Re: How many times have crashed learning 12's

On the 929...None yet... knock on wood. I took my time learning on a fiddy and TTR first. Now it seems like 2nd nature on the 929... even jumped on an R6 the other day and scraped from a coaster on my 5th or 6th try...had never even rode one before. Just goes to show all the practice and wreckin on the smaller bikes paid off.

Re: How many times have crashed learning 12's

I crashed once learning 12s. Hit the bar crooked. Bought a fiddy, learned how to use the brake, speed up and slow down and curb side to side wobbles. Took the bar off my bike and havent crashed since. Circles are a different story.. I crash (drop my bike) about 3-4 times / day.

Re: How many times have crashed learning 12's

I'm gonna be learning them this summer, hopefully with good teachers I won't crash too too much but then again the guys who will prob help teach me crash all the time too, so I don't know if this will be good or not
