1 so far. Low speed low side from turning into a friends gravel driveway and still touching the front brake like an idiot. Tire washed out and bike went down, I never even hit the ground.

A bunch of times, both street and dirt. The most memorable one was hitting a pothole at 80mph while doing a stoppie. Ended up sliding face first on my chest, rolled my shoulder to get on my back and saw the nice big TLR flipping through the air. Bike lands right on top on me. No damage to bike, a footpeg through the calf for me.

Alot on the assortment of dirt bikes and ATVs I've had over the years...

Only once on the street....showing off on cold tires....spit me off...shattered my hip socket on impact. Bike was whole again in a week-end....I didn't walk again for 3 months. Didn't walk without a limp for another 3 months. :/

Dude that's the worst feeling. I went off track at Roebling a few years back and got slowed down to probably around 40 before I hit the pile of tires. I went over the bars and thought I was ok until I looked up (backwards) and my 929 came down on top of me...
