I've been pondering one of these for awhile. There are pro's to keeping crash threads in General and Riding Skills, but there are pro's to having a separate forum just for our crash events as well. We have enough of these threads (found almost 50 threads in just a minute or two), that there is certainly enough volume.

Here's a link: !%@*#$%!)@#&!%@ I crashed! (http://www.ninjette.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=40)

If you see a crash thread in any other forum, just hit "report this post" or bump the thread with a post, and I'll move 'em into the correct forum as I see 'em.

I just hope that ppeople will read these threads and learn from them but not see crashing as a "badge of honor".

Beautiful!

I was just reading another crash section on another forum and was lamenting that we did not have something similar here. People always post with different subjects too, so there was no real decent way to search for all of them.

I think crash reports are really helpful in learning from other people's mistakes and misfortunes. Also helps to keep from getting too cocky, and remember that this is a dangerous sport.

Good work! :thumbup:

And get people to understand:

1. You (not *you*, duck duck goose) did NOT "have to lay it down"
2. If the bike was moving, it's a crash not a drop
