had a couple small crashes when i was learning to ride Thank God! 1. Couple weeks into riding and feeling pretty confident just riding through the neighborhood. Pulled up to a stop sign with two other cars. tried to wave them on, but they insisted i go so i went and gave it to much gas, pulled the clutch and got scared. hit the curb and jumped off the big, we both landed in the grass unharmed 2. couple months into riding and going back and forth to work. On lunch brake and was going to the pony, i was pulling into the auto zone next door and saw a bike like mine and didnt see the F250 coming at me in the parking lot. grabbed the clutch not the brake (only going about 10 mph) and hit the curb and almost crashed through the window by the parts counter.....i have to say (now) it was pretty funny cause noone was hurt, but you should have seen the guys faces in auto zone when my katana (at the time) was engine revving and the highlights blinding the old guy working the cash register. LOL!!!! Thanks God i have had a real bad crash!
