I dont think you were at the track yet, but last time I was so drunk when I got there, and had to push my bike from the pirelli guys all the way to our pits, I have no idea how I didnt drop it

I just sold the ninja a few days ago, I went 1 year and 5k miles with no drops. There were a few close calls, but nothing too bad.

How many times.....

How many times have you crashed if you can count...? I have 3 crashes under my belt so far....

I don't look at my crashes as failures, but rather as lessons. In a weird way I have a sense of pride after every crash...

There is definitely already a poll thread on this. It's kind of a weird thing to poll on because your answer technically (probably...sorry - accept the truth) changes. Unless you're replying at the pearly gates.

I live in fear of dropping my bike. The tank is custom made from aluminum. Everything on the bike is hand made. I have not dropped it yet. I have dropped every other bike I have had. But I am really careful with the 250.

Lowsided my first bike once… simply failed to power through a corner. Total brain fart. Was going less than 10 mph.

That was 25 years ago.

In a car or in traffic? ZERO! All crashes were when pushing my bike to its (or my) cornering limits. So women drivers? Badass!

I don't think crashes on the track really count. That's like me crashing my dirtbike. If you ain't crashing you ain't ridin

But any crash on the street goes against your record. I have zero.
