First Motorcycle Crash?

[Salty Suzi]

So, as said I had my first crash (and second lol) the other day, and sadly i didnt even catch it on camera . Anyway i burned my leg pretty badly on the exhaust, basicaly i have all of the gear besides the riding pants wich i ordered but are still being delivered.

How it happened was, it was pretty much the worst possible scenario and when i look back at it i dont know why did i even do it lol... it was raining, mudy downhill and dark.. and i had a set of road tires on instead of knobbies + i've never ridden that trail before
(i happen to be extremly dumb and make poor decisions at times xD)

as mentioned above i didnt just crash once but it happened twice in few minutes, i touched exhaust with my leg both times, fml rite..anyway, bike is fine and the rest of me is aswell

I won't be able to ride for a bit now, but luckily I managed to get some other footage that day so, i have stuff to make videos for a while.

what are your crash stories, was it your fault or someone else's? did you wear all the gear? were you or your bike hurt/damaged?

gimme something so i dont feel so silly by myself

OUCH sounds bad! D:

Ive been riding for 2 years almost now and Ive sadly never been in a crash but Ive seen so many here on the roads of Perth! just the other day i saw a little guy on a scooter pan splitting faster than me and he plower straight into the back of someones car! it was funny as hell to watch but then i stopped made sure the kids was okay and went on my way. though his scooter held up pretty well!

you shouldnt really worry about crashing it happens all the time!

ride safe!

 

[Salty Suzi]

heh yeah it happens, luckily my bike is alright (my leg will heal, but bike costs money ..thats a joke btw)
but i get injured pretty often doing stupid stuff lol..so i'm kinda used to it already...
luckily i've never really been in a major accident tho, only myself... i'm generaly more cautious when riding in traffic

Never crashed a road bike though I've had a good few close calls, but I've wiped out on dirt bikes too many times to count. A few weeks ago I crashed jumping a 40ish foot tabletop and jacked up my left arm, then the next day I was out doing it again and decided to go trail riding. Crashed and broke my left foot...that one I managed to get on video

Sorry to say I've never crashed (which is a good thing )... but am really sorry to hear about what happened >< ! What degree of burn was it???

Tons of motorcycles have crashed here in my city recently with many deaths . Matter-of-fact, Renegade had a video on it when he was up here on vacation. It's dangerous out there... like some say, gear first !

Hope you recover soon, pal ^_^ !

 

[Salty Suzi]

To be honest i've got no idea wich degree was it, nobody even told me ..but it pretty much burned the skin off my leg (aparently thats pretty bad lol)
i agree about the gear, but i cant resist myself, when i just got this cool new bike ,and I was only missing pants so i didn't make a big deal out of it,
well i learned something

and wow we had like 2 motorcycle deaths in the past like 2 weeks, and its a pretty small town, We had a lot of rain recently so everything was wet..

I haven't crashed yet... YET is the keyword... and I hope I don't my bike is my baby and I would die LOL!

I actually dropped my bike tonight. Was going slow, pulling over because the bike felt funny and I wanted to check the tires, caught a bike break in the road and it just yanked the bike down. Broke the right footpeg, hurt my dogs paw a bit and pissed me the hell off but no real hurts or damage. Got it on video, though it was dark so ya cant see much.

Oh my god man, I am glad to hear you both are safe! Poor puppie

Thanks. Yea we're aight, her paw got smooshed between the bars and the tank as it went down and she wont able to leap off like she usually does when the bike goes down....its happened before with people nearly running us over and once on a muddy dirt road...so she went down hard. But she's tough as nails, I checked her paw over and nothin was broke, after riding home she's fine on it.
But man does it piss me off, that sucker just caught and went down.

 

[RaggedReckless&Restless]

Worst part is the damn peg is $50....guess I'm just gunna have to deal with using the highway peg on the right side for awhile.

 

[RoninK6]

Salty, sounds like third degree burns to me, man ! Lesson learned the hard way >< !

Ragged, give your ol' lil' pup a Milk Bone and a pat on the head, ok ? Gad you weren't hurt that much ~.....

Wow, sorry to hear that Ragged. I hope you all are o.k. Glad to hear it was only a minor thing.

yeah this kinds of crashes are the worst lol (for morale atleast), i once dropped my SV on a standstill..i was sitting on the bike and had helmet on the tank and as the helmet started falling i was trying to catch it..and so i lost balance on the bike..boom dropped lol
i broke my clutch lever, but luckily i know a guy and i got a slightly different one for 10€, i just modified it a bit and it fit right on lol

well, crashing is kinda what you sign up for when you buy a motorcycle

Yep your right

 

[RaggedReckless&Restless]

Aha! I got slick and fixed my broken peg problem, realized the front and rear pegs have bout the same angle and setup so I yanked the rears off and swapped em for the fronts. The only thing I use the rears for is standing up...I can get by for awhile without doing that

 

[Salty Suzi]

good thinking, im glad my new bike, husqvarna is kinda designed for being dropped, so unless you get in a serious crash the bike should be fine
