Hopefully this can help some folks out there, getting over a crash is not easy, but not impossible. Ride safe out there, young squidlette.

destroyed my left leg about 3 years ago. Took me 2 years to walk again. Bought a new Z900RS 6 months ago. Took months to regain my confidence on the road but not regretting it. It was tough mentally literally getting back on a bike. Worth it.

Just went down this past sunday for the first time. These machines remind us respect is needed.

Wrecked my bike, shattered my collarbone, picked up the bike (with help of a bystander) and rode home. After surgery I was back on in 2 weeks.

I feel like Mr. Yams is the subject matter expert on this one

How ironically funny to see this the day after I go down. Be about a month until I can get back on my bike, which due to a good friend is already rideable.

My wreck took 3 of my fingers and after a few months I'm back on the horse just as strong as ever!

I just crashed my bike on a twisty road yesterday, and papa yammie already with a video about it.. Bruh why you gotta do me like that

This video was most definitely needed! Totalled my Busa last week. Injuries are broken right T-1~10, bruised rib, bruised lung, and a gashed knee. 2 day hospital visit before I walked out. Recovery based off lust for a new s1000rr. Going with a little more tech this time! Thanks for making this support video!!

I high-sideded into the middle of an intersection because my rear brake locked up (bad rider input). The bike threw me over the top and I slid through the intersection on my face(full face helmets kids. always.) This happened a few months ago. I ended up with just some bruising but not too much because ATGATT. The bike was okayish, got it fixed, ordered a new helmet, and after getting checked out medically I was back on the bike by the end of the week. You just can't be afraid of crashes as things happen, it could have been much worse, however I am going to make sure I stay on two wheels as long as I can.

I was hit a few months ago by an inattentive commercial truck driver. As anyone can imagine, I was severely injured, and had concerns that I wouldn’t even be able to walk right again. By the sheer grace of God, I’ve made a decent recovery, and I’m back on the iron horse. My return to riding was the best way for me to get passed the mental/emotional aspect of it.

Had my first crash on my dirt bike earlier today. Going around 30 or 45mph and went down on my left side and slid for around a second. Thankfully nothing broken but right wrist and whole left arm/shoulder in extreme pain, very minor compared to alot of crashes but still very shaken up and won't be able to ride for around two weeks due to the pain. However i am very eager to ride again as soon as i am able, just glad nothing too serious happened to me. A good reminder that however fun, motorcycles can be very dangerous machines and need respect similar to a large animal or a firearm. Very humbling... Wish a good recovery to anybody involved in an accident and happy riding!

Went down this past summer (2022) screwed my left leg up and now have very limited walking ability, but I shall ride again.

I was always told to get back on a bike as soon as you can after a wreck- if you wait too long or think about it too much you will be afraid for the rest of your life. When I wrecked at 75 MPH I had someone drive me down to the boneyard my bike was towed to and I rode it home the next day.

Thank you for this video yammie, I went down earlier today and it took a massive toll on my mental health I know I'll eventually get back to it but it's gonna take some time. Most people don't understand how soul crushing it is until it happens, luckily for me I was uninjured for the most part which is really all I can ask for.

I was 13 and laid down my 50cc scooter. Broke my ankle and since put on 5000 more miles on that little boi. Every one ever has crashed. You can get back on. It’s to amazing to stop riding.

I low sided my R6 going 70 something and was very lucky to walk away with only two broken fingers and sore everywhere else. Honestly changed my perspective on what type of motorcycle I wanted to be riding around on the roads.

Glad i watched this video as I got hit couple weeks ago on my way too work and i am slowly debating on getting back on two wheels. Thanks for the adivice Yammie. Never fail to give great tips for fellow riders. It was only a cb125f due too being british and on a provistional but the experiance of being hit compared too just falling off is little more worrying

I was just involved in an accident with my 2005 Suzuki SV650. A car pulled out in front of me and forced me to T Bone them. I’m currently in the hospital with a broken femur, collar bone, hip, ankles and my big toe. Watching this video seriously made me burst out into tears, know that I’m unable to walk for months and months and currently going through constant pain. I deeply thank you Yammie Noob for helping me learn about grow as a motorcyclist and showing how to start, enjoy and now recover from being in an accident. Keep up the good work. !

