So how did you crash?
I was a noob went beyond my limits and put my ninja in a ditch going about 60. head hit the ground so i bought a new helmet. complete noob mistake. Was back to riding the same bike less than a week later and didnt have any issues. I sold it 2 months ago.Quote:

FWIW - While I didn't hit the car "head on", I hit their front tire while it was coming at me (TOTALLY my fault). I was doing AT LEAST 50-60. My helmet was literally torn apart and I walked away. Although it took about a month before I could get my leg over another bike... :DQuote:

The 250 didnt have the cornering ability for the turn and I had to 'lay her down'....
Hey, new guy....don't take offense. Ive crashed the fuck out of some expensive as shit Ducati's.....

Damn! How do you hit a tire coming at you and not have it run over you! Or did it?Quote:
