I've hit a deer and two turkey but never a bear

[uniped]

I would have to give the dumbest crash to a buddie of mine. I was riding a CBR600 he was on a Ninja 900 i was riding at about 55mph he hit me from behind at around 130mph he was tucked under the windscreen and could not see where he was going. left me with a life time of problems with right foot wich is initially the primary reason for wanting the e-start.

2 Years ago I sold my 91 GSXR-1100 miss it it was showroom clean ported, exhaust, 750 swing arm, many mods but my mentality at 36 is still that of an adolescent on a bike they are TOYS and I like to play! so I am better off in the dirt. any way I have more fun on my CRF Than I have ever had on any bike!

I think that if you crash in the mud or in the wood, it is still less dangerous than on sport bike, on the road there are car everywhere and it isnt soft mud or sand when you fail

well here in NH we have granite boulders and trees , lots of em and tight single track trails , did I mention rocks as big as your bike and TREES !
On a sport bike the crash ratio is a lot smaller than on a dirt bike . street riding if you just pretend that all cars are out to get you and ride defensively crashing just doesn't happen as often as on a dirt bike .

What happened to the bear? Your wrist looks pretty close to mine, I have a pic on the sweet taste of dirt section. I clipped a guy who missed a shift approaching a small double at Elsinore and left the jump with my left hand off the bars and my right pinning the throttle. Naturally the best seat bounce I ever had resulted in me leaving the bike all together. I cleared the double, so did my bike though we were not together, landed in the push up position over forty feet from the take off(had to go back and measure it for bragging rights). Two broken arms, a crushed left wrist, a plate and eight screws later, I can laugh it off. Just glad I did not hurt the other guy. Hope you heal well.

In 2003 I was riding on the far side of Kelso Valley, (Sequoia National forest). We were a good 40 miles from my truck. The trails were a little on the slick side and I ended up eating it going down a steep hill. I broke my right leg in 4 places. I ditched my bike in the brush and rode on the back of my buddies bike 40 miles to my truck. He didn't have rear foot pegs so my legs were just hanging down, and everytime he hit a bump, my broken leg would drag on the ground. Talk about serious painI finally made it to Henry Mayo in Santa Clarita and was told that I would need surgery. I ended up with a titanium rod, and 6 screws in my leg. After surgery the doctor told me it was agood thing I kept my riding boot on, because if I didn't there was a really good chance that I would've ended up with a compound fracture Well after 6 months of physical therapy and an additional 6 months of being sidelined I was back at it. Only this time a little wiser.
