Only one worth mentioning, Lost control on my first bike, slid off the road and out through the woods. Hit a log that was laying down at about 40 mph. Flipped end over end through the air (from what my friend says) over 3 times. Landed in a Floral Rose patch, which made me wish I was dead. These thorny vines ripped me up like I was dangling a steak in front of a cheetah. No broken bones though, just major lacerations and a totaled bike. Helmets Rock.
Oh, by the way. When I got my first street bike my dear old Grandfather gave me some good advice. He said "There are only two kinds of people that own motorcycles, those who have had a wreck and those who are going to have a wreck."

1. Was a small suzi enduro at age 11, was just learning to ride and forgot about the clutch so I couldn't stop. I ran into the side of a barn doing about 30 mph. No broken bones but plenty of bruises and blood.
2. CB750K that was modified for racing. I was doing some street racing at night. The favorite spot for this was across a lake damm which dead ended on the far side into a big parking lot. Set up to run a sport bike and took off. The sport took me off the line but I passed it within about 200 yards. I was close to topping out at about 150 when I seen a back hoe parked across the dam and hit the skids. I knew I couldn't stop so I seen a small opening just behind the bucket and went for it. I miss Judged the size of the opening and pegged the rock wall and flipped the bike into the lake ( thank god I was only doing about 40 mph at that time). Broke ribs, leg, and left hand. bike was totaled.
3. Full dress Honda, age 24. Was coming back from a nice ride with seven other bikes I was in the lead. A cager pulled out in front of me so I hit the binders. The bike behind me wasn't watching and rear ended me doing 35 mph ( he was inexperienced). Busted my ankle, right hand and dislocated my shoulder. I also received a concussion when my skid lid split open like a ripe grape from the handle bars.
Too many small bumps and dumps to count .

I am an older guy now but when i was younger I thought Evel Knievel was tha Man I tried all kinds of ramp stunts on my bike getting alot of air I made ramps out of doors etc,,, I had so many disasters, I remember one in particular where I had this real steep road that came down to our house I built the ramp in my yard maybe 25 feet into the grass thinking I could get a lot of speed comming down that monster hill off the road and hit that ramp jumping a massive ditch well? I came down with plenty of speed alright maybe 35 mph once my tires hit the front yard I got into a terrible wobble I still aimed my front tire at that ramp which was way too steeply built, I imediatly went soaring over the handelbars doing a very fast one and a half flip and hit face first into the ground, boy that hurt even hurts thinking about it. thats just one as I grew up I had lot of motorcycle wrecks as well still believeing I was EVel I made so many mistakes but had some cool success too.

reckoning on the city of your position of living you may look on-line to typically document a rfile. If the city in which you stay does no longer grant on-line reporting you may might want to bypass right down to the police station and document a rfile. because of the very truth it really is been over six weeks the possibilities of a few thing being done are in truth slender and maximum probable the police will say that it truly is a case for small claims courtroom be confident to take any clinical statements to the police station with you, as any and all training may actually help you alleviate this situation.

I CANNOT REMEMBER ALL OF THEM...
AS A KID MY PEDAL GOT STUCK ON THE SAFETY SHIELD OF THE CHAIN SO I HAD NO BREAKS. I WAS GOING DOWN A STEEP HILL AND HAD TO CROSS ONE OF THE MAIN ROADS IN MY AREA! IT STILL HAUNTS ME! I WAS LUCKY THERE WERE NO CARS WHEN I PASSED. I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE THROWN MYSELF OFF BEFORE CROSSING BUT THE BIKE WAS GOING TOO FAST AND I WAS ONLY 6.
ANOTHER TIME I GOT STUCK WITH THE TIRES IN THE TRAM RACKS (OR WHATEVER THEY ARE CALLED) I HAD TO FOLLOW THE WAY OF THE TRAM UNTIL I FELL OVER...THIS TIME I WAS OLDER AND COULD SEE THE HUMOR IN IT. I WAS 20 AND IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN AND A SHOPPING AREA!!
ANOTHER TIME I GOT CAUGHT WITH MY JEANS IN THE CHAIN! I HAD TO FIND A GUY WHO COULD HELP ME RIP THE PANTS!!!! ALSO AT THE AGE OF 20!
LAST TIME I REALLY HURT MYSELF I WAS PROBABLY 23 AND WORKING AS A BICYCLE COURIER! ONCE I GOT CAUGHT IN THE TRAM RACK AGAIN AND ANOTHER I HAD SUCH A BIG PARCEL I LOST MY BALANCE AND FELL RIGHT IN FRONT OF A CAR!
ANOTHER TIME WHEN I WAS AROUND 12 I WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE SIDE WALK! THE PEDAL GOT CAUGHT ON IT AND I FELL ...ALSO IN FRONT OF A CAR... THE PEOPLE IN THE CAR WERE HYSTERICAL AS THEY NEARLY RAN ME OVER...
MY SISTERS FRIEND GOT RUN OVER BY A CAR WHEN BICYCLING AT THE AGE OF 16. SHE IS IN A WHEEL CHAIR NOW.

was a early winter morning and i was going down the flyover it was really foggy morning visibilty poor but had deadline to catch and rest you know how u become one with bike just where flyover ended i had to execute a right hand turn like every morning
i saw it was my light and road was empty so i went vroom knees almost touching the ground .... .. oh i love that turn it was like one of the huge curvy turns
now a turn is only what 4 second max ... but i remember those moments as in hours...
when i was like starting to turn i realize i was alone on road... lol... there was huge dump truck who had just jumped red signal and was like kinda over me..... due to bend of my turn i was almost under the side of the truck.... its rear wheel as i looked back was like inches away from my wheel and am bent in a turn....
if i slide more am under it if go upright i am in the truck so i jsut increase the speed of the turn.... and slowly slowly i am coming out of it in a bent formation.... and my rear number plate couldnt excape the wheel and it rubbed to the trucks huge wheels and i was like in the air in split second ......
what happeend after that is miraculous both me n my bike we like 10 -15 feet in air... am on her... and we landed on soft sand which for no reasons was piled up like 8 foot high soft sand pile next to the road and we both on the sand... got up... shivering with cold... lil of adrenalin rush...
and man had most memorable smoke that very moment... and was like.. yeah God i know you exist...

I was riding my neighbours Grifter (I think that's the name, cant remember) and it was too big and awkward and I went off the pavement and flat on my face. I still have a small scar to this day.
