I recently had my first motorcycle crash on the street (technically a low-side). I have been thinking about it a lot, in fact, every time I make a left trun I think that was how i lost traction and slid into a curb. Now that everything is fixed (except my sub-conscious) and I am riding again I cant help but think about it. I think that we that have fallen have learned from what happened. And I hope that a thread about what we did wrong and what we learned can help other riders. So, here I go:
I learned to never take road conditions for granted, and that any corner could be oily or have gravel in it. I also learned that now matter how many times you have ridden a road, conditions can change.
Please, if you have a lesson that you may have learned the hard way, post it here. With some luck we may keep another rider from making the same mistake we did.
