Most of us had at least one. Creating a thread to discuss them.
My first was when a dog ran out in front of me and I could do nothing but run him smooth over. Not going very fast but I still ended up having my right leg crushed between the road and the bike. In a brace for 6 weeks as tendons in the right ankle, knee, and hip repaired themselves.
Last crash was in the late 80's while in the Army. Was block racing in my KW454 when I felt the top end of 2nd gear slip the rear wheel. I thought it was just traction so I grabbed some clutch and dumped 3rd gear. What really happened was that the gasket around the oil filter gave way and spewed hot oil on the ground coating the rear wheel. Little road rash and loss of pride was all from that crash.
Knock on wood, I haven't laid her down in about 25 years.
What kind of crashes have you had?
