4 street crashes. at least a dozen 0mph drops spanning 3 big bikes... probably close to 20 crashes on the 50ccs... but you dont get hurt from crashing those... unless you wheelie and the front wheel falls off and you go over the bars into one of those planter things... my brothers friend did that one time.

0mph? Thats pretty easy also... Lose your footing, forget the kickstand, trip, slip, park it on an incline, you could even cough too damn hard and drop it at 0mph

Went down once, 2 guys jumped over a wall & landed infront of me with about 1.5 seconds reaction time on a wet road, tried braking but realised that wasn't going to work in time, off the brakes & went to swing it around them, clipped a patch of tar & lost the front. kicked the bike away from me, it passed the guys on the left, I passed them on the right, destroyed my right shoulder.
The 2 guys almost pissed themselves laughing & ran off. Motocrossed a corner in the mountains after clipping a patch of gravel on the turn in, bike stood upright & ran wide, I got it over the gravel, leaned in & ran onto the ditch, put my foot down & straight into a hole, bike tipped over & balanced on my leg. I had to have my buddy hold the bike up while I got my foot out from under it. My Sidis held up very well & I didn't even bruise. |

The first time was a crash around 30 mph going around a familiar corner, it was my first month of riding. I looked down at my gauges for a second, looked up and froze up. I went right of the side of the rode down a slight grass hill and tumbled across some small rocks around a storm drain. The bike and I were okay making it a cheap lesson.
Second time, my bike fell over... all by itself! I don't know what happened, I put the stand down hopped off and 10 seconds later... thud. My bike got more damage from that than my crash. Oh and a baby deer hit me. |

I almost dropped mine in my school parking lot yesterday while stopped. I had on wood bottomed dress shoes, as we are required to wear business clothes to class, and when I put my foot down it just slid.

I'd like to stay sufficiently within my comfort zone while on the road, and I'v never been on the track hence the zero. I have crashed my road bicycle multiple times though.

Ha, I'm gonna hit some gravel sooner or latter and go down. But I'm hoping it turns out to be later.

TWOT2 suggests your ride at like 70% (If I Recall Correctly)
I did tag a deer in the butt, but I didn't go down

Just voted one.
Low speed at wet railroad tracks. I respect harder-triers and on-the-edge riders. For me, moving from point A to B among a bunch of lunatic and unpredictable drivers every day is enough adrenaline rush.

I lowsided once pretty unexpectedly upon trying to pick up my bike I found the surface was really slippery. It was at night so I didn't really see anything in the turn, but it looked like there may have been some fresh oil on the pavement. On the track its been fun on the bun as they say haha, just a couple of manageable slippages from the front or rear tire.

One full on crash, that sucked. I had a like 2mph lowside in some grass after I ditched a corner riding faster than @Jiggles, not sure I'd count it as a crash though. BT-016s aren't so great offroad

well.. motocross bikes mostly... just like u i always ran out of fuel... in the middle of a forest. thats why i gave up motocross and went on street this year. ninjette still serves me well so i didnt have to walk her home yet, but before this, i walked home once or twice per week and never dropped it but as you said... it can really be tricky not to lose center of weight, especially when you are tired |