Dude. We’re all so happy you’re still here!! Keep crushing it homie!

Just got out of a coma and trying to get back on thanks for the video!

I high sided on my 2017 SV650 just 2 months after getting it. I bought a new jacket and helmet, after recieved a major concussion, and breaking my right wrist. Once fully healed I forced myself to hop back into the iron saddle, and am still riding to the day

Hey yammie thanks for all these videos and sharing your pearls of wisdom and making even the scary videos funny as hell, I will be going for my CBT around late march - April this year because my husband thinks I'll do so good plus I always did like bikes from a very early age so I've seen how merciless they can be and despite my nerves, worrie and excitement am a go give it my best ✌️.

This is the one I was asking for! Thanks for doing it.

I wrecked over 2 years ago . I ride around town maybe a handful of times . It took me a while to build the confidence to get back on. It was my first year of riding and I layed over my bike .

Slid out my bike pulling onto a main road yesterday. Nothing serious, but some bruising and a hurt ego. Bike needs a new mirror and brake pedal, but should be back on soon! Perfect timing for this video lol, thanks yam

Awesome advice.Thanks Yammie👍

Holy crap I needed this. Drove an old 1980 gs550 for a few months and bought a 2000 sv650 literally 2 days ago. I laid it down within the first 45 minutes of street time. Scared the shit out of me. I just had a scuffed up and swollen knee as I was in full gear except for my jeans... That and I was only going about 35. I just thought all bikes were about the same... I was wrong and it cost me. Thanks for the video pappa yam.

Had a very minor low side but still dealing w a separated shoulder. Thanks for this video.

This is my first time to comment in your channel and I want to share that I had an accident a few weeks ago and this video really helps me to recuperate as soon as possible. Just my gloves tear down, handle bar went sideways and flairings went scratch. As these kids went full stop in the middle of the road talking to each other without any intercom and much worse way to come. DOESNT WEAR HELMET lmao. Well I really do love your video thumbs up yammie!! Love from asia (Philippines)

Rear Ended...low speed thankfully. Yammie nailed it with this video. 1) Had the dealer go through my entire bike, upgraded my gear, spoke honestly with my spouse, and lastly re-read my MSF class materials and changed several habits while riding in traffic.

Twisted road for the biker who wants to test ride their next ride , as dealers don't let you . What a great idea thanks yammie :)

Yammie Noob is the MVP. Pretty ironic seeing this post after I broke my hand on a bike tour of India a couple of weeks ago

I just had one today. Perfect timing.👌

Thanks man helped me out a little

All good. Once over a car that brake checked me on a freeway on-ramp. At least 3 other downs on the street. Hard to remember them all since 1973. Like all sports, get back in the game when it’s time to.

Thanks for this yams! I rode a motorcycle for the first time in my life today. Had been riding for about 5 minutes when my back tire slips on some small rocks. I was exiting a roundabout and was driving around 18 Miles an hour. The small rocks, combined with the rain and a bumb in the Road proved too much for me. Nothing serious happened to me nor the bike so i finished the lesson. But non the less, it was fucking scary. I am not gonna let this stop my mc journey though. Just a bumb in the road🏍🇩🇰

I just crashed yesterday. That was my first time crashing and I really learned my lesson. Never speed on a crowded area and always use the visor.

