Mine was because of someone else's stupidity and my noobness. 17 with an Elite (hey, gotta start somewhere). Was zipping along at a good clip. And a girl who knew me jumped out into the street to get my attention.

I was new and she was stupid. So I froze until the last couple seconds until I did what I had been taught so far: "When in doubt, lay it down". Burned a hole in my denim jacket from sliding on my back. Had to buy a new helmet too. Right side rashed to Hell from the slide.

 

Back in 93 ,Iwas brand new to sport bikes and i bought a cherry 92 F2. was invited to ride with 3 other WAY MORE experienced riders, (all on F2's) and they took me to a spot that had multiple switch-backs and back to back chicanes, all about 5 miles worth, and we rode it it like ten times in a row. then , they stopped and warned me that they were fixin to shred it and dont try to keep up, just hold steady lines and be smooth. well my noob-ness at the time told me i could keep up. I was wrong..... i was rite on their pace until we hit the last double S when they dissapeared and i found my self with no line to follow and i could not stop lookin at the big muddy ditch opposite of me, funny how a sport bike handles on wet grass. sweet Jesus him self picked the spot for me to go down, slid on wet grass into a soft mud filled ditch. it bent my rear brake lever and broke my wind screen. all of my fellow riders were a big help getting my bike out and to their garage were i learned how to take apart and clean my Honda. they still laugh at me on that one. i still smile when i hear"dont try and keep up"........PRIDE-absolutly!

 

just my body.

She stood up to the jump just fine, I didnt, though

 

1st day trying the bike out after rebuilding it. Had a bald front tire, and I didn't have any slack in the clutch cable. Dumped the bike trying to drive out of an inclined driveway from a dead stop. Like 6 people saw it, it was horribly embarrassing. Still can't fix the damage on that side cuz I can't find an inner fairing.

 

I still have not done a drop (this is my second full season with my first bike). I hope it never happens but I suppose it is inevitable.

 

*Technical* worst hurt was the broken leg

Real hurt? I was SO MAD I rashed up my bike. I wouldn't even let my boyfriend help me up off the road until he picked up the bike and checked it out.

 

have to say fairings bc anyone who rides will drop there bike at least once

 

Got to say pride .

The first time I just layed it down , put the kickstand down , but only half way so it sprang back up . By the time I realised , it had bone beyond the point of no return , so I layed it down as gently as I could.

The thing is I was parking it right outside the bike shop in a crowded street and to make things worse a nice lady helped me pick it back up! Any pride I had was totally destroyed in that moment

Haven't thrown her down the road yet , not looking forward to it
