What's the best crash you ever had?
I had a beauty on a Suzuki 850 shaft drive thing one night. Was flying uphill through some snaky bends, trying to use the throttle to keep positive drive through the shaft while braking. Bad mistake. Silly idea.
Wiped out and landed on my bum in time to see the bike crash over the median strip in an incredible explosion of sparks!
I was unhurt, but the bike was almost a write-off. The bike shop I was working at didn't lend me any more 'ride bikes' for a couple of months - but that explosion of Suzuki sparks is etched into my memory. It was excellent!