It’s crazy I was in a wreck a few months ago and broke a femur, ribs, and my collarbone. It got me medically discharged from the Army. Your videos convinced me to get a bike. In the hospital I got really depressed and was really considering never riding again. The radiator just came in today I’m riding again as soon as it’s in. 🤕🤟

Great video! I’m actually watching from my bed recovering from an accident I had on 11/11/2019. I have been struggling with what to do moving forward, as much as I’d love to say it’ll be easy to get back on, I had had one of those "very near death experiences" after being cutoff by a pickup at a light. I’m a new rider and have only the 3k miles I had put on my 17 Yamaha FZ-07 to my name. But I do really think/talk about it everyday despite the concern of my friends and family, and I do think I will eventually get back to it when I heal up and start working again to actually have the money to buy another bike. Anywho, I’m just rambling at this point... Thanks again! Edit: since I scrolled and saw everyone else posting their injuries: broken ankle, shattered tibial plateau, broken knee, broken femur, 2x shattered hips and a broken pelvis, broken jaw, gaping wounds in my groin and stomach with bandages that get changed three times a day, and a bruised vertebrae (I believe it was the second one from the top)

that video is perfect, 2 weeks ago i crash, i broke my finger and my clavicle i destroy some parts of my motorcyle. tank you!

The feeling of living your last moment was scary . after i realised that im alive with broken leg i was happy.. crushed some idiot trying to make u turn, than i found myself under parking suv

Great video my bur. I v crashed a few things drops ect. Part of riding you ride a lot if might happen. It helped me a lot to take a brake after wreck o keep riding the days afterwards and just didt not feel good mental on it which effected how I was riding so I took a brake for over a week and I helped so much.

Cool. Thanks Yammie!

There are two kinds of motorcycle rider, those who have come off and those who will. Only motorcycle riders understand why dogs stick their head out of a car window! 👍🤣

I low sided into a ditch after a pickup came around an s curve in my lane and gave me the options of hit the truck, hit the asphalt or go in the dirt. My tail swung out in the dirt and slid into the ditch. Bruised and battered I got back on and rode to my buddies. We had to vice the shifter back straight and the bike got some scratches but it was ok. Got back on about 2 weeks later.

Definitely glad I was able get back to riding after my accident late last year (just got a new bike a few weeks ago). Wrecked my little ninja 400 which was the closest thing I've ever had to a child and was heartbroken. Now moved to a nice comfy z900 that I plan on keeping for a long time 👍. These were definitely all the things I had to go through and helped me get back on as soon as I did.

Read some comments and theme is telling me this. Guys get good boots, steel toed, ankle reinforced etc.

Went down for the very first time in September. This was my third bike and 4-5th year riding. My first two bikes before this one, didn't get a lot of miles in the saddle and this was my first brand new bike ( Go figure ) I had a girl cut me off right before a red light and admittedly panicked in the moment and didn't downshift properly and instead locked up my rear brake and lowsided on my right leg breaking the bone. First crash, first broken bone. While it definitely doesn't help to dwell it IS important to understand what you did wrong or could have done differently from a purely analytical perspective. Videos like Twist of the wrist, as well as watching influencers like Papa lube definitely help to get theories and concepts in your head even when you aren't riding. My bike took a low amount of damage and the seasons about to start, so it's time to get back in the saddle. Be safe my dudes!

Of course I can get back on it. Depends on how fast I heal the broken bones and ripped off ligaments.

I crashed my honda nighthawk 750 recently because of a highsider. It caused me to have a concussion and ive been looking for something to keep me going in the riding community besides just my friends that witnessed it happen this video has definitely made more confident in getting back into riding and i figured id just leave my bike and not even worry about it anymore because it would be cheaper to buy a new one than getting it from the tow yard and repairing it myself. Not only that but i can no longer even look at the bike because of anxiety of seeing it makes me worry because the concussion also gave me amnesia of the accident even happening. I no longer even have my old gear because of the pure fact i cant look at it because of what happened. Im just glad i didn't break or damaged anything other than my brain because its honestly made me a better person as of recently.

Always tough to bounce back from crashing your bike both mentally and physically. I would recommend getting with a riding coach to help gain their confidence back. Stay safe riders!!

