Too many people are crashing. - Page 2

NevadaWolf · March 20th, 2013, 12:47 PM

I like reading the crash posts, not for entertainment, but to learn. What happened when where and why that caused this and how can I avoid it.

The biggest thing I've learned from a crash thread? I didn't have nearly enough insurance.

If you can't tell what will be a crash thread then you probably don't have the brainpower to operate a bike safely.

Bikers crash, it's a fact of life, whether it's someone who had an idiot pull out across them, someone who lowsided, ran out of road or whatever it's natural enough to talk about it.

Who said that they were proud of crashing, crashing means someone ****ed up, usually damaging a fairly expensive piece of machinery.

If people want to tell their story who are you to say they cant

Woah chill out there captain!

Im not the one starting the thread about too many crashes!

So stop defending people who don't give a ****

Not to jinx it but with the nice weather coming our way and more and more riders hitting the pavement i have not noticed a large influx of accidents on the forum, especially this last month. Lets keep it that way.

On side note, Track crashes don't count in my book.

As a newbie, I enjoy reading the threads and watching the videos. A great way to learn and analyze. I watch them with the same intent as I do a non-crash video, watching and learning. I'm just glad that the rider is ok!

I would say most crashes on this site can be avoided by a better rider but when you have a site that is for the ninja 250 you will get tons of new people to riding and things will happen.

Said perfectly and simply without leaving the rider out. I like the way you girls think.

Hopefully soon, they will upload my crash vid at the track. It's gunna be eye opening for me to see one of my crashes from another perspective (my first crash caught on tape). I am going to learn every single thing I can from the video and other riders take on it no matter their skill level.

I'm gettin' a GoPro today, so I'll be ready just in case. I wish/hope/want to never have to, but if I'm going to go down, I'll be posted about it WITH the crash-vid.

I'm borrowing a friend's GoPro for my track day in June. It's on the list of wants for hubby and I to get one each this summer.
