Re: Crash Analysis: What did you learn?
Another slow speed crash
While riding in the Texas hill country I signaled to pull off the highway onto a hard packed flat area for a photo-op. Got stopped looked behind me to find my wife and her brand new 620 on the ground. She had gone over the highside and dented the tank, bent the bars, broke the mirror, bent both brake levers.
What you did right
She had all of her protective gear on so no injuries only pride.
What you did wrong
Got front brake happy and didn't slow down enough coming off the pavement.
How could it have been avoided
Stay off the front brake when getting onto the dirt area, slowed down a little more before leaving pavement and watching where you are stopping.
