I was just wondering if there was anyone that hasnt crashed their bike yet, and how long you've been riding for? Dropping it by forgetting to put down the kickstand or something silly like that doesn't count.

 

In '91 I had my first street bike for about 6 to 8 months before someone cut out/t-boned me and put me in the hospital for 3 weeks. Fourteen years later I bought my second street bike. You can bet I keep my eyes open!

Oh yeah - helmet saved my life!

 

ive been riding since janauary and i have dropped my bike 2 times, but never actually been down on it. those times were both within the first week when i didnt know how to balance the bike correctly, and i parked it on a hill.

 

Bought my 600 brand new last August and no wrecks or drops for me. Knock on wood.

 

I already ate ****, 2000 miles since then though.

 

My old F3 I flipped it over backwards doin about 70mph. That one put me out of work for about a week. I got side swipped in the turn lane about 5 months ago on my 02 F4i. The guy that hit me tried saying that he was doing what he was supposed to and I flipped out on him. At the end of it he had to Pay to have a huge 10 foot crease down his truck fixed and I didnt have to do anything cause nothing happened to my bike.

 

50/50 so far on the votes, I was a NO !!!!! been riding since or have had my f2 since april of 05 got my M-1 license in May. Cant ride much between December to March so Ive only ridden just a few thousand miles since I have had the bike+ its not my daily comuter unless my Nissan pu takes a crap and Iam waiting on parts, rode today 100 miles round trip to the high desert and back no mishaps

 

I've been riding, on and off, for about 15 years. So far, knock on wood, I haven't had an accident or layed a bike down. I have had several close calls, but nothing that has required any repairs. Of course, now that I say this, I'll end up sliding soon and the bike will get thrashed.

 

i almost looped it today practicin 2nd gear clutch ups goin about 70.....i didn't luckily and because of that damn close experience i walked away from the day learning the most about wheelies thus far. Now i can actually ride out 2nd gear until it redlines, now i just gotta work on balencing it and keepin the rpms down. Oh and i freakin cracked my upper cowl comin down too hard from almost flipping it so tonight im doing a little fiberglass repair and paint so it'll be like new tomorrow

 

No crash yet. I did however customize my bike to make me look like I know whats up.
