slow speed crash stories

wife buys new 450r for b-day on friday!!!!! saturday we go riding and there is this hill climb that i started and no one else will do. its only 15 ft high but the last 2 ft are literally straight up ,soft sand 3/4 s of way up then its rock hard and you have to hit it with no runway (dead stop front tires on bottom of hill) at all. i made the climb with my 400ex which has bottom end torque now on the 450r which is geared high i hit it and go half way and bottom out, shake shake shake and i roll down. hit it again ,same result. this time im just gonna nail it , lots of wheel spin and when the tires catch that hard dirt the bike flips , i jump off to the side and watch it flip 2 times and land on its wheels perfect for me to try again right after i bend the handle bars up just a little . so here i go again!!!!!! this time when i got near the top i feathered the clutch and all my friends cheered and said i was crazy.

still day 1 with no after market goodies yet. we all go up this little hill which turns right at the top and i just had to roost it, well it has alot more power than my 400 soit breaks free and kicks me sideways which make my foot slide under the tire and i couldnt move because i was stuck. my friends thought i was playing.

still day 1 and iwas going to spray my brother in law but once again i did not know the bike well enough , came in to fast and my right front tire hit his nerf bar and i just sheared away from him. man did i feel bad .

so needless to say it was a real learning experience of a day for me on my new bike. no one was hurt , the bike had a little dent in front rim, slightly bent handle bars ,and some hurt pride.

My first 4 wheeler was a warrior and like the weekend after i got it i went to one of my friends house and was riding at the trails behind his house(they are very tight) well i went to look down at the right back tire because i thought it was flat but when i went to look at it a branch caught the left side of my handle bars and went off on the right,lol i felt so stupid i was in 1st gear!!

Then at one time i was riding at my house on the side of a field and started to walk it but it turned to the left facing the wood so i stomped on the rear brake but it was to late i still hit the tree...

well I dont have any stories about me but one time i was riding with my friend and he was on a very old junky 200s 3wheeler and he was trying to do a wheeliein first gear. He had his foot back on the grab bar and to get more leverage he swung his other foot around to the back but he did it alittle too fast and he fell off the other side and the 3wheeler ran up on top of his leg while he was laying there and then he couldnt do anything and i was right behind him watching him. one of the funniest things i ever saw on 4/3 wheelers.
