Default Had my first wreck today

I ate it doing a 3rd gear wheelie. I hit a rock about the size of a baseball I didnt see and it fell on its right side. The only major thing other than the plastic looking like **** now is I folded my right a-arm so now my wheel is on a 45 degree angle. I have some nice road rash and you should see the scratches on my helmet from where my head slammed against the ground. Always wear a helmet!

I hate the first crash on a bike. It's also kind of a relief, you dont have to worry about not crashing any more

Ahhhh....I remember my first crash. It was on a blustery fall afternoon. Not much in the line of damage to the quad, but I scored a sprained wrist, a banged-up knee, and several high quality scrapes and bruises. I remember it like it was just yesterday. I was sooooooo proud! Went home to show the wife but oddly enough, all I got was an eye roll.

Moo,
WheelCow

" all I got was an eye roll. " (no quote because i deleted it by accident)

I got the same thing from my parents along with some other choice words mostly saying that im 20 years old and I need to grow up.

Geez, You guys got eye rolls. 2 weeks ago I rolled my wifes quad twice in one day and she got so mad that she went and bought me a new warrior so I'd stay off of hers. Glad it didn't do much except do a little scratching of the plastic to hers or I would really feel bad.

Wow, speedy63, i might need to try that some time, lol. My worst crash was going around a corner after it rained, and similar to speedy2222s crash, the a$$ end kept coming around and it flipped,but it only flipped once, luckily for me.
