Crashes ?

[BlueDevil]

I have personally crashed a 2 wheeled vehicle 4 times in my life. Seems like a lot to me...... But what do I know?

I've crashed about 10, maybe a few more times on street bikes, mostly at the track. On dirtbikes? I couldn't count that on fingers and toes, in my first year alone! It's almost expected to crash dirt biking though, it's a bit different than street.

Your right, that is scary

[BlueDevil]

Shew..... Maybe Im doing ok so far....

Im assuming not injured in all of these huh? Thats a lot of recovery time.....

Broken thumb and still racing... ?

I raced PPIR with ribs... Broke, cracked, bruised...Im not sure. Never went to the Dr. and they all feel about the same and the treatment is the same as well..... So Y bother ?

Ive onlyu had 1 on a dirt bike and it was the worst of all of them... Still aint right after that one in 12/03....... Ill stay off those for a long while

[Hoopty]

Only 1 broken bone in all of my wrecks. LOTS of cuts, scrapes, and bruises though.

1 street wreck, totalled the bike and partially separated my right shoulder (still pops from that). Flew over the bars and hit the ground headfirst, always wear your gear!!

1 dirtbike wreck at SCR in the 88's. Lesson: Knobbies just let go when you lean too far. No permanent injuries, but I did get a very slight concussion.

1 pocketbike wreck at SCR in the 88's. Lesson: Achieve full tuck position *before* reaching max speed. Managed to both highside and lowside, with a flip! Other lesson: Even after crashing I still kicked Dean's ass. Could be because he was laughing too hard. Injuries: Rash on arm and knee, scars still present. Girlfriend will not let me ride the pocketbike without full racing gear anymore.

So far that's it, I'm sure I have a nice racebike one coming at me sometime soon.

Wrecked about 5 times street and track! One broke collar bone, and one broken bone on right hand (5th metacarpal)! I never really rode dirt bike's, mostly quads. I have crashed doing that more times then I can count on both hands and feet! What Im really surprized about is that I never got hurt except for a few cuts and bruises, and we were always doing crazy/stupid shit too!!

[~Barn~]

1.) hit by car on a '99 R6
2.) lowside in parking lot on '00 R1
3.) flipped over stoppie on '00 R1
4.) flipped over wheelie on '00 R1

[Gramps]

1 street in '95 or so


also too many on a dirtbike to count

but safe to say i just about kill myself every time i ride a dirtbike

i like to get in fights with trees

[cu360r6]

7 total crashes in 3 years, 2 on the track, one head injury that almost killed me.

[Anonymous]

I think I win.

1996 - 1 (street) - sore shoulder but nothing broken
1998 - 1 (street) - a bit of road rash
2001 - 1 (street) - bruised ego
2002 - 2 (1 street - 1 track) - no injury
2003 - 2 (1 street - 1 track) - minor injury in street crash, but nothing broken
2004 - 5 (track) - 1 concussion. Got run over too, but nothing broken.
2005 - 1 (track) - another concussion

Total: 13

No dirtbike crashes (never rode one), and it seems that, for most people, they don't fall into the same category.

wow, enough talks about crashes....you are gonna curse me!
I have been riding over 6 years on the street, same bike and no get offs. Been hit by cars 3-4 times, nothing that caused me to "go down" (though one guy picked a fight with me, hit me with his truck at a stop light, then got out and tried to kick me as I was trying to get the bike off my leg).
I think I am hitting the end of my luck though...went canyon carving like a month ago, had the back end come out on me 3 times (enough that it made my heart jump) then got side swiped and knocked into another lane at about 65MPH on I-25 on the way home.

Check your tire pressure. Make sure its within specs. I know that can definately cause issues - speaking from the experience of the exact same thing happening to me on the Daytona the first time I took her into the canyons feaking out that my tires were balder than I thought the way she was sliding out on me. Turns out tires were fine. Tire pressure was WAYYYYY off.

[Dysco]

5 street wrecks= 1 broken leg
2 track wrecks= cracked ribs
1 bad dirt wreck= 2 broken ribs

50s are a different story- I'm not gonna talk about that

[AshliRider44]

Only crashed on dirt bikes so far..... guess thats what happens when your dad starts you out on a 250 when youre 5"4 Lucky in the street so far, havent started racing yet so..... hopefully I'm not jinxing myself right now...

[Mel]

Vance, lost the back end in the gravel....just a lil when you are laid over in a turn will cause a lot of issue.