Lowsided my bike back on Sunday. Just lost traction in the lean, I think, and went right out from under me. Got it up out of the small ditch it slid into, and rode home. Alignment is a little wonky, cracked a headlight bracket, but overall apart from a scraped knee with a hole in my riding pants, all in all I’m good. Just need the time to adjust the alignment luckily.

Yo love your vids I’m hopping to get my licence soon

Great job Yam. Keep on. Lets agree, mother of most accidents is simply driving too fast. So, please, slow down.

Hey Yammie, I crashed on the day this video was posted, at 11pm. A guy took a left on a right turn only, didn't look at all, didn't see me, just turned out in front of me. The front end of my 2019 Kawasaki ZX6R was demolished, and I was knocked unconscious. I suffered a major concussion, 5 broken ribs, and a fractured T5. It hurt for a while, but it will never hurt as much as losing a bike I only had for 3 days. My parents and loved ones don't want me back on a bike, but I know I will just be depressed my whole life if I don't. You speak the truth, there is something powerful about being on two wheels that I can't explain. I really needed this video, thanks for posting this video, I hope to be back on the road soon.

I laid my 2017 Zero SR down for the first time ever this past Thursday, how did i get back on and ride? I wanted to get home, even tho hurt so i got my ass back on and rode home! Def did change my mindset on how i ride/what i wear when i ride!

I loved this video and I think it was just what I needed. I went down on my 14 Victory XC last Sunday and broke my ankle. Im realizing now that having A heavy bagger like that might not be for me in the future. I loved my 20' kawasaki Vulcan 900 that I gave to my dad and im thinking of trading my XC for a Road King/Springfield...A lot lighter and agile.

I broke my arm and rubbed half my face clean when I crashed without a helmet back in 2011. The first time I rode a bike properly since then was just last month, when my cousin made me try his new Yamaha Aerox scooter. Side note it was a damn comfy scooter. The biggest factor for almost anybody really is just the PTSD of getting back on the saddle of one.

A drunk driver crushed my bike this pass Thursday in a hit and run. I’m rebuilding right now but my mindset is different right now.

I love bikes with all my heart, they have been in my life since I can remember. In the last 6 months me and my best friend got our licenses and first bikes. In the last 3 months I had a small but close accident, and only 2 months after my best friend almost dies on his bike due to other drivers not paying attention. We were both fine but the fact that everything people have told us about bikes, happened, its haunting

Hit an oil puddle while cornering,the bike lowsided and I rolled 3 times and slid 15 feet dislocated my shoulder,I'm glad I had a good friend riding with me that night,got my bike running again and can't wait for riding season!

This is a good video, I fell off my moped while taking a turn(twice, fell again later while driving home cuz of some bad roads) under 30mph and it’s been like 3 weeks. No fractures just road rash and bruising, I wasn’t wearing a jacket(tshirt) And I’m really nervous taking turns now, I rode for like 10 minutes around the block and man I had to get off I got so nervous, I feel dumb kinda. So it’s kinda crazy how the mind can affect you

Was at a stop sign and had a lady take the turn too sharp, late at night. Wasn't fast on her part, but enough to break my leg and fracture my ankle. Just about healed up and the bikes all good (damage-wise), so I gotta learn how to walk again, and how to ride. This is my first major spill in the six years I've been riding so...yeah. Thanks for the vid man, ride safe :)

I was involved in a serious wreck in 2010 (I think). I was in the hospital for almost a month (but some of that had to do with poor treatment of my injuries). Its important to do "failure analysis" whenever something doesn't go well. This especially includes motorcycle wrecks. The question you must answer is "What could I have done to achieve a different outcome?" Sometimes there is no good answer. I hit a deer with my truck last year and I have no idea what I could have done to prevent that. The absolute WORST part of wrecking is everyone asking me if I was going to ride again. People I didn't even know were popping into my room and asking me that. Eventually I told them that YES I will be riding again, but I'm giving up wrecking for sure.

