How many times have you put a bike down?




Due to my recent incident I'm just wondering how many people here on the forums have been in accidents on their bike or just had to lay it down, would like to see how many of the more experienced people have laid it down in the past and continued on riding through the years. Wonder if a moderator could make this into a poll possibly

I never have. But the ONE time I let another person ride my bike, that person put it down.[:@] It happened the same way your 250 went down, Stephen. She yanked the front brake lever too hard, the handlebars instantly jack-knifed, and down she went![:'(]

I did drop the bike once and I was only going 3 mph, slid 20 ft but when its black ice you got no chance. Got back up and my pants weren't even dirty and the bike didn't have a scratch on it. I was lucky.

Not counting dirt bikes i have had 1 in 2002 it all started in front of my house by asking the wife "hey hon wanna see me do a wheelie" last time that particular bike ever got to play. it was definitely a u tube moment man that was a nice 2000 zx6r too the damage was incredible
