only had my bike for over a year but i went down 3 months ago pretty hard... was on my first group ride second to last in the pack and was riding out of my limits (too fast) when i hit a blind curve and found that the guy in front of me who'd only had a bike for 3 weeks stopped in mid turn so i took the turn wide and met an oncoming truck so i had to straight up dodge a lane of traffic and hit side of the road when the bike did a nose dive and sent me over the handlebars. Expensive/painful lessons learned:
1. RIDE WITHIN YOUR MOTHER*$#* LIMITS - - if working on gettin faster or workin on leans, either do it on a track or on a road you KNOW.
2. Be careful who you ride with
p.s. thank god for gear
