Everytime I crashed it was my fault, except when the stock can on my R1 touched the ground and unsprung my rear shock. That was the only time I thought to myself as I was sliding "What the hell??" The other times I was thinking "God damn, I'm stupid!" LOL

Its been a while, but it was completely my fault. Ozella trail, passed a truck, but as soon as I passed it, a tight left hander came up... target fixated on the big dirt pile on the side of the road and next thing I know, I am doing a summersault and springing back up. No injuries cept a little pride damage, and minor bike damage. Dont know if I would have made the turn or not if I had not fixated on the dirt, I was goin in hot and it was tight.... (sounds like Porno!)

Mine is different I guess. Typical driver pulling out in front of the bike sort of thing, grabbed all the brakes the bike had (nowhere to swerve to), hit dirt and front tire washed out. The other times, it was my fault. In driveway, doing wheelies, went too fast, grabbed brakes, hit gravel, same result as above.

Low speed offroading (on purpose) while braking. Locked the front wheel and ate it. Broke my clavicle.
