Wow JD, I should be thankful I was able to walk away without broken bones or stitches. I was also able to ride that same road again the next day on my backup bike (starter bike). I had to get back on the horse, my dad wrecked years ago and hasnt been able to ride since and I didnt want that mental block screwing with me like it did him..

Once.
Gravel on the road, me in a slow turn, me seeing the gravel, me using front brake, me going down onto grass/gravel mix. I almost made it, bike and me went down, lost my turn signals. I assume if I used back brake I would have been in better shape.

Once. At 1mph. I dont know wtf i did, but about a month or two ago i jabbed the front too hard with the wheel turned after washing the bike in the driveway. Down we go, no scratches. It was a slow fall, i tried to keep her up, just couldn't.

Haven't gone down yet, but some gravel and a dirt road that my husban'ds brother led us down in the dark which we had never been down almost got me...but I pulled out of it thankfully. Sportbikes and pot-hole ridden dirt roadsin the darknessdon't go together very well. I haven't gotten my frame sliders on yet, so I'm hoping I can keep it up at least until then...I'd hate to see my baby's beautiful body all broken up! Ride Safe everyone.

Technically, that's just a tip over and I've had two of those. I think an actual 'crash' is anything above 10-20mph. I know I'm due for one of those, so my tax return is buying some more gear.
