How did you get injured on your motor bike?

I fear my day to fall or get hit is coming and I want to be ready. Could you a please share your story?

My brother took my bike out for a spin and wiped out on loose chip and seal. Only minor road rash injuries.

Foot slipped off pedal and got whacked in the knee. Smacked my shin on the ghetto-temp muffler clamp. ...That's about it.

Wet road and idiotic use of the front brake... and down I went like a sack of potatoes.

Injuries were mainly bruising - but they were very impressive. I also had a lot of aches and pains mainly from pulled muscles and other problems.

The bike had a completely massacred brake lever and some damage (that appeared later) to the fuel tank on the motor.

BY LITTLE I MEAN, HE WANTED TO BE A HORSE JOCKY WHEN HE WAS YOUNG (HE TOLD ME THAT, WHEN I ASKED HIM WHAT HE WANTED TO BE WHEN HE GREW UP, HE WAS A TINY FELLOW) HE HAS BEEN RIDING HIS CHINA BIKE, COASTER BRAKE FOR 1 1/2 YRS. SAID HE HAS HAD NO PROBLEMS AT ALL WITH MOTORBIKE. EXCEPT FOR A LADY HITTING HIS RITE HAND SIDE THROTTLE AND BREAKING IT. NOW HE JUST PULLS UP ON THE WHOLE CABLE ABOVE THE "CARBE" AS THE SAY IN AU OR UK. HE DID NOT SAY IF HE WAS INJURED. HE SAID HE DIDN`T KNOW WHERE THE H**L SHE CAME FROM TO HIT HIM ON THE RITE SIDE. THAT ALL I KNOW OF MB ACCIDENTS !! LATER RON

first bike i tried to ride in forty years or more threw me into a house on the first ten feet. Scraped a knee banged a shoulder just missed my head... Later a bike with a bunch of batteries turned over while I was trying to mount it. Tossed me around and scraped me up/

I was cruising along a local dirt road when I noticed a patch of loose gravel ahead . I slowed down but not enough . My front wheel dug right in and went slightly left . I was propelled straight over the bars . Deja Vu . I had done this once before on a dirt bike and my left knee , where the bike landed on top of me , was tender for years . In this case I did a perfect tuck and roll and ended up landing on both feet . I knew I was going to land it perfectly in mid roll and put both arms out and yelled OOPAH . The only problem was that I was in the middle of nowhere and nobody saw it . The bike spilled a little gas and the clutch lever was a little bent but it fired right up . I giggled all the way Home ..... D.J.

I wiped out twice. The first time was on the track. After the straightway going into a right hairpin turn and the rear tire blew out. The next day I couldn't walk so I went to the ER and only had a deep bone bruise on the knee and I had to use a cane for a few days. The bike suffered a blown out tire and a shaved pedal.
The second time was on a windy road. Went into a turn too fast and hit a freshly graveled spot. The front end washed out and all I suffered was some minor road rash. We ended up still riding 50 miles after the incident. Nothing happened to the bike.
Best thing for road rash is Mederma Scar creme. It's been 3 weeks and the scars are almost gone.

It seems gravel and motor bikes don't mix. I'll have to be extra careful in unknown areas.
