went in to hot on my old ex500 and overshot a turn and wound up in some dudes diveway. Luclily I bled off alot of seed with some hardcore emergency braking I ankle hurt and the bike had a few scratches...
later I went in a turn to hot again and wound up in a guys lawn...I keep the bike up but not sure how...
learned that I need to ride within my limits...if I ever feel the "panic" come over me in a turn, I know I'm going to fast...
a year later I got my 6r and was riding with some buddies, was taking a right turn at an intersection about 15 or so miles per hour and lowsided. Me and the bike slid about 10 or so feet into oncoming traffic...luckily I was wearing my gear so I was basically unhurt but my bike was pretty banged up. The frame sliders saved me alittle bit of cash.
The lowside was from some light colored sand/dirt in the corner that I didn't think was enough of a hazard to slow down.
nowadays, I think everything on the road is a hazard...
I just need to learn to slow down on public roads and enjoy the ride...
