rode wide in the corner, hit some dirt and the bike flew over the curb while i skid along the street. Target fixation brings another bike down oh well, i guess. i JUST got a TZ-R so my head is fine, the helmet is trashed though. some road rash on my shoulder, hip, and forearm. got xrays of my pelvis and ankle and i didnt break anything. i broke off my left front turn signal and got a scratch or 2 on my body work. other than that, just my ego lol Live and Learn though!

 

glad ta hear your okay. heal up, fix yur bike get back out there.

 

glad you came out unhurt and got the first outta the way. i am still dreading my first dance with the devil.

 

haha yeah it was scarrier than i had expected it was going to be, but it happend so quick it wasnt TOO bad. I rode home from it, and rode to work this morning. definitly made thepain goaway when i got back on.

 

Glad your ok
yea its amazing how fast it all happens, also how' Fast your brain can process what's happening around you

 

u need to read some racing books bro to learn how to lean so that doesn't happen.

 

that sucks..... no gear ?

I ride with some ppl that are waaaay faster then me and they ride 600's. Don't even try to keep up through the twisties.

 

Good to hear you ok. Sounds like you and the bike came out alright. Ride safe!!!

 

ive read twist 1 & 2, as well as sport riding techniques. sorry ive been riding a couple weeks, still getting my "sea-legs" and btw, those books dont help your ACTUAL riding skill. they put the idea in your mind of what is supposed to happen. not how to ride. practice and instruction are the best ways to learn the physical control of the motorcycle. all of this is my opinion, so dont flame me for it plz

 

the good thing is you are here to tell your story and the bike can be fixed... get well fix the bike and take all you can from this so that you dont have it happen again.... Good luck
