Tried to drive it up the driveway, panicked with the clutch and brake and managed to topple myself over on bushes in my front yard. Look over and my new neighbor is just watching me from his car 10 feet away. Y turns are pretty hard to navigate I hear... Content: Had a front wheel washout in a patch of sand that a construction crew had kindly laid down in the path of the right turn lane. Scary stuff, even at 5-10MPH..

Technically, I didn't crash... But my brain decided to tell my my kickstand was down when it wasn't really. 3 or 4mm scratch on the left frame slider but that's it. I was able to lower it down slow enough after the lean-point of no return. It was my shiny SV650, not my beat up Honda sadly

Almost got hammered by a taxi on the way to work. Was splitting up stopped traffic and he decided to jump over a lane. If I had come up 2 seconds later, totally woulda creamed me. I had enough room to get around him though

what was motomind's suggestion, "If you can eat it in one sitting, don't swerve etc". That may have called for slight evasive maneuvers.

Saw a guy's butthole pucker a hole in his pants on my way into work. I was cruising along at about 40, heading toward a green light that also had a protected left arrow. The left arrow turns yellow as I hear a bike of some kind speed up, followed by a busa leaning hard into a left turn to make the light. I thought to myself, "Man that guy's really leaning that thing, he must ride track or something". It was stock looking, had floppy blinkers, the whole nine. As I watched him lean and lean, his brake light came on, up it went and headed directly for the curb. Target fixation, nerves, roach in the road, who knows but he stood up off that seat SO FAST trying to lean the bike out from under him (like you would with a bicycle as a child) I swear he had some kind of brown streak on his saddle.

What is good about that video though is you seemed to tighten up your line and apply throttle, which most people wouldn't do. They'd chop the throttle and hit the rail, or lowside. so  for that one, but try not to fixate!

Had quite the opposite of the usual. Had a guy on a shadow come within inches of merging into me today. Turned on his signal and immediately started merging, no look at all. Good thing my car has a loud horn.
