For those of us with mutliple "offs"... use the your most recent "inccident"

So who was at fault?

Me, riding outside my limits. Honestly I'm not sure how or why, guess I just leaned too hard through a turn and the front tire gave way.

I can not remember a crash, street or dirt, where I was not to blame... at least in part.

is anyone surprised with these results?? i'm not look at some of these rider down threads: racing on dalemebry, going too fast around a curve, colliding with another bike(lol cecil)....

the only time it wasn't really my fault is when i got hit by a drunk driver, but i should have known better then to ride my bike to work when i work in ybor

Yes it could have been, that was the highest lowside I have ever done. Bike went off its way and I went off my way, Luckly we both missed anything stationary. IE trees and street signs.

Oh and done the stupid kickstand thing (though it was down when it was only kinda down) and fell over like a sack of sh!t.

Lowsided at Jennings. My fault.......though the suspension is VERY worn out on the bike. I'll take the blame.