I had someone pull out in front of me on South Lamar in Austin when I was going about 30 MPH. I smacked into their driver side door and it shook me pretty bad. I went to the ER and everything cleared! Not one broken bone at all and within a week I was looking for a new bike. My significant other noticed this and was almost on the verge of tears begging me not to or at least just wait. I really can say that waiting was the best thing, I may not have had any broken bones and got extremely lucky but I still had A LOT of soft tissue damage, going to physical therapy 2-3 times a week was annoying but in the end of it all it worked out. I'll always be a die hard rider but waiting is one of the biggest keys to this, take your time, pay attention to your body and move at YOUR pace.

Hit a deer doing about 80 kph ... Picked up the bike, straightened out the brake levers, hand and foot both took the hit... rode it home the hour and a half that was left on my 1200 km ride... Bike fairings took a bit of a hit and front signals trashed, but even the RCMP officer didn't try too hard to keep me there... I handed him my helmet and asked him to show me a mark... he passed it back saying there was none... TY :D I was sore on both sides as I was ejected like on a high side and tumbled down the road... The day after wasn't the worst, that second and third day was much more painful... but all in all my gear saved any major damage, and within a week I barely felt it deep in my right ankle, and 2 weeks after ... fully healed... Same spot, 1 week previous , a younger rider hit a deer in almost the same spot and died from his injuries... Gear up and ride responsible at dusk when animals are on the roam and are hard to see.

I just crashed yesterday and got cleared this morning. I was very lucky...helmet saved my ass.

just came of my scooter yesterday, was bewildered how the fk it happened went back today and bingo white painted line ontop of a manhole... end of my bloody street to. lowsided with barely any scrapes so i got lucky, stay aware and safe all

im here with you too Yammie

Wrecked on Monday hopped back on the bike on Tuesday with wrist issues and went around the corner I crashed on got 80% of my confidence back

crashed my duke 390 2 weeks ago, all my left side is still in pain but I think in 2 weeks from now I could walk normally thanks

Love you yam

Crashed my 2017 'Busa. Still recovering from torn pcl, left knee, fractured bone in right hand. Stiffness and numbness still present 9 mos. later. Went out and got an FJ09. It sits in garage. I knew I wanted to ride again, yet everytime I see it, I make an excuse not to ride it. The mind is a powerful thing. In this case it tricked me into thinking I missed riding, but truth is, I was in love with the IDEA of getting back into it. Not actually doing it, I hate to say. btw...love your 'Busa Boy vids. Memories...memories...memories...

I literally crashed yesterday and yammie uploads this video, coincidence? I think not

im 16 and im still learning about riding of course and i've crashed 3x probably and thank god they weren't bad crashes and i just learn from them, everytime i fall i treat it as a story of learning i guess, more people should just think of crashing as learning and in my opinion it makes it easier to bounce back and of course be more careful

I had an accident practising for the driving exam. Destroyed my arm and it kept me 9 months away from riding. In the end I overcame my fear and got my license but god it was tough.

Now I want a decepticon sticker

I'm currently still recovering from a complet humerus fracture in my upper left arm and 3 tears around my rotator cuff (already had 3 surgeries done) was essentialy bed written for 3 months and am currently in PT for the last year and the more my range of movement heals around my left arm the more issues I'm finding with my left arm like the muscles and tendons. I gotta admit I miss the hell out of my cherry 650rr and can't wait to get back on a zx 6r but I don't even know if im mentally prepared yet. I went to a dealer 3 days ago got on the zx 6r and it felt right all around I wasn't scared of the bike or even riding it (I didn't ride it but imagined myself riding) but that impact immediately came to my mind when I got off the bike. Being struck by a car running a red light has done some serious damage but I don't know how to asses if there is psych damage yet, all I can think about is when I'll finally be healthy enough to ride again.

After my 1st crash, I just got back up slowly. I started going back to the parking lot, trained more and accepted the idea.

