Although technically not a crash or an almost crash, I think this fits here. Although this gets batted around a lot, here is one more reminder of why not to wear jeans on a motorcycle:

I give you a three MPH slide on one knee over approx 3-4 ft of asphalt:





I have had this point told to me over and over again but, drat. Tripping off a curb and seeing that was a really sober way to bring home what a 30+ mph slide on that same knee might have looked like.

Wear your gear!

For future reference, the trick to getting over a curb is to really lean into it and give it some power with your feet to propel the body forward, thereby overcoming the force of gravity pulling you down. Also, pick your feet up so you don't trip.

Har har, for the record it was a good night at Max's down in Fells point and I was drunk, talking emphatically, and trying to impress the girl I was walking with all at the same time :downsbravo:
