| Training Wheels Joined: Jun 2008 From: Pullman WA I Ride: Road Rash 1 | I'm done! Well about a week ago i put my bike down hard leaving my driveway. Cold tires and a little road debris took me out. The bike went skipping across grand ave and came to a skidding halt in the other lane trying to make friends with the guard rail. Clutch is busted and a few bolts are minus heads. Over all the bike is repairable but not rideable. So as i said i am done with riding until next spring i have to fix up my busted as r1. I had a great summer and i hope to make it to some bike nights this winter. Gum-B |

sorry, it's a pet peeve, people not owning up to their own mistakes and blaming external factors that THEY failed to adjust for. coming out of a drive way....bike skipped all the way across the road, there had to have been some speed there... | |

| MotoGP Champion | Winter? RIIIGHT! You guys just keep betting it will come, I'm betting on Al Gore, this place is gonna be smoking hot real soon like! Man your incident does suck, but if I hadn't crashed so many times I would still be on the same damned bikes. Life has reasons for things like this. Suck it up and ask for help, piecing it back together for a track bike! I do wish I was closer, although I don't want to live there, but if I did, I would gladly help you. |

I crashed once because of cold tires too. I also had a handful of throttle at the same time. I learned from my situation because I evaluated what I did wrong and figured out a way to prevent it in the future. | |

| Training Wheels Joined: Jun 2008 From: Pullman WA I Ride: Road Rash 1 | hahaha you guys crack me up. To much throttle? no. To much speed maybe. to much lean angle who knows. Bottom line I crashed. I think it is funny how people will gripe and bitch about how i need to own up to what mistakes i made to crash. I have crashed so many times that i do not even stop to consider what i did wrong, because if i did everything right then i would not have crashed. Gum-B |

This is why I put my bike away when the leaves fall though. Too much debris and last year I was riding into November and almost put my bike down when i hit a patch of ice. Not worth it for me personally. | |