My friend had 11 bike crashes and 1 of them was with me behind. I kinda broke my hand and we both almost got run over by vehicles going at 60mph.

In my experience I've crashed here in our sandia mountains on a hair pin and our track here in nm with that i learned my limits and choice of tires and when i got hit by a car here in the city it changed my style to the out skirts of town and to the track.

I low sided into a ditch nearly 2 years ago, visor was torn off my helmet, gloves were torn up and there was a big hole in my mesh padded jacket. I was fortunate to just have a big scrape on my elbow, some bloody fingers and some scratches on my face. Maybe I'm just young and dumb, but I rode it home with bent handle bars and no headlight or front left signal.

Hey Papa Yam, Why cant u make the beginner bike giveaway internationally, (cough, cough, New Zealand) give us non-americans a chance

Thanks, that helped

Fiancée went down the other day in the neighborhood streets on his ktm 450 exc. Ripped his new gear up and still got road rash cause the armored sleeve slid up somehow on one side so it gashed and ripped his arm up good and sprained his wrist.. but he will be back riding this Friday hopefully when it all heals

Funny! I just crashed today... good thing i was fully protected and im not on a big bike. Thanks for the vid Yam ;D Gotta take the bike to the shop now, feels bad man

I haven't bounced back yet. I went down at the beginning of December 2019 on a group ride. I saw the footage of the guy behind me and between that and my memory, I think the root cause of my crash was my distraction. I was paying more attention to how far I was from the person in front of me than to where I was in my lane position. I wasn't trying to "keep up", I was trying to make sure I wasn't getting too close. I learned either is just as bad when it comes to being distracted from what you really need to be paying attention to which in this case was where I was in relation to a turn. I broke my left scapula in one place, my right scapula in 7 places, 3 ribs, my cuboid bone (the tarsal in the middle of the foot just in front of the ankle) and bruised my right lung. I had to have surgery right before Christmas to screw the top half of the socket of my right shoulder back onto the rest of the scapula and to get to that part of the shoulder, the biggest tendon of the rotator cuff had to be cut to get in at the socket, then sewn back together. I destroyed most of the cartilage inside the socket as well. I've got more physical therapy ahead, and with a lot of effort, I can raise my right arm straight in front of me up to horizontal from the floor, but not any higher. I can't bear much weight on that shoulder, so I think riding still has to wait until I can effectively push and pull the bars while leaning without feeling like my shoulder is grinding small bits of cartilage that are floating around in there. My wreck wasn't as bad as Yammie Noob's but it is pretty disconcerting that I might never quite get back to how I was. Yammie mentioned the insurance thing and I can confirm for the state of Texas that my insurance carrier reimbursed me for every piece of gear I was wearing when I crashed, severe damage or not. All they required was for me to send them pictures of the gear I was wearing with the brand and model clearly visible, and the receipts for the gear. I didn't keep my receipts, but in my case, they took screenshots of the website I bought my gear from with the brand, model, price, and picture of the gear all clearly visible in the screenshot. My biggest takeaway from the whole thing as far as insurance is concerned is that the least expensive option for personal injury in my state is "medical payments" at $1000 coverage. That's basically the ambulance ride. I got charged almost that much for the slings and boot they gave me at the ER, so give that some thought when tailoring your insurance policy. It goes up to $25k and costs more as coverage goes up, but $1000 isn't going to pay for much beyond the ambulance ride.

I know this is an old vid mate but I had an off a few months ago and got a brain 🧠 injury ( it was my fault for not riding to the road conditions ) I’m off the rides for about another month now / Doctors 🥼 orders ! But fantastic Vid and well put Regards Paul from Australia 🇦🇺 I also like 👍 all your other vids as well .

i decked my xr250r last year in may,many broken ribs incurred i"m only just back to normal now,i had six weeks off after the accident but i"m nearly 50 so i guess it just takes a bit longer,the honda was ok too...keep the rubber on the road noob from si in the uk

Going down will definitely make you want to wear gear. It worked for me and i see alot of new riders and some old stubborn ones who never crashed and bash you secretly for wearing gear.

