My first crash :-(
 

Yep, had my first off this year.

Have only beed riding for 2 years so i guess its not that big a surprise......

Was riding slowlyish around the country lanes near woking, gong round a tightening lefthander when the traffic stopped suddenly to let someone out of a driveway ahead.

I braked too harshly and locked the front wheel as was still turning...... result lowside on my T9s and dend in Mercs back bumper.....:mad:

Ho Hum..... I guess we all make mistakes :D

Dropped my 998s going up a kerb to get into a shop for its MOT, cost approx £700 to put right, now all I`m weighting for is my seat & panels back from ProTwins!

none for me, but I have seen plenty !

mav

One for me I happened an hour after picking up the bike.:)

Dropped the 996 at 2 mph but that wasn't my fault (broken shock absorber).

Nothing else this year :) Got off lightly, really.

no luck, sorry to hear that mister. Just checked your profile, when you coming for a ride out at Box, and by boating do you mean yachts?

Grif i find one part of your post quite disturbing...

Unusually, I haven't crashed this year...but don't tempt fate, some of you may have put your bikes away for the year but I'm still riding*
