been down a handfull of times....all were my fault in some shape or form. i would like to say i learned something valuable from most of them. most embarassing was when i had busa delivered to my work (after a week in the shop for (crash) repairs wayne from chico motorsports drove 1 hour to my work) that night leaving with work i tried a power up wheelie with cold tires over a manhole cover...bike spun out from under me....very messy...record for time between wrecks...uh about 15 seconds or less.....another $3,500 in damage...wayne thought i was joking...he had only been home 2 hours since he dropped the bike off....
Been down once. Hard. Link...
I wouldn't necessarily say it was anyone's fault, but it was preventable. I could've taken a different route with a lower elevation (less wind) and more open highway, and I could have rested more before I set out on the ride. Poor judgement on my part for being there in the first place. I didn't consider how windy it would be at that altitude, and probably didn't react as quickly as I normally could have because I was very tired from hooning it up all weekend at the Bash.
The more I read this, the more it sounds like my fault...???

2X, both my fault. 1 to avoid a head on and the second was being too aggressive on the throttle, high side.

all my fault. too fast, too slow, sand, gravel, snow.
forgot to bleed my brakes once, Ahhh no front brake.
when i was a kid, i used to drop my goldwing in parking lots quite a bit.
went down last new years day, pushing through a foot of snow on the busa.
all my oopses were uasually a result of me making bad choices.
i donno, im guessing i wipe out 1 out of every 1000 close calls.

I have been down in the dirt several times and I’m sure all of them were my fault. I have been down twice on the street and only one of them was my fault. The 1st one was on a two lane highway with a double yellow and I was riding just left of center of my lane when a 93 year old man crossed the double yellow and hit me head on. The speed limit on that road was 55 so I would have been doing about 60 and according to the guy behind the old man, he was doing 40-45. I spend 6 months in the hospital but my skid mark was still in the road, I went and measured it….8’ long and went from left to right 2.5’’. I had no time to react so I classify this as not my fault. However; I did learn a valuable skill from this. After I got back on I learned how to judge the speed of oncoming traffic; had I developed this skill prior I may have noticed he wasn’t going the speed limit and I may have reduced my speed, move towards the right hand side on my lane, and covered my brakes. This may have saved me but I doubt it. The second time I went down it was 100% my fault. I was too hot in a turn and ended up high siding it…..my bad, lesson learned.
My wife says its always my fault.
So that's why your wife named your first born "Asphalt",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, cause it was her a$$ and your fault!
I can say this...
The big crash of 2007 it was not my fault, not speeding, paying attention, just happened...
NOW
99% of the close calls I have had were my fault, riding out of my skill level, too fast, not paying attention... I have been very very fortunate that I was able to recover or that there was an out for me... I ride much more focused these days...

:stoopid: i just thought of one that was NOT my fault! :goodidea:
How my bike got her name.
"i was barely asleep when we hear a kaboom up against the side of my parents 5th wheel trailer.
i lay there thinkin "that's probably not normal/or good" my dad gets up saying "what the hell was that?" he opens the door and says "get the hell autta hea, go on git before i pepper your ass."
i already know some big animal has tried to rape my baby! He's right, a big black angus bull had mounted her and knocker her over!
my dad tells me the bike is knocked over. i zip up and put on pants. took both me and my dad to get the bike up and out from under the trailer.
i even left dusty barefoot prints on the side of the trailer tryin to get her up from the wrong side.
we set her up, mildy servey dammage, crunched right side fairing... again. broke windshield, i go to sleep gigglin, what else could i do?
im the morning i hunted down a cop and did an incident report. told him i didn't realize this was open range. he said "ITS NOT!" rancher has been told a number of times to fix his fence and get his stock out of the park!. ooo im gonna rake him over the coals!
broken/dammaged stuff
right brake lever, right side fairing, nose section, bar end, mirror and boot, broke my brand new tour screen (way bummed about that! i just got it a week ago.), dinged muffler, poped a fairing plastic rivit, lost forever i looked but it was just gone. is that it? i think so.
only me! im still gigglin. its just too funny! poor ol Bessie. didn't know she was a horny cow."