I went down on mine last September. Dumb error, went down at 35-40 mph. Had gear on so no injuries. Once i checked it out decided to ride it home. Didn’t have a right peg or rear brake though. Made it home fine. Just sucked that it was in limp mode (exhaust servo cable broke) so it would only go up to 6000 rpm. Still kept up with traffic on the freeway though at 80-85, just couldn’t accelerate as hard.

Why should we dragg our knee while cornering.....plz make a video on the idea behind dragging knee..

I just got up stood the bike up wiped the blood off my arm and leg and called a flatbed because there was no oil left in it because I put a whole in the stator cover. Limped around for two weeks and got some awesome scars from road rash. Was back on it a week later after I got the new cover and turning signal.

Broke my femur, ankle and got a brain injury. Frontal collision. I'm 23. I will be getting back on as soon as I start working again and can afford a new bike!

Totaled my bike about 3 months ago. Got pulled out in front of at an intersection, guy didn’t have insurance and couldn’t pay for anything of mine, even with it being no fault of my own. Hey Bone came out of my thumb, severe internal bruising, super deep cuts and gashes all over my legs. I was wearing full gear and couldn’t imagine what it would be like today if I hadn’t worn gear. All of it had to get cut through to get to my body, too

Brain injury means i cannot recall my first ride after my crash....but apparently it was about 3 weeks.....even now some thing is pulling me from getting back out as much as i wish

Someone 8 months ago switched lanes i to me on the freeway not paying attention and I flew half a football field at 50mph into a hemmoraging coma. When I came to a week later I had no memory and to this day I still have no recollection of not only the accident but even leaving the house. Thank God Im alive and actually I appreciate the lack of PTSD inducing memory. Maybe I would be too scared to ride if I remembered it. R.I.P. Vulcan S. Hello FJ09 😎 riding better than ever now. But I must agree with the Yams. GO AT YOUR OWN PACE!!! it took nearly a month to get comfortable riding again and that was after months of healing from the head injury and almost broken back.

Totaled my third bike in 2012, decided I needed to slow down and got a Harley so going 130+ on a naked isn’t exactly a good idea

Sooooo glad I saw this video today whfew !!! Man oh man I just 2 weeks ago or so was going 100 mph on the interstate on my CBR600 so pretty slow I felt I was taking it easy mostly because I had my backpack strapped to the rear seat well I went from casually going 100 too my backpack slipping down and getting caught up in my chain and rear tire and then I feel a tiny little pop it felt like a pop kinda and I thought my tire blew but little did I know so I’m assuming I’ve lost traction so I’m tryna throttle my self up to regain traction but i noticed it was completely silent ( because that pop sound was the backpack getting stuck in my rear tire between the wall and the tire so my bike instantly stalled ) so I’m silently sliding at just below 100 mph down the interstate with a bike that’s off I realized so I stood up and was trying to keep it straight and of course I started getting sideways sliding with smoke 💨 everywhere in my rear and boom the bike corrects itself and sends me flying over the other side for a good old Highside from hell so I ragdolled it and let my body go and tumbled down the rode a Waze full gear but my pants and jacke got holes in them so I got minor road rash and I tumbled end over end and happened to land on my feet and was running down the rode my bike sliding next to me upside down lol my GoPro in my face took most the impact cuz it was smashed into strate pieces like I didn’t know gopros could get that destroyed and besides not being able to walk for a few days from soreness I was completely fine no major injuries bikes thrashed but I’m good.. and since then when I get in a bike and try to go fast ish I keep getting mad anxiety and having a panicky attack right when I get to 100 and I thought I was just being a pussy and to push through it but I’m hearing that it’s a normal feeling right? So yea this helped me a lot hearing this.
